Mariculture Map Overview¶
The Mariculture Map is a web-based tool offering investors, regulators, and operators the ability to discover and access environmental, oceanographic and social data to inform site selection and aquatic farm permit applications.
The Mariculture Map integrates datasets from many different sources that are relevant to aquaculture farming in Alaska. Using this tool, customized maps can be created and printed for aquaculture permit applications, including:
General Location Map
Detailed Location Map
Site Plan Map
Within each of these map types, data layers that meet the permit requirements have been added by default. You can add or remove data layers. Customize your map by drawing and adding annotations of your proposed farm site. Print the final version for submission with your permit application. Or, save the map to be later edited. For more information, refer to the below section.
