The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in collaboration with the Alaska Department of Fish and
Game Sport Fish Division (ADFG) with funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore
Foundation sponsored a Workshop on Predicting Salmon Habitat in Alaska in
Anchorage, Alaska, on May 17-19, 2006.
The overall goal of the Workshop was to advance the development of valid models for
predicting salmon habitat distribution in Alaska in order to expand the coverage of the
Anadromous Waters Catalog (AWC) by: (1) Enhancing ADFG and TNCs knowledge
and ability to use spatial models, (2) Improving the overall capability of ADFG to
effectively survey potential habitat, and (3) Providing information for ADFG to gain
funding support for their program to expand the AWC.
