• Description:
  Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (HAPC) are site-specific areas of Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) of managed species. Identification of HAPCs provides focus for additional conservation efforts for those habitat sites that are ecologically important, sensitive to disturbance, exposed to development activities, or rare. This Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluates alternatives for designating HAPC sites in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and the Aleutian Islands (AI) and implementing associated fisheries management measures to provide additional conservation of specified HAPC areas.
