Description:The largest and geologically most complex area of the U.S. coastal zone occurs off Alaska. This region has a wide diversity of benthic habitat types ranging from the extensive soft-sediment areas of the Bering Sea shelf to the complex, high-relief habitats of the Aleutian Islands and portions of the Gulf of Alaska (Fig. 1). These habitats support some of the largest fisheries in the United States. Many Alaska fisheries that target groundfish, crab, and scallops use fishing gear that disturbs benthic habitat. That gear includes bottom trawls, longlines, pots, and dredges.
