Description:
Abstract:
This shapefile contains polygon features summarizing statewide observations and for the Cook Inlet beluga, Delphinapterus leucas pop. 4. This coverage was created by the Zoology program of the Alaska Natural Heritage Program, Anchorage, AK. Sources of the observations may include published scientific papers, unpublished reports and surveys, and museum specimens.
Purpose:
This dataset is intended to describe current known concentration areas of the Cook Inlet beluga, Delphinapterus leucas pop. 4. This information was developed in association with efforts to describe life history and distribution of species featured in Alaska's Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy, which was prepared by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and reviewed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
All vertebrate observations were assembled from a variety of sources and evaluated by program zoologists for data accuracy and quality. Excel software was used to assemble observation data tables. These database files were transfered to ArcGIS software and x,y coordinates in each table were used to create a point feature coverage. The resulting shapefiles were displayed over various basemaps to check general locational accuracy and the shapefile was projected into Alaska Albers projection (NAD83). Where necessary, data of different projections were reprojected and merged into one Albers dataset. Concentrations of points and maps/descriptions of the species' range were used to create hand-drawn polygon features representing estuary concentration areas for the Cook Inlet beluga.
