The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), Division of Sport Fish recently developed a new Google Earth mapping application that is now posted on the department’s website and available for public use. The application provides anglers and other information seekers with easy access to contour
ADF&G is confident the user-friendly Alaska Lake Database (ALDAT) application has something for everyone. Water bodies are marked on a Google Earth map with colored pins, making stocked fisheries identifiable at a glance. Anglers can search potential fishing locations by name, area, stocking date, or fish species. Outdoor enthusiasts can manually navigate the map using their mouse and overlay useful layers such as roads and trails. Students, managers, and researchers can export lake data across multiple datasets and specify the fields they wish to include in their request using the data export page.
“Alaska’s lakes are teeming with fish, and each provides exciting opportunities for sustainable sport fishing opportunities. This innovative approach to providing information in a manner that is easily accessible and tailored to the needs of our Alaskan anglers is consistent with the division’s goal to inform the public about recreational fishing opportunities with an emphasis on exceptional customer service,” said Charlie Swanton, Director of the ADF&G Division of Sport Fish.
