̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Alaska's Ecological Atlases

Our Goals
Providing accessible, science-based ecological atlases that support informed conservation and sustainable management of Alaska’s landscapes and waters.
What We’re Doing
Advancing science-based conservation by developing and sharing ecological atlases that synthesize the best available data to inform management decisions and promote long-term stewardship of Alaska’s birds, wildlife, habitats, and communities.

Ecological Atlas of Southeast Alaska

Where can you find the highest number of bird species in Southeast Alaska? Where does the habitat of brown and black bears overlap? ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Alaska’s Ecological Atlas of Southeast Alaska answers these questions and more through maps and written descriptions. ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Alaska researched data and compiled information from researchers and agencies to create a thorough look at the landscape of Southeast, from human uses such as airports and ferry routes to wildlife uses such as bird and salmon habitat.

Print copies are available for purchase from ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Alaska for $105, plus $22 for shipping and handling. To place an order, visit our or contact our office.

Ecological Atlas of the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas

The Ecological Atlas of the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas is a comprehensive, transboundary atlas that contains over 100 maps of Arctic marine mammals, seabirds, sea ice, subsistence, and more. The Atlas is organized into six sections that build, layer by layer, the ecological foundation of the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas.

Print copies are available for purchase from ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Alaska for $105, plus $22 for shipping and handling. To place an order, visit our  or contact our office.

Ecological Atlas of Alaska's Western Arctic

In July 2016, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Alaska completed a long-term effort to integrate the best available science into a series of maps highlighting key resources within Alaska's Western Arctic. The resulting publication, the Ecological Atlas of Alaska's Western Arctic, helps the reader explore the land­scape and better understand the overlap of wildlife, people, and development to inform conservation and management.
