Anchorage, Alaska Municipality Elodea Infestation Extent Polygons

Published by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 25, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-02-19T00:00:00Z
This polygon layer contains extents of Elodea infestations identified within the Anchorage, Alaska municipality. Polygons were created in the field using the ESRI's Field Map application. Sampling protocol follows "Fulkerson, J. (2023). Standard Operating Procedure for Elodea Detection in Alaska Lakes. Alaska Center for Conservation Science". Once Elodea were detected at a given site, the crew will delineate the extent of the Elodea infestation, either visually or using rake throws and draw a polygon in the Field Map application delineating the extent of a given infestation.
