    "description": "This WebMapper provides information related to the preliminary results of the Alaska Aquaculture Opportunity Area (AOA) spatial suitability analysis conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS). The NCCOS spatial suitability analysis and underlying model detailed in this report are part of a multi-year planning process in which NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) and the State of Alaska are working to identify AOAs in Alaska State waters to help sustainably advance shellfish and seaweed aquaculture (also referred to in Alaska as mariculture). This information is being provided for the purposes of sharing methods and results and collecting public input prior to the completion of the final NCCOS spatial analysis. 



The work presented here is the result of an AOA spatial suitability model developed by NCCOS with input from expert marine spatial scientists, marine ecologists, project coordinators, policy analysts, and subject matter experts at NCCOS, NOAA Fisheries, and the State of Alaska. Collectively, this team provided input during the model construction process, reviewed data layers, assigned weights, and informed the model development and interpretation of results.
