Bioband attribues from the ShoreZone inventory and mapping database (http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/shorezone/) were converted from descriptive fields to a presense/absense database for analysis and the final biodiversity index. This distribution dataset includes the complete source database, presense/absense analysis fields, and biodiversity index. Data and Resources
