Alaskan waters

Alaskan waters refer to the extensive marine areas surrounding Alaska, including the Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, and Arctic Ocean. These waters are crucial for their rich marine life, fishing industries, and natural resources like oil and gas. They feature diverse ecosystems, from icy Arctic regions to temperate coastal zones, supporting species such as salmon, whales, and seabirds. These waters are also vital for navigation, transportation, and national security. Since they span international and U.S. jurisdictions, management involves complex environmental and economic considerations to balance resource use with conservation efforts.
