Updated overview of state-managed marine fisheries in the central and western Gulf of Alaska, Aleutian Islands, and southeastern Bering Sea with reference to Steller sea lions

This report provides an update of a document prepared by Kruse et al. (2000) to provide information to the National Marine Fisheries Service on state-managed fisheries for consideration in National Marine Fisheries Service's analysis of the potential cumulative impacts of all fisheries on the endangered status of the western population of Steller sea lions. The scope is largely confined to fisheries occurring in the Gulf of Alaska west of 144⁰ W longitude and in the Aleutian Islands and southeastern Bering Sea, encompassing the primary region of the National Marine Fisheries Service concern about Steller sea lions.
