NOAA Fisheries Anchorage Office
The Anchorage office of NOAA Fisheries includes the Protected Resources Division and Habitat Conservation Division.
NOAA Fisheries' Protected Resources Division (PRD) is responsible for implementing marine mammal conservation and recovery programs under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in close coordination with the State of Alaska and other partners.
The Habitat Conservation Division (HCD) works in coordination with industries, stakeholder groups, government agencies, and private citizens to avoid, minimize, or offset the adverse effects of human activities on Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) and living marine resources in Alaska. This work includes conducting and/or reviewing environmental analyses for a large variety of activities ranging from commercial fishing to coastal development to large transportation and energy projects.
