Alaska region map
Map of 104 inventoried dams and 3 road-related barriers likely to impact aquatic organisms in the Alaskaregion.

Includes 1 states with:

104 inventoried dams, including:

  • 0 that have been reconned for social feasibility of removal

8,833 or more potential road-related aquatic barriers, including:

  • 3 that have been assessed for impacts to aquatic organisms
  • 3 that are likely to impact aquatic organisms
Explore how many dams or road-related barriers there are in a state, county, or watershed.
Identify and rank dams or road-related barriers that reconnect the most high-quality aquatic networks.

85 inventoried dams and 1 assessed road-related barriers were not analyzed because they could not be correctly located on the aquatic network or were otherwise excluded from the analysis. You can optionally include these in your download.

Note: These statistics are based on inventoried dams and road-related barriers. Because the inventory is incomplete in many areas, areas with a high number of dams may simply represent areas that have a more complete inventory.


You can help!

You can help improve the inventory You can help improve the inventory by sharing data, assisting with field reconnaissance to evaluate the impact of aquatic barriers, or even by reporting issues with the inventory data in this tool.
