The combined populations of Homer and Kodiak are used to represent the health of the human communities closely associated with the marine ecosystem of the Gulf of Alaska. Data are from the Alaska Population Estimates by Borough, Census Area, City and Census Designated Place (CDP), 2000-2010, and 1990 - 2009, found at the Alaska State Labor Statistics http://laborstats.alaska.gov/index.htm. This indicator could be refined in the future to better represent the human populations that are directly influenced by fishing and/or ecosystem state. Attributes of an improved indicator include representation of trends in rural communities (that can be swamped by signals from larger communities), responsiveness to environmental changes, and availability at annual time scales.
