The Kodiak Area Plan was approved by the DNR Commissioner on December 20, 2004. The adoption of this plan establishes land and resource management direction for 3.9 million acres of state land, consisting of about 0.57 million acres of uplands and about 3.3 million acres of state tidelands and submerged lands. The planning boundary of the Kodiak Area Plan includes all of the area within the corporate boundaries of the Kodiak Island Borough, which includes the Kodiak island group (Kodiak, Shuyak, Raspberry, and Afognak), portions of the Alaska Peninsula, and a number of small islands and small island groups, of which Trinity Island is the largest. With the exception of the uplands on Kodiak, Shuyak, and Afognak Islands, tidelands and submerged lands predominate within the planning area.
