Welcome to the EVOS Interactive Parcel Map
The EVOS Interactive Parcel Map allows you to view information about lands acquired through the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS) Habitat Protection Program, including acreage and state, federal, or other interests in the properties.
The Habitat Protection Program is funded through the EVOS Trust Fund, which was established as part of the settlement of the State’s litigation against ExxonMobil following the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989. The Trust Fund is used, in part, to purchase high-value habitat within the spill area to protect resources and services injured by the spill.
Habitat Acquired
As of 2020, the EVOS Trust Fund has been used to conserve approximately 650,000 acres of land in Prince William Sound, the Kenai Peninsula, and the Kodiak Archipelago, including:
- Over 1,400 miles of coastal habitats and more than 300 anadromous rivers, streams and spawning areas, which are now available for public access and recreation, including hunting and fishing.
- Many small parcels, typically encompassing strategically located habitats, such as coves, important stretches of river, the mouths of rivers, or land adjacent to valuable tidelands.
- Over 1,800 acres along the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers and their watersheds, including several miles of shoreline.
- Over 3,200 acres along the Moose River, a major sockeye salmon producer that feeds into the Kenai River.
- Over 170 acres on the Anchor River, including more than two miles of river frontage and 500 acres of contiguous intact floodplain communities, providing important spawning and rearing habitat for four species of salmon and the largest steelhead run in Cook Inlet.
- Other parcels in Prince William Sound and on Kodiak Island and Northern Afognak Island, all of which have been identified as high priority for habitat protection.
