| Alaska Department of Fish and Game Copyright Notice
Please Note: For brevity, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game will be referred to simply as “ADF&G;” in the following text. Department Copyright Notice: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game's authority to claim copyright protection for its original works of authorship derives from (Alaska Statutes) AS 16.05.050(2), 16.05.050(8), and AS 44.99.400. Copyright protection begins automatically from the moment the work is created in fixed form and begins without any formality, process, or application. In keeping with changes in copyright law in March 1989, the standard copyright notice (e.g., “© 1999 Alaska Department of Fish and Game”) is not required to establish copyright, nevertheless, we have attempted to include a copyright notice on all of the department’s web pages to inform users of ADF&G;’s copyright. Users of this website should not assume that pages, materials, or graphics found on this website without any copyright notice are unprotected and free to copy, as this may not be the case. Webmaster's Note: An increasing number of individuals and/or web sites are beginning to repost/republish ADF&G; copyrighted materials without proper authorization or permissions. If you are not sure whether the Fair Use provision of the Copyright Act would allow copying a needed item or material, request copies or copying permission from the department (specifically the ADF&G; Commissioner or the appropriate division directors or webmasters) before using ADF&G; materials. As an alternative to reposting our materials on other web sites we encourage the use of one or more of the following web techniques: (1) sites can link to our own pages containing those materials or information, (2) create coding such that a NEW browser window will open displaying our appropriate web page (A HREF=" " . . . target="_blank" or target="_new"), or (3) write to us and request that specific data or information that is currently not posted to our site be added to our site so links can be established to our original material on our site. For materials that we are unable to post immediately (for your site to link to), you may inquire about licensing those materials for posting to your own web site. The use of “frames” to reproduce/display our web pages/site on an external website is prohibited. When requesting permission to copy, republish, or reprint material from ADF&G;, prepare a letter of request that includes the following: (1) explain the nature of the request (i.e., your intended use and its duration), and (2) include pertinent source information (e.g., year, volume, number, edition, pages or portions of a page, URL of the web page, and/or nature of the information or data) that clearly identifies the material. Review of your request may take some time. If you receive no immediate response, do not assume permission has or would have been granted. Contact ADF&G; again and request a follow-up to your initial inquiry. Although ADF&G; may grant license(s) to use any of its copyrighted materials, the department also reserves the right to revoke such authorization at any time, and use of our materials shall be discontinued immediately upon written notice from this department. Documents or materials specified above may not include the design or layout of this web site. Elements of this web site are protected by trade dress and other laws and may not be copied or imitated in whole or in part. No logo, graphic, sound, or image from ADF&G;'s web site may be copied, republished/reposted, or retransmitted unless expressly permitted by ADF&G.; For more detailed information pertaining to the department's copyright policy please contact your nearest ADF&G; office and request a copy of our Standard Operating Procedure document (SOP III-401) or view this PDF document online (116K).* Alteration or Manipulation Restricted Rights Legend
