Accessibility

Last updated: April 2026

Alabama Fishing Atlas is committed to making this site usable for everyone, including people who use assistive technologies. We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance.

What we do

• Semantic HTML throughout — proper use of headings, landmarks, and lists
• Skip-to-content link at top of every page
• Descriptive alt text on every image
• Color contrast at or above 4.5:1 for body text
• Keyboard-navigable interactive elements
• ARIA labels on icon buttons and controls
• Respects prefers-reduced-motion

Known limitations

The interactive Mapbox map on lake pages has limited screen reader support — this is a known limitation of the Mapbox GL library. Key information from the map (hotspot names, coordinates, techniques) is also available in the text content below the map on each lake page.
