Narrative:
I was given clearance to take off from mri and proceed to shipcreek to overfly the knik arm (water) and cross edf approach corridor. Anchorage terminal area pilot bulletin (page 9) (14 crash fire rescue equipment part 93) has a misprint that states 'merrill traffic do fly between 600 ft and 2000 ft).' since I was given clearance over the water. I thought my altitude was correct (at 1200 ft and climbing). The tower controller advised I was in violation unless I requested 'altitude deviation.'
