Watch Our January Webinar on Northeast Regional Marine Fish Habitat Assessment Data
The Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Ocean Data Portals, in coordination with the Northeast Regional Habitat Assessment (NRHA) and the Marine-life Data and Analysis Team (MDAT), recently released a series of maps that illustrate the relative abundance of several coastal fish species in the northeastern U.S. as reflected in repeated coastal trawl surveys. Our “How Tuesday” webinar on Jan. 27 focused on these data and the NRHA effort it was derived from.
In this session, Duke University Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab (MGEL) Geospatial Analyst Sarah DeLand provided an overview of the data, how it was compiled, and how to access them on the Portals. Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC) Fishery Management Specialist Tori Kentner shared further background on NRHA and demonstrate how to access many additional marine life map products via the NRHA Data Explorer.
