Fisheries Habitat Characterization of the California Continental Margin: Identification, Quantification, and Synthesis of Existing Information

National Sea Grant College Program Collaborative Project
#R/F-181A .PI- Dr. Gary Greene, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories.
#R/F-181B .PI- Dr. Rikk Kvitek, Sea Floor Mapping Lab, CSU Monterey Bay

This joint collaborative project between the Sea Floor Mapping Lab at California State University Monterey Bay (#R/F-181B) and the Center for Habitat Studies at Moss Landing Marine Labs (#R/F-181A) constitutes the initial stages of building both a database and a series of habitat maps that can be used to plan and implement effective Essential Fish Habitat programs for California. Managers and fishery scientists can now identify data voids and more capably define areas for future studies.

Distribution: Data from this project are available to the public at the cost of CD-ROM reproduction. Contact the Center for Habitat Studies to request CD sets. (831) 771-4419, or Gary Greene, CHS Director, at greene@mlml.calstate.edu.
