Relative abundance of select reef fishes from Southeast Reef Fish Survey video data, 2011–2023
Reef fish species along the southeast United States Atlantic coast (hereafter, SEUS) have been monitored by the Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment, and Prediction program (MARMAP) and the Southeast Reef Fish Survey (SERFS) with chevron traps since 19...
Benthic habitat data of Wawaloi and Keei, Kona Coast, Island of Hawaii, August 2004 (NODC Accession 0070530)
Transects were made at two locations on the west side of the Island of Hawaii in August 2004 to study the structure and composition of the benthic habitat. Photoquadrants were established to quanitfy the percent of the benthic substrate occupied by coral...
A Climate vulnerability assessment for fish and invertebrates in the United States South Atlantic large marine ecosystem

This Comprehensive Ecosystem-Based Amendment 2 (CE-BA 2) consists of actions related to management of the octocoral fishery, modification of management of Special Management Zones (SMZs) off South Carolina, modification of sea turtle and smalltooth sawfis...
Final habitat plan for the south Atlantic region: essential fish habitat requirements for fishery management plans of the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council: The shrimp fishery management plan, the red drum fishery management plan, the snapper grouper fishery management plan, the coastal migratory pelagics fishery management plan, the golden crab fishery management plan, the spiny lobster fishery management plan, the coral, coral reefs, and live/hard bottom habitat fishery management plan, the sargassum habitat fishery management plan, and the calico scallop fishery management plan
The intent of this document is to serve as a source document for all species managed by the Council. It also represents an ecological characterization of the south Atlantic region describing essential fish habitat.
