Summary

...."The Gulf of Maine Habitat Primer provides an overview of habitat characteristics, ecological functions, economic and recreational values, and management considerations."; "This primer is the first part of a process to determine: 1) habitat types and their ecological relationships, 2) activities impacting marine habitat, 3) the state of the science in understanding these impacts, and 4) management options for addressing the impacts. The project will culminate in Gulf of Maine marine habitat conservation strategies with findings and recommendations regarding science, policy, and management approaches."; chapters include: PHYSICAL HABITAT (Rocky Habitats, Sandy Habitats, Muddy Habitats, Water Column) // BIOGENIC HABITATS (Salt Marshes, Seagrass Beds, Kelp Beds, Shellfish Beds, Cold-water Corals) // HABITATS FORMED BY HUMAN ACTIVITY (Invasive Habitats, Fouling Communities)....
