Abstract
Essential Fish Habitat ArcIMS Site with Database
Track: Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries Management
Author(s): Steve Lewis, Jim Noel
This ArcIMS Web site simplifies the process for making informed decisions for Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) by using both spatial and tabular data over the Internet. EFH means "those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity." Shapefiles and tabular datasets were created by previous authors using combinations of catch and observer data and known science. This ArcIMS/MapObjects Web site and database pull the spatial and tabular data together for an easy and powerful tool for the management of EFH. The Web site can be seen at http://mapping.fakr.noaa.gov/website/efhtest.
