<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN><SPAN>The </SPAN></SPAN><A href="http://www.pacificfishhabitat.org/"><SPAN><SPAN>Pacific Marine and Estuarine Fish Habitat Partnership</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN><SPAN>(PMEP), is a nationally recognized partnership that seeks to advance regional and national goals relating to fish habitat. PMEP is a consortium of organizations focused on West Coast fish habitat in the region's estuaries and nearshore marine waters.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN>These data represent nearshore zones and are a part of PMEP's spatial data system. This layer was developed as part of a larger Nearshore Project in order to extend PMEP's current data system into the nearshore. Previously, PMEP’s spatial data system consisted of PMEP’s full scope (i.e., coastal watersheds out to a 200 m depth in marine waters), and included four ecoregions and 444 estuaries across Washington, Oregon, and California. This layer subdivides the marine waters of PMEP’s scope into zones based on depth (-30 m, -100 m, and -200 m or the state boundary line, whichever is deepest) and 18 subregions integrated within four ecoregions. Definitions of the nearshore zones in this dataset are based loosely on Marine Subsytems defined by the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS). </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
