Service Description: Pacific Marine and Estuarine Fish Habitat Partnership (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. These data represent the Substrate Component (SC) of the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) out to deepest edge of available data of the West Coast of the contiguous United States. The SC is organized into a branched hierarchy of five nested levels: substrate origin, substrate class, substrate subclass, substrate group, and substrate subgroup. Groups and subgroups of the SC are determined by the dominant substrate (defined as the most abundant in terms of percent cover). This is a data compilation; we cross-walked attributes from 70 datasets into CMECS SC ecological units.. These classifications were applied to Nearshore Zones currently part of the Pacific Marine and Estuarine Fish Habitat Partnership’s (PMEP) spatial data system, within the “West Coast USA Nearshore Zones” (PMEP) layer. For full documentation of CMECS, see https://coast.noaa.gov/data/digitalcoast/pdf/cmecs.pdf. Vers. 2.1, Last Updated June 2025.
