ESIP is excited to announce the release of the third fact sheet in our series of seven indicator-specific fact sheets. Through the combined efforts of the aquatic habitats subcommittee, data providers, design team and ESIP Steering Committee, we've completed the Aquatic Habitats Fact Sheet.

The fact sheet provides an introduction to the aquatic habitats indicators selected by ESIP – eelgrass, salt marsh, and tidal restrictions- along with a snap shot of the indicator data.

The long-term goal of ESIP is to provide Web-based access to synthesized monitoring data collected in the Gulf of Maine and its watershed. Numerous government agencies and non-government organizations conduct monitoring programs in the region. The purpose of the ESIP Monitoring Map is to provide information regarding where monitoring programs exist in the Gulf of Maine.
