The Ecosystem Indicator Partnership (ESIP) is a committee of the Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment. ESIP is developing indicators for the Gulf of Maine and integrating regional data for a new Web-based reporting system for marine ecosystem monitoring. Activities of ESIP initially center on convening regional practitioners in six indicator areas: coastal development, contaminants and pathogens, eutrophication, aquatic habitat, fisheries and aquaculture, and climate change. |

ESIP is excited to announce the release of the fourth fact sheet in our series of seven indicator-specific fact sheets. Through the combined efforts of the eutrophication subcommittee, data providers, design team and ESIP Steering Committee, we’ve completed the Eutrophication Fact Sheet.

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 ESIP Steering Committee is pleased to announce the release of the
first ESIP fact sheet. This initial fact sheet contains information on
the selected indicators and both of our webtools. Many individuals
assisted with the production of this document and we’re thankful for all
of the effort and time dedicated by our ESIP team. If you would like to
