Description:
These data depict areas designated as Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (HAPC) for Pacific Coast Groundfish. Groundfish HAPC's include seagrass, canopy kelp, rocky reefs, estuaries, and specified areas of interest. HAPCs based on habitat type may vary in location and extent over time, and are determined by the defining characteristics that are described in detail in Amendment 19. For these reasons, these GIS data are only an approximation of the location of these HAPCs. The areas of interest HAPC are defined by discrete boundaries.
Data Provided By:
Cooperators and funders who contributed to development of these data, include Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, and National Marine Fisheries Service, Northwest Fisheries Science Center, Southwest Fisheries Science Center, Northwest Region, and Southwest Region.
