Service Description: This layer represents an overlay of Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) polygons for all 39 species under Federal management in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. It was developed for general visualization and informational purposes only and does not necessarily represent the most important habitats.
EFH is defined as those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity (16 U.S.C. 1802(10)). Waters include aquatic areas and their associated physical, chemical, and biological properties that are used by fish and may include aquatic areas historically used by fish where appropriate; substrate includes sediment, hard bottom, structures underlying the waters, and associated biological communities; necessary means the habitat required to support a sustainable fishery and the managed species' contribution to a healthy ecosystem; and spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity covers a species' full life cycle. See the NOAA Essential Fish Habitat Mapper for more information and for maps of individual species.
