FCMA - EFH Maps

The NMFS is developing a composite of EFH maps on a computer database for every species covered in an FMP.  In developing the EFH maps, NMFS has relied to some extent on the data from MMS' cooperative Gulf-Wide Information System (G-WIS).  As these and other maps become officially available, MMS plans to incorporate these data layers in its Technical Information Management System (TIMS).   This will serve as a common data reference for MMS analysts addressing fisheries issues.
