- Abstract:
- Essential Fish Habitiat (EFH) that is judged to be particularly
important to the long-term productivity of populations of one or more
managed species, or to be particularly vulnerable to degradation,
should be identified as "habitat areas of particular concern" (HAPC)
to help provide additional focus for conservation efforts. As a result
of the Sustainable Fisheries Act Amendment to the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management Act in 1996 the Councils and the
NMFS have been mandated to use an ecosystem approach in managing the
Nation's Fisheries. The Council has taken the first step with the
approval of the Habitat Plan identifying and describing in detail
essential fish habitat (EFH) for species managed throughout the South
Atlantic and with the approval of the Comprehensive Habitat Amendment
amending all existing FMPs to include descriptions of EFH and EFH-habitat
areas of particular concern (EFH-HAPCs).
- Purpose:
- The spatial representation of areas which for spiny lobster ranked
high in terms of ecological function, sensitivity, probability of
stressor introduction, and/or criteria established for designation
of Essential Fish Habitat-Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (EFH-HAPC).
This layer is not considered complete at this date. We anticpate enhancing
this file, as more data becomes available.

- Supplemental_Information:
- Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute
(FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI).
The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or
references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute.
The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research,
new research, and contact information.
