The Gulf of Maine Habitat Mapping Project used occurrence information and species/habitat models to map potential
habitat for 64 species of primary concern to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These include migratory birds,
anadromous and estuarine fishes, and threatened or endangered species. The habitat models are based on
published literature, agency reports, and knowledge of experts working with the species. Environmental data sets, such as
elevations, were used in identifying suitable habitats for certain of the species.

Description:
Abstract:
Elevations were mapped for the Gulf of Maine, using available coverages and reports.
For details see the narrative: elevation_information
Purpose:
This grid is one of the components used to map habitat suitability for wildlife in the Gulf of Maine.
The information will be used to identify valuable areas for conservation, protection and enhancement of fish and wildlife
habitat.
