The abundance and distribution of MDBC across the Gulf of Mexico are not completely known, particularly in deeper waters, presenting a challenge to decision-making for restoration, management, and protection. This project would conduct high- resolution mapping efforts<\/span><\/p>

in both mesophotic and deep benthic habitats and use this information to refine predictive models to improve the effectiveness and cost efficiency of future restoration and mapping efforts. This project would also analyze the abundance and distribution of these communities,<\/span><\/p>

as well as provide data on depth ranges, densities, and distributions of specific coral species. The data collected in this project would provide fundamental information to support MDBC protection and management activities.<\/span><\/p><\/div>", "summary": "", "title": "MDBC_DigitalAtlas", "tags": [ "Gulf of Mexico", "Deepwater Horizon", "Mesophotic and Deep BenthicCommunities Restoration" ], "type": "Map Service", "typeKeywords": [ "Data", "Service", "Map Service", "ArcGIS Server" ], "thumbnail": "thumbnail/thumbnail.png", "url": "", "extent": [ [ -100.988626147679, -0.457200084616147 ], [ -66.0987445940877, 56.5776262734339 ] ], "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 1.7976931348623157E308, "spatialReference": "GCS_NAD_1983_2011", "accessInformation": "NOAA", "licenseInfo": "" }
