This layer package (.lpk) contains raster layers (.tif) and associated metadata (.xml) for spatially explicit maps of average summertime benthic species diversity, assemblage biomass (kg per 100 square meters), and economic value ($ per 100sq meters) along the Gulf of Maine coastal shelf. These maps were derived by McHenry et al. 2016-- a study that aimed 1) to characterize the distribution and abundance of benthic megafauna with respect to near-shore abiotic conditions, 2) to develop spatially-explicit maps of ecological attributes of near-shore benthic assemblages, and 3) to use such maps to inform the application of ecological principles when engaging in marine spatial planning. See McHenry et al. 2016 for a full description the survey a...
