Description
This one-of-a-kind volume is a handy overview of marine habitat mapping technologies that can be used in Alaska. Benthic habitat mapping combines large-scale seafloor characterization with small-scale surveys that match species with habitat. A product of the Marine Habitat Mapping Technology Workshop for Alaska (April 2007), this CD has 17 papers written by international experts. With nearly 100 high-resolution visuals, the publication is geared to the broad community in marine resource management as well as researchers and technicians who need mapping knowledge, in Alaska and worldwide. See table of contents below for links to individual chapters.
Published for the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB).
