The
South Atlantic Bight includes the offshore waters between North Carolina and Florida. This highly populated area (over 15 million people) is known for very diverse ecosystems, from coral reefs to saltmarshes. These systems provide the foundation for thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in economic impacts generated every year by the fishing, tourism, shipping, energy, and defense industries.
- The
South Atlantic Bight Marine Assessment (SABMA) covers the coastal and offshore waters between the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay to the Florida Keys. This assessment built on decades of marine research and data collection to improve our understanding of critical habitats and their relationship with key species and oceanographic properties.
