Creating a Gulf-wide strategy for marine habitat conservation

The Habitat Conservation Subcommittee is developing a regional strategy for marine habitat conservation. The subcommittee is also gathering an inventory of existing tools for habitat conservation, such as databases, monitoring programs, maps, and other resources that are available from various organizations. The completed inventory will be made available as a searchable, online database. Click here to suggest tools to be included in the inventory.
