| A Seafloor Mapping Workshop sponsored by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) will be held March 23 at the John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse in Boston. CZM will share results of completed and ongoing seafloor mapping and habitat studies in Massachusetts, discuss approaches to apply seafloor mapping data to management and research initiatives and identify needs of the management community to make seafloor mapping and study data useful in facilitating coastal and ocean management. The workshop will demonstrate the importance of the maps to improve understanding of the geologic framework, habitat character and management of the seafloor.
