Casco Bay
GIS Habitat
Analysis - Modeling
Type: Extent of habitat (i.e., area of habitat and whether
there has been a decline).
Category: Submerged, Intertidal, Wetland, and Upland
Cost: Information not provided.
Description: Where survey data identifying habitat for individual
species was insufficient to adequately represent habitat, modeling was employed.
Models were based on basic environmental parameters, i.e., landcover, NWI,
bathymetry, and other characteristics specific to individual species.
Outcome: Modeling was a vital component in developing GIS habitat
maps as a tool to predict habitat use by all species included in analysis.
