The Pacific Marine and Estuarine Fish Habitat Partnership (PMEP) works with its partners to assess conditions of the estuarine and nearshore environment along the West Coast. In many cases, the group has gathered and synthesized existing data into a singular consensus scheme in order to allow for comparisons across a region or regions. Habitat managers need better information about fish use and habitat condition within these systems in order to make informed decisions.
PMEP will continue to identify key topics needing additional assessment knowledge and will work to create tools and reports that help get this needed information into the hands of restoration practitioners and habitat managers along the West Coast.
