Summary
This folder contains data contributed to the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) Data System by the Atlantic Coastal Fish Habitat Partnership (ACFHP). The ACFHP was recognized as a partner of NFHP in March 2009.
The geographic extent of the ACFHP stretches from Maine to the Florida Keys, including all or part of 16 States. It covers 476,357 square miles, including land areas inland to the headwaters of coastal rivers, and ocean areas outward to the continental slope. The ACFHP plans to work throughout the region, but will focus on estuarine environments and place less emphasis on coastal headwaters and offshore marine ecosystems.
