Service Description: The main purpose of this data layer is to help inform a periodic review of groundfish essential fish habitat (EFH) off the U.S. West Coast by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Pacific Fisheries Management Council (PFMC). The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA)(16 USC 1801 et seq) defines EFH as “those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity,” and requires Fishery Management Councils (FMCs) to describe and identify EFH in fishery management plans (FMPs). The FMPs should identify EFH based on current distribution, habitat components, historical presence, or other factors; and should also identify habitat requirements at each life stage and research needs. FMPs must evaluate potential adverse impacts from both fishing and non-fishing activities, as well as minimize adverse effects of fishing to the extent practicable. FMPs should also identify habitat areas of particular concern (HAPC) within EFH based on the habitat’s ecological function, sensitivity to human-induced disturbance, rarity, or whether development activities may stress a particular habitat.
