Status
NROC’s Coastal Vegetation Workgroup identifies new or updated data that will improve existing data products and data/information gaps that hinder understanding of important habitats and limit decision making. They advance data development or data collection for those defined gaps, discuss research, assessments, and models that are being advanced by any of the member participants, and integrate relevant research and information into the Northeast Ocean Data Portal.
