PMEP is a consortium of organizations focused on West Coast fish habitat in the region's estuaries and nearshore marine waters.This layer represents estuaries, as points, in the Pacific Marine and Estuarine Fish Habitat Partnerships (PMEP) spatial data system. Currently, there are 444 estuaries present in this layer, with attributes describing the presence of eelgrass in each estuary.

Esri Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. Shape Feature geometry. Esri Coordinates defining the features. Estuary_Name The name of the estuary. Values in this field were generally obtained from the names in the “An Inventory and Classification of U.S. West Coast Estuaries” (Heady, et. al, 2014), although there are exceptions. Estuaries added to the PMEP estuary list utilized official or commonly used estuary names, the name of the major river or creek connecting with the estuary, or used local landmarks in the absence of another name source. PMEP System_Order This field links PMEP estuaries to the foundational report titled, "Nursery Functions of U.S. West Coast Estuaries: The State of Knowledge for Juveniles of Focal Invertebrate and Fish Species" (Hughes et al 2014). Note that some values repeat (estuaries were split), some values are NULL (estuaries added to PMEP's list since the report). Values range from 1 (San Juan Islands and Georgia Strait Basin) to 303 (Tijuana River estuary). Link to Report: http://research.pbsci.ucsc.edu/eeb/bbhughes/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Hughes_etal_2014_NurseryFunction_TNC.pdf Longitude Longitude Latitude Latitude Link PMEP_Region The PMEP Region (or ecoregion) which the estuary is located in. These areas were originally based on a dataset from The Nature Conservancy called "Marine Ecoregions of the World" (MEOW), but were refined based on the needs of PMEP. PMEP EelgrassStatus Status of eelgrass in estuary (present, present (no extent data), absence/unsuitable habitat, or no data) PMEP EelgrassSource Eelgrass extent datasource brief citation used in the maximum known extent dataset. PMEP HabChange Any notes related to eelgrass habitat change (from data sources) for the estuary. PMEP Notes Other notes from the source data related to eelgrass in the estuary. PMEP Current_DataYr Year in which most current eelgrass extent data were collected. PMEP OtherYears Other years data were collected showing the extent of eelgrass within the estuary. PMEP DatasetCount Count of eelgrass extent datasets within the estuary. PMEP Current_Acres Current acres of eelgrass within an estuary based on data collected in the most current year. PMEP Zm Status of Zostera marina in the estuary. PMEP Zj Status of Zostera japonica in the estuary. PMEP Zp Status of Zostera pacific in the estuary. PMEP MaxObs_Acres Maximum observed acres of eelgrass within the estuary. This is calculated from the maximum observed extent of all data collected for eelgrass within an estuary. PMEP CurrentAcres_Source Data or information source for information about current acres of eelgrass. PMEP_EstuaryID Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission PSMFC GIS mailing and physical
