GeoHab
(Marine Geological and Biological Habitat
Mapping) was established in 2001 to bring
together scientists from around the world working
on the development of new thematic maps linking
acoustic mapping and geological sampling to
marine biology in a Geographical Information
System environment to underpin sustainable ocean
management.
NEW BOOK- "Seafloor Geomorphology
as Benthic Habitat " has
been released and available through Elsevier as of November, 2011.

GeoHab is an
international forum which meets annually and is
designed to:
|
- maintain awareness of
technological developments and survey
standards
- identify existing
metadata sources relevant to marine
habitat mapping
- develop new thematic
maps useful for fisheries management,
biodiversity management, and the
assessment of future Marine Protected
Areas (MPAs)
- encourage
standardization of maps through the
creation of a habitat mapping glossary
and building links to marine mapping
agencies worldwide
- apply and evaluate
habitat classification systems using
real-world examples
