ecodata is an R data package developed by the Ecosystems Dynamics and
Assessment Branch of the Northeast Fisheries Science Center for use in
State of the Ecosystem (SOE) reporting. SOE reports are high-level
overviews of ecosystem indicator status and trends occurring on the
Northeast Continental Shelf. Unless otherwise stated, data are
representative of specific Ecological Production Units (EPUs), referring
to the Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB), Georges Bank (GB), Gulf of Maine (GOM),
and Scotian Shelf (SS). SOE reports are developed for US Fishery
Management Councils (FMCs), and therefore indicator data for Scotian
Shelf are included when available, but this is not always the case.
Please consult the technical documentation of SOE indicators before using data sets.
The main branch of this repository contains the data used in the most
recently published State of the
Ecosystem
reports (Mid Atlantic and New England reports). Data for use in the
following years report can be found on the dev branch of the
repository. Once the reports are written and the cycle ends this data
will be pulled into the main branch and
released
