Project Description
This activity will synthesize available information on movement and habitat usage of Open Ocean resources and stressors affecting these resources. Examination of the overlap between stressors and resources will help identify locations where stressor reduction projects may have greater impact, and serve as a baseline against which the Trustee Implementation Group's stressor reduction work may be evaluated. Additionally, this activity will identify gaps in stressor, animal movement, and habitat usage data and make recommendations for data collection.
