The Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS)
In this project we crosswalked 40 existing classification schemes to CMECS and provided crosswalked CMECS maps for a select few schemes/datasets. At the regional scale we applied the classification to The Nature Conservancy’s Benthic Habitat Model from the Northwest Atlantic Marine Ecoregional Assessment (NAMERA) and The National Estuarine Research Reserve System Classification (NERRSC) scheme. All of our methods, results, crosswalks, maps, challenges and recommendations are documented in the final report and supplementary crosswalk table spreadsheet. - See more at: https://www.conservationgateway.org/ConservationByGeography/NorthAmerica/UnitedStates/edc/reportsdata/marine/namera/CMECS/Pages/default.aspx#sthash.9AiQcrwy.dpuf
NAMERA - CMECS Crosswalked Dataset
This dataset reflects the final regional scale CMECS crosswalk results for Northwest Atlantic Marine Ecoregional Assessment's (NAMERA) Benthic Habitat Model. Note: These final crosswalks/maps are results of our attempts at crosswalking NAMERA units to CMECS units and may at times incorrectly map/classify features. Please refer to the final report for crosswalk details, methods and more information on crosswalks and limitations.
