| 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. |
| 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
All information concerning GeoHab
2008 in Sitka, Alaska, will be available
on geohab.org.
Geohab.org will become the sole
internet source of GeoHab information. At the
moment, past conference proceedings are available
on the GeoHab website hosted by the Norwegian
Geological Survey . This
material will be transferred to geohab.org in
2007-2008.
