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.
