        abstract:  Fishery-independent data from the Federal/State/University cooperative Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) and the National Marine Fisheries Service Southeast Fisheries Science Center were used to generate maps of station locations, sampling effort and distribution and abundance of selected fish, shark and invertebrate species. The map layers for each species were summarized from SEAMAP Fall Plankton (1986-2016), SEAMAP Summer and Fall Bottom Trawl (1987-2018), SEAMAP Reef Fish Video (1995-2017) and NMFS Bottom Longline (2001-2018) surveys. Species specific information may be documented for a single or multiple surveys dependent upon available data.
        purpose:  To provide maps visualizing species occurrence, distribution and abundance information for selected species of fish, sharks and invertebrates to support outreach, research and the management of living marine resources.
