this report presents information on the spatial and temporal distribution, and relative abundance of 61 fish and invertebrate species in 22 estuaries along the U.S. Atlantic coast from Virginia to Massachusetts. Its purpose is to disseminate data developed in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Estuarine Living Marine Resources (ELMR) program (inside front cover). The ELMR program is conducted by the Biogeographic Characterization Branch of the Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) Division, in cooperation with regional research institutions (Figure 1). The presence, distribution, and relative abundance of each species and the time period it utilizes eeach estuary are the primary data compiled. The data and framework presented in this report are illustrative of the nationwide ELMR program.
