Recommendations for Conducting Fish Habitat Assessments in Tidal Waters of the Chesapeake Bay
Subject matter experts were consulted through two virtual meetings in October 2020 to provide feedback on the (tidal fish habitat assessment) pilot framework structure: the types of data to apply to the framework, methods to integrate various datasets into the framework, and the types of analysis feasible to conduct using the framework. A robust set of read-ahead materials was developed and delivered to participants prior to the meetings. During the workshops, a large amount of feedback was offered and catalogued.
