Top 25 highest opportunity marine ecoregions for development of shellfish aquaculture from the restorative aquaculture opportunity analysis scenario where all environmental, socioeconomic, and human health factors are incorporated.

The ‘Overall Composite Score’ represents the sum of the suitability scores for each factor included within the scenario multiplied by its associated weight (Table 2). For each marine ecoregion, the adjacent continent, average composite environmental, socioeconomic, and human health suitability scores, and overall composite suitability scores are presented. Dashes indicate factors for which data is unavailable for a given marine ecoregion. Data indicating full composite scores for all marine ecoregions are provided in S1 Data.
