NOAA's Web Service for the New York Offshore Biogeographic Assessment

This web service provides key ecological data layers in the New York Bight via the Internet and which can be loaded into client side GIS software. The web service includes spatial data for seabirds, deep sea corals, bathymetry and surficial sediments. These diverse data were requested by the New York Department of State to support offshore spatial planning. To the extent possible data is provided at the finest spatial scales survey data will support and use predictive spatial models to translate survey data into seamless data coverages.
