Abstract:
"The Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) is a State-Federal program for the collection, management and dissemination of fishery-independent data (data that does not depend on reporting by the fishing industries) in the Southeastern U.S." The data set contains miscellaneous descriptive seabed data obtained by varied systems in many surveys to various degrees of accuracy.
