Overview

ecodata is an R data package developed by the Ecosystems Dynamics and Assessment Branch of the Northeast Fisheries Science Center for use in State of the Ecosystem (SOE) reporting. SOE reports are high-level overviews of ecosystem indicator status and trends occurring on the Northeast Continental Shelf. Unless otherwise stated, data are representative of specific Ecological Production Units (EPUs), referring to the Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB), Georges Bank (GB), Gulf of Maine (GOM), and Scotian Shelf (SS). SOE reports are developed for US Fishery Management Councils (FMCs), and therefore indicator data for Scotian Shelf are included when available, but this is not always the case.

Please consult the technical documentation of SOE indicators before using data sets.

The main branch of this repository contains the data used in the most recently published State of the Ecosystem reports (Mid Atlantic and New England reports). Data for use in the following years report can be found on the dev branch of the repository. Once the reports are written and the cycle ends this data will be pulled into the main branch and released
