- Abstract
- The objective of this Community Profile is to summarize available data on the ecology of the live bottom communities of the northeastern Gulf of Mexico between the Mississippi River Delta and Cape San Bias (Fig. 1.1). The study area extends from the coastline (excluding embayments) to approximately the 200 m (656 ft) isobath. Community profiles help develop a picture of living biological resources and serve as a reference for both research and resource management interest.
