Geohab 2004 Meeting - Dept. of Earth & Ocean Sciences, NUI, Galway

2004 Meeting in Galway, I reland

Wednesday, May 5th to Friday, May 7th, 2004

GeoHAB (Marine Geological Habitat Mapping) was established in 2001 to bring together scientists from around the world working on the development of new thematic maps linking acoustic mapping and geological sampling to marine biology in a Geographical Information System environment to underpin sustainable ocean management.

GeoHAB is an international forum which meets annually and is designed to:   

• Maintain awareness of technological developments and survey standards
• Identify existing metadata sources relevant to marine habitat mapping
• Develop new thematic maps useful for fisheries management, biodiversity management, and the assessment of future Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
• Encourage standardization of maps through the creation of a habitat mapping glossary and building links to marine mapping agencies worldwide
• Apply and evaluate habitat classification systems using real-world examples
