Abstract
The Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) is a state-federal-university program for collection, management, and dessemination of fishery-independent data and information in the southeastern United States. Major activities in the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic include shrimp and groundfish surveys, ichthyoplankton surveys, collection of environmental and benthic data, mapping of live and hard bottom areas, investigations of low-oxygen and other environmental perturbations, and the establishment of a regional, user friendly, data management system that can be accessed by all marine management agencies in the southeastern United States.
