6 years ago We've pretty much decided on which habitats, but this is very good to know. Oysters won't be easy, but seagrass/saltmarsh/mangroves/corals/flats are our top priorities for the Azure/NSF/NERRS projects.

Here is my semi-comprehensive list in order of overall interest as I percieved it communicated from the room. @cjrmbon https://github.com/cjrmbon : please jump in here if you feel I missed or mis-noted something. most important habitats to map
Roughly in order of priority (although very muddy in the middle)
- oysters (both extent & quality/health)
- seagrass / SAV
- saltmarsh / tidal flats,
- mangrove,
- corals,
- tidal flats,
- hardbottom (extent, relief, rugosity, quality, z-field),
- frontal zones,
- beach dunes
- elevation / z-field,
- artificial habitats (non-restorable areas)
- sand resources (benthic infauna)
- barrier island morphology
- sargassum
note on SAV vs seagrass:
- SAV is a broader group including seagrass
- SAV is difficult to see
@mjm8 https://github.com/mjm8 : I remember FMK mentioning seagrass, but I didn't follow up on that discussion. If we are past the stage of deciding which habitats to map let's close this now before I steer us off on an unproductive tangent.

I am not certain how firmly set the habitat classes we plan to map are at this point, but as I am currently sitting in a GoMA discussion on "priority habitats to map", I wanted to document the priorities of this community.
