What are the high level functional groups applicable globally to assign as silhouttes to these ecosystems?

We'll need species lists for each group in order to extract observations from OBIS. This will be the major task for the Biodiversity Team, per SDG14 Meeting Highlights_Hepner.docx - Google Docs:

Luke McEachron - Lead
Luke McEachron - FKNMS fish
Megan Hepner - FKNMS fish
Monique Messie - MBNMS plankton
Collin Closek - MBNMS Fish
Anni Djurhuus - MBNMS/FKNMS microbial, FK phytoplankton/zooplankton
Jarrod Santora – MBNMS rockfish
Abby Benson - OBIS data
Natalie Sawaya: FKNMS phytoplankton/zooplankton

Ecosystems:

Beach
Coral Reefs
Deep Hard Bottom
Deep Soft Benthic
Deep Waters
Hard Shelf
Hard Slope
Intertidal Mud
Kelp
Mangroves
Rocky Intertidal
Rocky Reef
Salt Marsh
Seagrass
Seamounts
Soft Shelf
Soft Slope
Sub-tidal Soft Bottom
Surface Waters
Suspension-Feeder Reef

Potential biological groupings from Sea Around Us: (http://www.seaaroundus.org/data/#/spatial-catch)

Small pelagics
medium pelagics
large pelagics
medium demersals
large demersals
medium benthopelagics
large benthopelagics
other demersal invertebrates
cephalopods
shrimps
others

Potential biological groupings from AquaMaps: (http://www.aquamaps.org/)

sharks and rays
bony fish

Suggestion from Gabrielle Canonico gabrielle.canonico@noaa.gov to consider applying the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS), particularly the Biotic Component:
