        abstract:  Fisheries-independent catch and effort data from Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) Reef Fish Surveys (from 1995 to 2017) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) Bottom Longline Surveys (from 2001 to 2018) are used to map the occurrence of gag grouper (Mycteroperca microlepis) in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The final summary is represented as a point layer. The layer attributes include the longitude (LON) and latitude (LAT) of each station, the presence or absence (OCCURRENCE) of the species and the survey (SURVEY) during which it was taken. The surveys encounter primarily adult fish, but may represent some juvenile fish as well.
        purpose:  To display the presence (positive occurrence) or absence (no occurrence)of gag grouper found during multiple years of SEAMAP and NMFS SEFSC fisheries independent surveys.

Resource surveys began in the Gulf of Mexico in 1982. These surveys, which collect a variety of biological and environmental information, currently include Summer and Fall Groundfish Surveys; Winter, Spring, and Fall Plankton Surveys; a Reef Fish Survey; a Vertical Longline Survey; and an Inshore Bottom Longline Survey.

                description:  The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC), Mississippi Laboratories (MSLABS), Resource Survey Division conducts fishery-independent resource surveys throughout the southeast region of the United States. The primary goal of these surveys is to monitor the abundance, distribution, and health of living marine resources and their habitats. The NMFS SEFSC Bottom Longline surveys typically covers the continental shelf from Brownsville, TX to the Dry Tortugas in depths ranging from 9 to 360 meters. The survey collects a variety of biological and environmental information. Data are available upon request.
