To support the Nature Conservancy in extending their Pacific Northwest Coast (PNWC) ecoregional assessment into the offshore waters, Allison investigated the utility of National Marine Fisheries Service’s (NMFS) groundfish trawl survey data as input into the TNC’s conservation planning and prioritization process. She evaluated appropriate spatial scales and multiple metrics for input into MARXAN, one of TNC’s conservation modeling tools.
