The Ecosystem Indicator Partnership (ESIP) was formed by the Gulf of Maine Council to develop indicators for the Gulf of Maine. Activities of ESIP initially center on convening regional practitioners in six indicator areas: coastal development, contaminants and pathogens, eutrophication, aquatic habitat, fisheries and aquaculture, and climate change. The current Indicator Reporting Tool is the initial step towards delivering indicators for the Gulf of Maine.
