25 NEFSC Seasonal Bottom Trawl Survey MA WEA and Benthic Survey 2014 Warm Season (Fall) Trawls: 81 taxa, 33 managed Cold Season (Winter Spring) Trawls: 71 taxa, 31 managed Some dominant in weight, some in numbers, some in frequency, some in all three categories Also, 151 taxa of benthic infauna from grab samples, and 58 taxa of benthic epifauna from beam trawls Which are most vulnerable to disturbance from Offshore Wind Development?
26 Some Criteria for Vulnerability Consideration: 1. Managed species: there is no mandate to protect nonmanaged species on an individual basis unless perhaps they are proven to be essential for ecosystem integrity, AND 2. Species that are habitat-limited by relatively rare habitat types (e.g. highly structured bottom types), OR 3. Species with a life stage that is immobile or nearly so: mobile species can move out of the way, AND 4. Species that are habitat engineers, creating habitats for managed species.
27 List of Species Meeting these Criteria 1. Atlantic cod (cold season) Habitat-Limited by relatively rare rock-boulder-cobble habitat 2. Black sea bass (warm season) Habitat-Limited by relatively rare structured bottom 3. Shellfish (year-round) Relatively immobile: Atlantic surfclam, Ocean quahog, Atlantic sea scallop 4. Longfin squid (warm season) Egg mops are immobile.

39 Suggested Questions-Discussion 1. Should we be concerned with other groups of organisms, e.g. non-managed or mobile species? 2. Should we be concerned with species present that are outside of their curren EFH footprints? 3. Your questions..
