One of the primary tasks of the Habitat Program is to develop habitat source documents on topics of immediate and broad interest to ASMFC Commissioners that will provide needed information to the states. In this case, Commissioners requested detailed information on the habitat use, threats to habitat, and habitat research needs for all life stages of the ASMFC-managed diadromous species.

Many beaches along the east coast of the United States are eroding, which threatens habitat, property, public infrastructure, and the tourist industry. Loss of sand can be attributed to natural factors such as storms, sea level changes, waves, currents, tides, wind, bathymetry, shoreline geology, sand supply and quality, and sand movement among dunes, beach, and offshore bars.
