From: Critical assessment and ramifications of a purported marine trophic cascade
ArcGIS map of the U.S. Atlantic coast and plots of relative abundances of cownose rays (black lines) in the Delaware Bay, DE and Pamlico Sound, NC trawl surveys compared to landings data (colored lines) for bay scallop and eastern oyster from the Mid-Atlantic and northeast U.S. Atlantic coast for all available years (National Marine Fisheries Service landings).
Line colors match the colors of the corresponding state/region on the map. The cross-hatched area delineates the core range of cownose rays in the region. Data on cownose ray abundance are from Heithaus et al.11.
