An sf object containing spatial data for the Sea Scallop Survey. The historic (pre-2025) NEFSC Shellfish Strata. The standardized scallop dredge survey has been conducted since 1975 (annually since 1977) and employs a stratified random sampling design. The original NEFSC Shellfish Strata were based primarily on depth and secondarily by latitude, and locations of sampling stations were randomly selected within each stratum prior to each annual cruise.
