From historical data, we expected to see water temperatures of 10°C (50°F) or less and salinities of about 33 parts per thousand throughout the water column. However, the majority of the water over the continental shelf north of Cape Hatteras was 16°C or warmer (61°F). Atlantic Bight (MAB) continental shelf are well known; however, spe-cies occupying hard-bottom habitats, particularly on the outer shelf, are poorly documented. Reef-like habi-tats are relatively uncommon on the MAB shelf; therefore, shipwrecks may represent a significant habi-tat resource.
