The CAGES program (Comparative Assessment of Gulf Estuarine ecoSystems) is designed to examine the differences between estuarine ecosystems and investigate why some are more productive than others. The program focuses on estuarine areas important to commercial fisheries and includes data on commercial finfish and invertebrate species, as well as other species commonly captured in trawl sampling. The CAGES Relational Database is a compilation of fishery-independent data contributed by natural resource agencies of the Gulf States (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida).

The exhaustive study of the U.S. data holdings pertinent to the formulation of U.S. potential claims of an extended continental shelf under the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) (Mayer, et al., 2002) did not identify this area as one of the regions where new bathymetric surveys are needed. However, the ECS Task Force considered the Mendocino Ridge might be a potential extension for the U.S. The Mayer et al.
