Currently, NASC from the Echoview exports are integrated for the entire water column. When impute_region_ids=True in the consolidate_echoview_nasc function (and the default behavior of EchoPro), the first indexed region name is assigned to all of the NASC values in the water column, thus homogenizing them. When impute_region_ids=False, this is not the case; however, it is unclear whether multiple regions per interval would function as expected with downstream functions. So the downstream code needs to be validated to test this.
