Black abalone habitat suitability model for Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary Biogeographic Assessment

The Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) updates and revises the management plans for each of its 13 sanctuaries. This process, which is open to the public, enables each site to revisit the reasons for sanctuary designation and assess whether they are meeting their goals, as well as to set new goals consistent with the mandates of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act. Issues raised by the public during this process are evaluated and a determination is made as to whether they will be incorporated into the updated plan. Many of these issues focus on topics such as the implementation of marine zoning or sanctuary boundary adjustments, both of which require information on the distribution of resources within and around the sanctuary. Recognizing this, ONMS and NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) formalized an agreement to collaborate in the revision process by developing such information through a series of biogeographic assessments conducted in selected sanctuaries. The resulting products are then supplied to sanctuary managers and staff for use in the policy and decision making process. This collaborative effort began along the west coast of the U.S. with the Cordell Bank, Gulf of Farallones, and Monterey Bay national marine sanctuaries, and is herein centered on the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS).

Invertebrate diversity in southern California

This shapefile displays mean invertebrate diversity within 5 minute grid cells.  The Shannon Index of diversity was calculated from Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) invertebrate trawl data.  Data from 426 fisheries independent trawls ranging from 2-215 meters depth were collected during the months of June-August.  The data set contained information for 288 invertebrate species in 426 trawls.  Using ArcGIS, 5 x 5 minute grids were created and mean diversity was calculated for each grid cell containing data.  Gear included a 7.6-m head-rope semi balloon otter trawl with 1.25 cm codend mesh trawled for 5-10 minutes at each station.  For more information on trawl methods, see Allen et al. (1997), and Allen et al. (2003).

1996 Average Monthly Sea Surface Temperature for California

The NOAA/ NASA AVHRR Oceans Pathfinder sea surface temperature data are derived from the 5-channel Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRR) on board the NOAA -7, -9, -11, -14, -16 and -17 polar orbiting satellites. Daily, 8-day and monthly averaged data for both the ascending pass (daytime) and descending pass (nighttime) are available on equal-angle grids of 8192 pixels/360 degrees (nominally referred to as the 4km resolution, 4096 pixels/360 degrees (nominally referred to as the 9km resolution), 2048 pixels/360 degrees (nominally referred to as the 18km resolution), and 720 pixels/360 degrees (nominally referred to as the 54km resolution or 0.5 degree resolution).The monthly averaged daytime data was converted to an ESRI GRID format and the 12 monthly grid files were combined into one annual grid with a attribute field for each month.

RESTORE Sponsored Research Project: Protecting Texas coastlines from potential oil spills in Galveston Bay using drone surveys and maps of a new response effectiveness index

Galveston Bay and the surrounding Texas coast are vulnerable to marine oil spills, from both the high volume of marine commerce through the Galveston Bay ship channel and from offshore oil exploration. The project team will use drone observations and NOAA forecasts to develop technology that seeks to improve manager response decisions to future oil spills in a RESTORE Science funded project from 2023 to 2028.

This dataset includes UAS drone survey video and still imagery data of the ocean surface with corresponding measurements of near-surface ocean currents. Additionally, the following associated data are included: UTM coordinates, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurements of ocean currents within the water column, CTD measurements of temperature and salinity across the water column. The data was collected at Galveston Bay (entrance channel and across the Houston ship channel inside the bay) and Freeport, Texas. This dataset will be collected over 3 initial field-testing periods followed by quarterly surveys and oil spill event-based response surveys. The UAS surveys are stored as .MOV video files and still images (JPG), and the accompanying txt files containing the processed near-surface ocean currents data. Please note that still image files will not be available for every survey. The ADCP measurements are stored as txt files, for each of the east(u), north(v) and vertical(w) components of velocity, along with the magnitude and direction. The temperature and salinity profiles are stored as CSV files. GPS data of the boat location from which some UAS surveys are conducted is stored as csv files.


This dataset is a result of research funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's RESTORE Science Program (ROR - https://ror.org/0042xzm63) under award NA23NOS4510309 to Texas A&M University.

NCCOS Assessment: An Aquaculture Opportunity Atlas for the State of Alaska, 2023-06-01 to 2025-06-31

Geospatial data representing the Aquaculture Opportunity Area (AOA) study developed during 2024 for the State of Alaska. Included in this dataset are: 

(1) Study areas in State of Alaska waters developed based on maximum sea ice coverage, distance from coastal populated places, existing and active aquaculture sites, and the Alaska state water boundary. Ten distinct study areas were identified (Cordova, Craig, Juneau, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Petersburg, Seward, Sitka, Valdez, and Wrangell). 

(2) Suitability modeling results for the ten study areas. Results between each study area should not be compared relative to outputs of another study area, as each study area was run as a discrete model and thus the outputs of the analysis cannot be compared between study areas. 

(3)  Precision siting outputs from the Aquaculture Opportunity Atlas for the State of Alaska. Clusters were identified within each of the ten study areas (Cordova, Craig, Juneau, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Petersburg, Seward, Sitka, Valdez, and Wrangell) for two scenarios: intertidal and subtidal mariculture. 

(4) Final AOA Options for the state of Alaska based on selection of highest ranking polygons from the precision siting outputs for each of the ten study areas for both scenarios.
