Use of Estuarine, Intertidal, and Subtidal Habitats by Seabirds, California South Coast MPA Baseline Study, 2011 to 2013

Seabirds are long-lived, upper trophic level predators that are integral components of marine ecosystems. During the breeding season, seabirds are central place foragers and must return to their nests to incubate eggs and provision young throughout the day.  As such, they have limited foraging ranges during that time and will benefit from protected areas within these ranges. Marine protected areas (MPAs) can provide both direct and indirect benefits to seabirds.  Direct benefits involve reducing the direct interactions seabirds have with humans like incidental take and gear entanglement as well as human- caused disturbance to breeding and roosting sites.  Indirect benefits involve reducing competition with humans for prey resources.  Many coastally breeding seabirds rely on juvenile age classes of fished species. Decreases in adult fish catch can lead to increased spawning biomass and, thus, more seabird prey. Herein, we summarize the results of baseline seabird monitoring within the South Coast Study Region (SCSR) of California’s Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative in 2012-2013.  The long-term objectives of our monitoring are to 1) document how seabirds are using coastal and nearshore habitats in relation to newly established MPAs and 2) develop seabirds as indicators to study the processes (e.g., recruitment) impacting change resulting from MPA establishment, including changes in nearshore fish and invertebrate populations and human use patterns that can impact seabirds.

Funding for baseline monitoring was provided by SeaGrant, Project Number R/MPA-28 (Grant No. MPA 10-049).

Nearshore Substrate Mapping Change Analysis using Multispectral Imagery, California South Coast MPA Baseline Study, 2011 to 2012

Three remote sensing datasets were utilized to create the final substrate map products: 1) 4-banded imagery collected in June, October and November of 2012 by Keystone Aerial Mapping with its Microsoft UltraCam-X (used for 2012 intertidal and kelp mapping); 2) 4-banded imagery collected in December of 2011 by Ocean Imaging using its DMSC MK II sensor (used for 2011 kelp mapping); 3) Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) topographic data collected by Fugro Earth Data in March, 2010. The LiDAR dataset (providing high resolution topographical data of the intertidal zone) proved to be less useful for intertidal zone delineation than for the North Central California Coast (NCC). This was due to data format issues and some obvious errors in the SCR dataset in the lower intertidal to subtidal zones. However, the LiDAR dataset was used whenever possible. Field data and photographs collected for this project between 2013-2014 were also utilized to divide the terrestrial, intertidal and subtidal areas into subzones helping to create subzone-specific training sets used in the supervised classification procedure. Each subzone classification was then manually edited in order to ensure the highest accuracy product possible, and then mosaicked together into subregions of the overall SCR. The habitat classes this process confidently identified and mapped using the multispectral imagery for the sub/intertidal zones were:

1 - Whitewash/Undefined
2 - Water
3 - Sandy Beach
4 - Mixed Red/Brown Algae
5 - Shadow
6 - Terrestrial Vegetation
7 - Unvegetated Rock
8 - Beach Wrack
9 - Kelp/Brown Algae
10 - Blue-Green Algae
11 - Mixed Rock/Mussels/Barnacles/Anemone
12 - Cobble
13 - Man-made/Artificial
14 - Driftwood
15 - Surf Grass
17 - Eel Grass
21 - Green Algae
22 - Submerged Sandy Bottom
23 - Submerged Rock/Reef
24 - Deep Water

Citizen Scientist Monitoring of Rocky Reefs and Kelp Forests, California North Coast MPA Baseline Study, 2014 to 2016

RCCA volunteer citizen scientists conducted 18 visual scuba transects at each monitoring site to survey densities and sizes of ecologically and economically important fish, invertebrate and algal species and to characterize the physical habitats. Transects were 30-meters long and 2-meters wide swaths above the rocky reef substrate. Divers counted and sized key species of fish (35 species), counted invertebrates (33 species) and algae (9 species), and estimated the percent cover of substrate types and vertical relief of the seafloor. Over the baseline monitoring of 2014-2015, RCCA conducted 18 surveys at eight monitoring sites in the NCSR. Three of these sites have been surveyed since 2007. The data from these surveys were analyzed at multiple scales to provide baseline characterization of the kelp forest ecosystems at the time of MPA implementation. We characterized the biological community at the RCCA monitoring sites by summarizing the physical and biological characteristics of each of the sites. These summaries will serve as a reference point in the future as long-term monitoring continues.

Citizen Scientist Monitoring of Rocky Reefs and Kelp Forests, California South Coast MPA Baseline Study, 2011 to 2012

Reef Check California has surveyed rocky reefs and kelp forests in southern California since 2006 and has up to nine years of data from the MLPA South Coast Study Region (SCSR). The goal of this baseline monitoring project is to quantify key attributes of species, populations, communities and habitat variables that constitute representative kelp forest ecosystems within and outside of many of the MPAs in the South Coast Study Region. The sampling design, selected response variables (i.e. key species) and analytical approaches are intended to provide scientists, managers, stakeholders and policymakers with a baseline for future assessment of the effectiveness of the SCSR MPAs. Further, the outcomes from this study will also provide recommendations for long-term monitoring metrics and cost-effective survey protocols for the SCSR. Specific objectives are:

1. Provide a quantitative baseline characterization of the rocky reef and kelp forest ecosystem feature inside and outside of MPAs in the SCSR.
2. Provide pre-MPA implementation data and historical context to ongoing data collection by analyzing RCCA’s existing dataset in the context of the new MPAs.
3. Explore the baseline characterizations for potential indicators of the state of the kelp forest ecosystem (i.e. ecosystem indicators) and make recommendations for long-term monitoring.
4. Build capacity for cost-effective, long-term MPA monitoring through the continued involvement of community members in the monitoring of MPAs.
5. Expand existing public online data dissemination and illustration tool (NED) to inform managers, stakeholders, policymakers and the public about the status of the marine environment in the SCSR.

California MPA Education and Outreach Needs Assessment Report

This report focuses on the education and outreach aspects of the partnership approach. As with any  effective management team in any organization, constant evaluation, assessment, and  refinement  comprise a critical part of strategic planning. A needs assessment is a valuable methodology to detect discrepancies between expectations and current offerings, allowing identification of  priority needs, problems, and opportunities to fill key gaps. To this end, the California Ocean Protection Council (OPC), California  Department  of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), the MPA Statewide 
Leadership Team, and  the California Marine Sanctuary Foundation  (CMSF) embarked upon a needs  assessment to  shed light on MPA education and
outreach and develop strategies to overcome and resolve key issues across the state.

Cal-SIMETAW Unit Values

_Cal-SIMETAW Unit Values_ dataset contains cumulative monthly unit values (per acre) of crop evapotranspiration (ETc), applied water (AW), and six other parameters for the period 2000 – 2015. 
Monthly unit values are reported for 20 crops and four non-agricultural land use categories in each Detailed Analysis Unit by County (DAUCo) in California. ETc reflects a well-watered, non-stressed plant condition, and is calculated as the product of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and the crop coefficient (Kc). Computed ETc is sensitive to assumptions about Kc and growth dates. Those assumptions can be reviewed in the LUCI files for each DAUCo.
**Suggested Application**: Unit values from the overlying DAUCo can be multiplied by land use acreages to compute total ETc or AW for a given study area, which can be used in a water budget or other planning analysis.
