title: Final technical report - Baseline surveys of central California marine protected areas from 2007-2009: Quick-look report submitted to the California Ocean Protection Council

description: On September 21, 2007, 29 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) were established along the central California coast from Pigeon Point to Point Conception. The 1999 Marine Life Protection Act that led to the formation of the new MPAs specifically required California MPAs to be monitored and evaluated. In preparation for this requirement, in the winter and spring of 2007 we conducted a series of five workshops with fisheries scientists and the fishing communities of Half Moon Bay, Monterey, Morro Bay, and Port San Luis, California to develop protocols for monitoring MPAs using hook-and-line fishing gear. In the summers and falls of 2007, 2008, and 2009 we used the protocols developed at the workshops to collect information about species composition, catch rates, and sizes of nearshore fishes in the Año Nuevo, Point Lobos, Piedras Blancas, and Point Buchon State Marine Reserves (MPAs), and corresponding reference (REF) sites. In 2008, we conducted additional workshops with members of the live-fish fishery to develop protocols for monitoring MPAs using trap fishing gear. Trap fishing protocols were used in 2008 to assess the Año Nuevo, Point Lobos, Piedras Blancas, and Cambria MPAs and REF sites. In 2009, trap sampling occurred in the Point Lobos, Piedras Blancas, and Cambria MPAs. Using hook-and-line survey methods, we completed 47 surveys in the fall of 2007, 48 surveys in the summer and fall of 2008, and 24 fishing trips in the summer and fall of 2009 in the Año Nuevo, Point Lobos, Piedras Blancas and Point Buchon MPA and REF sites, for a total of 115 hook-and-line fishing surveys from 2007 – 2009. Using trap survey techniques, we completed 43 fishing trips in 2008 and 25 trips in 2009, for a total of 68 sampling trips from 2008 – 2009 in the Año Nuevo, Point Lobos, Cambria, and Piedras Blancas MPA and REF sites (Table 1). During these surveys, all caught fishes were identified, measured, tagged with external T-bar anchor tags with individual identification numbers (if deemed able to sustain handling and tagging), and released at location of capture. To date we have worked with a total of 12 Commercial Passenger Fishing Vessels (CPFVs), 4 commercial trap-fishing vessels, and 415 volunteer anglers, who spent a total of 1,121 hours hook-and-line fishing, and 3,445 hours trapping. This combined effort resulted in a total catch of 26,262 fishes comprised of 42 species, and a total of 22,551 fishes released with tags. After each field sampling season, we held workshops in Morro Bay, Moss Landing, and Half Moon Bay to describe the results of the fieldwork, encourage project feedback, and receive suggestions from the fishing community. Each year, a total of about 40 people from the fishing community reviewed the data at these meetings. We also produced and distributed the following project summary.

title: Final technical report - Socioeconomic baseline data collection, resource use mapping, and rapid social appraisal

description: This is the final technical report for the Central Coast MPA Socioeconomic Baseline Data Collection Project. The project has been undertaken for California Sea Grant as one element of a multi-disciplinary research and monitoring program designed to advance the prospective benefits of California’s Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA). The MLPA Initiative is being administered collaboratively by the California Coastal Conservancy, the Ocean Protection Council, California Department of Fish and Game, and the California Sea Grant Program. Information resulting from this and related biophysical research projects will be used to assess and monitor a wide range of human, marine biological, and physical oceanographic effects and outcomes associated with the recent establishment of a network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) along the Central Coast of California. The project reviewed in this report is focused especially on pertinent human dimensions of this new network of MPAs. Emphasis is applied to description and analysis of human activities that are most likely to: (1) affect the marine environment in and around the new MPAs, and (2) be affected by MPA-specific regulations. Commercial fishing, various forms of marine-based recreation, and the people who engage in these activities along the Central Coast are, therefore, the natural subjects of focus throughout this report. This report draws from the large socioeconomic database that has been compiled during the course of the project to provide:a) Detailed description of long-term trends and current conditions in commercial and non-consumptive marine industries and activities along the Central Coast;b) In-depth discussion of the range of physical-environmental, economic, and regulatory challenges encountered by the participants over time, and the strategies typically undertaken to meet them;c) Spatial and narrative analysis of the implications of these processes for marine resources and resource user groups across the region, with special attention to MPA-induced changes that have thus far been observed or reported among those groups; andd) A methodological template and set of indicators useful for monitoring the long-term biological and socioeconomic effects of MPAs established through the MLPA throughout the Central Coast and elsewhere in California.As summarized in this report, primary source data collection, compilation of archival data, data analysis, narrative description and explanation, and initial development of a practical monitoring framework have been completed for purposes of this project by Impact Assessment, Inc. (IAI). IAI is a research firm specializing in human dimensions research and analysis of marine fisheries and related social and economic factors and processes around the coastal zone of the United States and abroad.

title: Final technical report - monitoring MPAs by SCUBA in waters off Central California

description: In September 2007, upon implementation of the first Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) MPA network on the central California coast (Pigeon Point to Point Conception), and with funding from the California Ocean Protection Council administered by California Sea Grant, the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) initiated base-line surveys to monitor these MPAs. Of the 29 MPAs established in the Central Coast Study Region (CCSR), 17 MPAs contain kelp and 14 can be safely sampled using SCUBA.The baseline surveys focused on both subtidal and intertidal systems for the central coast, characterizing ecosystem attributes such as biodiversity, community structure, and population abundance and size structure. Baseline surveys were conducted in both 2007 and 2008. By monitoring these ecosystem attributes, scientists can make comparisons inside vs. outside MPAs, track changes in ecosystem attributes over time, and evaluate if MPAs are having the desired results. This report describes patterns in MLPA state marine reserves (SMR) generated from the ﬁrst 2 years of baseline data collected; SMRs are one type of MPA that provides protection from all forms of ﬁshing and resource extraction. This project represents the most extensive ecological surveys to date of kelp forests along the central coast of California.

title: Final technical report - Establishing a baseline and assessing spatial and socioeconomic change in the California Central Coast commercial and CPFV fisheries

description: The waters off the Central Coast of California have long supported fishing activities that are integral to the cultural and economic history of the area. Fisheries exemplify the interdependencies between the natural environment and coastal communities that have characterized California since well before statehood. In September 22, 2007, as part of the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative, the California Fish and Game Commission (CFGC) designated 29 marine protected areas (MPAs) within the Central Coast state waters of California. The Central Coast Region of California stretches from Pigeon Point in the north to Point Conception in the south (see Map 1 and 2). As part of the baseline marine protected area monitoring effort to characterize the ecological and socioeconomic conditions and changes within the Central Coast Region since MPA implementation, this report provides three sets of primary findings: 1. A spatial and socioeconomic baseline characterization of select commercial fisheries and the commercial passenger fishing vessel (CPFV) fleet in the California Central Coast Region;2. An assessment of initial spatial and socioeconomic changes following MPA implementation; and3. An investigation of the role of MPAs and other major driving factors in observed spatial and economic changesEstablishing a baseline characterization of the commercial fishing and CPFV fleets of the California Central Coast provides a better understanding of the current socioeconomic health of the Central Coast fishing communities and provides a benchmark of socioeconomic conditions and spatial fishing patterns against which future MPA impacts and benefits can be measured. Furthermore, assessing historical trends along with initial changes in socioeconomic conditions and spatial fishing patterns that followed MPA implementation will help inform how MPAs and other driving factors may interplay to influence observed changes. The primary goal of this project was to collect up-to-date information on historical trends, current socioeconomic conditions, and the spatial distribution and relative economic value of key commercial fisheries and the commercial passenger fishing vessel (“party-boat”) fleet in the Central Coast Region. This work documents the initial socioeconomic changes that may have followed MPA implementation and investigates the degree to which any changes are attributable to the MPAs themselves.

title: Final technical report - Baseline surveys of nearshore fishes in and near central California marine protected areas 2007-2009

description: The California Collaborative Fisheries Research Program, a partnership of fishermen, non-governmental organizations, and agency and academic scientists, developed protocols for monitoring marine protected areas in central California using hook-and-line and trap fishing gear. In the summer and fall of 2007, 2008, and 2009 the protocols were used to collect information about species composition, catch rates, and sizes of nearshore fishes in the Año Nuevo, Point Lobos, Piedras Blancas, and Point Buchon State Marine Reserves, and corresponding co-located reference sites. A total of 115 surveys, employing hook-and-line methods, were conducted from 2007 – 2009; 47 in the fall of 2007, 48 in the summer and fall of 2008, and 24 in the summer and fall of 2009, in and near the Año Nuevo, Point Lobos, Piedras Blancas and Point Buchon marine protected areas. A total of 68 trap fishing surveys occurred in and near the Año Nuevo, Point Lobos, Cambria, and Piedras Blancas marine protected areas; 43 in 2008 and 25 in 2009. During these surveys, all caught fishes were identified, measured, tagged with external T-bar anchor tags, and released at location of capture. A total of 12 Commercial Passenger Fishing Vessels, 4 commercial trap-fishing vessels, and 415 volunteer anglers spent a total of 1,121 hours fishing with hook-and-line gear, and 3,445 hours fishing with trap gear. This combined effort resulted in a total catch of 26,262 fishes, which were comprised of 42 species. Of the total catch 22,551 fishes were tagged and released. Out of the fishes released with tags, 119 were recaptured and reported to our offices with information about the location of recapture. The ten most frequently caught species were similar among marine protected areas, and the composition between paired marine protected areas and reference sites is more similar than among marine protected areas, indicating that the reference sites chosen are well-suited for comparisons with associated marine protected areas. Catch and biomass rates for most species were higher in marine protected areas than in reference sites, indicating habitat differences existed prior to the establishment of the MPAs. When differences in mean lengths of fishes were detected, the lengths were most often greater in marine protected areas than in associated reference sites.

title: Final technical report - Monitoring MPAs in deep water off central California

description: Deep rocky banks and outcrops, underwater pinnacles, and submarine canyons, ranging in depth from 30 m to &gt;1,000 m, are important habitats in California waters. These deepwater habitats comprise 75% of the seafloor in state waters within the Central Coast region, and are home to hundreds of species of fishes and macroinvertebrates. Flatfishes, combfishes, poachers, and eelpouts are the dominant fish taxa on soft sediments, along with invertebrates such as sea pens and seastars. Rocky areas are dominated by more than 40 species of rockfishes and many invertebrate taxa such as feather stars, anemones, and gorgonian corals. Although deep habitats on the continental shelf and upper slope contain a high diversity of species that have been fished for decades, far less is known about these habitats and associated communities than those occurring in shallow water. On September 21, 2007, 29 marine protected areas (MPAs) were established off Central California, including two types in deep water: State Marine Reserves (SMR) and State Marine Conservation Areas (SMCA). These MPAs are a result of the 1999 California Marine Life Protection Act that increased protection to coastal marine habitats and species. The creation of this large network of MPAs is a new approach to marine resource management, and has been initiated with a scientific monitoring program that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the MPAs and the network. In 2007, through a competitive grant program, the California Ocean Protection Council and the California Department of Fish and Game provided funding for our team to collect baseline data in the deep portions of eight of the new MPAs and associated Reference sites. We used the manned submersible Delta to survey all fishes and structure-forming invertebrates (e.g., deepsea coral communities) in 164,000 m2 of seafloor habitats from 24–365 m deep in Monterey Bay and along the Big Sur coast. During 337 quantitative transects, we observed nearly 66,000 fishes from 110 taxa, and 158,000 aggregating and 14,000 structure-forming invertebrates from 70 taxa. This comprehensive baseline will be used in the future to critically evaluate the effectiveness of the new MPAs by assessing changes in the diversity, density, and size composition of species using seafloor habitats in the new MPAs.

title: Final technical report - California's central coast marine protected areas baseline data collection summary report

description: This report summarizes the 2007-08 Central Coast Marine Protected Areas Baseline Data Collection Projects, which were a collaborative effort between California's State Coastal Conservancy, Ocean Protection Council, California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), and the California Sea Grant College Program.The central coast marine protected areas (MPAs) were designated April 13, 2007 by the California Fish and Game Commission under the state’s Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) of 1999 and took effect Sept. 21, 2007. This new network effectively launched California’s MLPA Program, which was designed to better conserve marine resources for their long-term sustainable use while enhancing outdoor recreation and ocean research opportunities along the coast.The Central Coast Study Region (CCSR) was the first of five statewide study regions to complete the MLPA planning and implementation process and extends from Pigeon Point in San Mateo County, southward to Point Conception in Santa Barbara County. As mandated by the MLPA, the CCSR process (2004-2007) examined all existing MPAs within the CCSR and created a suite of new MPAs along the central coast that will be part of a statewide network of MPAs once MLPA implementation is completed. The series of 29 marine protected areas represent approximately 204 square miles (or approximately 18%) of state waters in the study region.

title: Reef Check kelp forest long-term MPA monitoring: fish data

description: Reef Check California (RCCA) fish surveys consist of visual surveys performed by scuba divers. At each site, buddy teams of divers conduct eighteen 30 m x 2 m benthic transects, to monitor key species of fish. Each site is divided into two "zones" by depth (shallow 5-12 meters and deep 12-18 meters - or from offshore to inshore at sites with little depth variation) to assure that samples are distributed across the face of a reef from inshore to offshore. Fish are identified to species, when possible their sex or live stage is recorded, and individual's total length is estimated to the nearest centimeter.The long-term California MPA boundary and project info tables referenced in this dataset can be found as a separate dataset here: https://opc.dataone.org/view/doi:10.25494/P6V884

title: Final technical report - High resolution nearshore substrate mapping and persistence analysis with multi-spectral aerial imagery

description: The objective of this project was to create a very high spatial resolution (1-2m) intertidal and estuarine substrate distribution map data base covering all of the newly-created MPAs in the California North Central Coast region, and significant areas outside of the MPAs. This was accomplished using multispectral aerial imagery which was classified for substrate type using algorithms trained, in part, with field sample data collected specifically for this project. The region of coverage included the entire coastline between Pigeon Point and Pt. Arena (290 km) plus inland areas covering the estuarine, bay and river MPAs. Three remote sensing data sets were utilized to create the final substrate map products: 1) 4-band imagery collected in March, 2010 by Ocean Imaging Corp. with its DMSC-MKII sensor; 2) 4-band imagery collected in September, 2010 by Fugro EarthData with a Leica ADS-40 sensor; 3) Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) topographic data collected by Fugro in March, 2010.
