The map area offshore of Aptos, California, which is referred to herein as the “Offshore of Aptos” map area, is located on the Pacific Coast, on the north side of Monterey Bay, 88 kilometers (55 miles) south of San Francisco. The largest incorporated city in the map area, Capitola (and numerous unincorporated towns including Aptos) lie on uplifted marine terraces between the shore and the northern-trending Santa Cruz Mountains, part of the northwest trending Coast Ranges that run roughly parallel to the San Andreas Fault Zone (SAFZ) (California Geological Survey, 2002). As of 2013 the U.S. Census Bureau estimated populations of Aptos and Capitola were approximately 6000 and 10,000 respectively. Aptos is one of the...

Two marine geological surveys were conducted in Long Island Sound, Connecticut and New York, in fall 2017 and spring 2018 by the U.S. Geological Survey, University of Connecticut, and University of New Haven through the Long Island Sound Mapping and Research Collaborative. Sea-floor images and videos were collected at 210 sampling sites within the survey area, and surficial sediment samples were collected at 179 of the sites. The sediment data and the observations from the images and videos are used to identify sediment texture and sea-floor habitats.

Geophysical and geological survey data were collected off Town Neck Beach in Sandwich, Massachusetts, in May and July 2016. Approximately 130 linear kilometers of subbottom (seismic-reflection) and 234-kilohertz interferometric sonar (bathymetric and backscatter) data were collected along with sediment samples, sea floor photographs, and (or) video at 26 sites within the geophysical survey area. Sediment grab samples were collected at 19 of the 26 sampling sites and video and (or) photographic imagery of the sea floor were taken at all 26 sites. These survey data are used to characterize the sea floor by identifying sediment-texture, seabed morphology, and underlying geologic structure and stratigraphy. Data collected...

Modeling the distribution of ecologically and economically important species provides managers and conservation planners with information on a broad spatial scale that is useful to coastal management, ocean energy, marine protected areas, and marine spatial planning.These maps display predictive models of occurrence for common benthic macro-invertebrate taxa and maps the probability of occurrence of these taxa in the Santa Barbara Channel. These models are based on real-time biological observations of all macro-organisms made during ground-truth surveys conducted in 2008 and 2009; the observations were made during a 10-second interval every minute along camera transects, which were approximately 1 km in length....

This data publication is a compilation of six different multibeam surveys covering the previously unmapped Queen Charlotte Fault offshore southeast Alaska and Haida Gwaii, Canada. These data were collected between 2005 and 2018 under a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Geological Survey, Natural Resources Canada, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The six source surveys from different multibeam sonars are combined into one terrain model with a 30-m resolution. A complementary polygon shapefile records the extent of each source survey in the output grid.

The South Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (SALCC) project area supports a wide variety of critical estuarine and marine habitats. However, the existing maps of these resources were created at different scales and are housed in a variety of locations. This can be challenging for users and limits their utility for a regional approach to analysis. Looking across boundaries is important to understanding relative value when making habitat conservation decisions. With this project, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) proposes to: (1) develop a suite of regional natural resource maps for the South Atlantic; (2) create a report describing data source, analytical methods and mapping results that includes a summary of...

Multibeam bathymetry data were collected along the Queen Charlotte-Fairweather Fault between Icy Point and Dixon Entrance, offshore southeastern Alaska from 2016-05-17 to 2016-06-12. Data were collected aboard the Alaska Department of Fish and Game R/V Medeia using a Reson SeaBat 7160 multibeam echosounder, Reson 7k Control Center, and HYPACK. This data release contains approximately 4,600 square kilometers of multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data, organized into zip files for each Julian Day of the survey.

Marine geophysical mapping of the Queen Charlotte Fault in the eastern Gulf of Alaska was conducted in 2016 as part of a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to understand the morphology and subsurface geology of the entire Queen Charlotte system. The Queen Charlotte fault is the offshore portion of the Queen Charlotte-Fairweather Fault: a major structural feature that extends more than 1,200 kilometers from the Fairweather Range of southern Alaska to northern Vancouver Island, Canada. The data published in this data release were collected along the Queen Charlotte Fault between Cross Sound and Noyes Canyon, offshore southeastern Alaska from May 18 to...

Two marine geological surveys were conducted in Nantucket Sound, Massachusetts, in May 2016 and May 2017 by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of an agreement with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management to map the geology of the sea floor offshore of Massachusetts. Samples of surficial sediment and photographs of the sea floor were collected at 76 sampling sites within the survey area, and sea-floor videos were collected at 75 of the sites. The sediment data and the observations from the photos and videos are used to explore the nature of the sea floor; in conjunction with high-resolution geophysical data, the observations are used to make interpretive maps of sedimentary environments and validate acoustic...

The natural resiliency of the New Jersey barrier island system, and the efficacy of management efforts to reduce vulnerability, depends on the ability of the system to recover and maintain equilibrium in response to storms and persistent coastal change. This resiliency is largely dependent on the availability of sand in the beach system. In an effort to better understand the system's sand budget and processes in which this system evolves, high-resolution geophysical mapping of the sea floor in Little Egg Inlet and along the southern end of Long Beach Island near Beach Haven, New Jersey was conducted from May 31 to June 10, 2018, followed by a sea floor sampling survey conducted from October 22 to 23, 2018, as part...

The map area offshore of Bolinas, California, which is referred to herein as the “Offshore of Bolinas” map area, is located on the Pacific Coast of Marin County, 10 km (6 mi) north of the Golden Gate. The town of Bolinas is the largest population center along this section of coast with a population of approximately 1,600 people. Bolinas is named after a local indigenous tribe. Bolinas is situated at the end of a southeast trending terrain on the western side of the San Andreas Fault that also protects a natural harbor. The harbor lies in Bolinas Lagoon, which is separated from Bolinas Bay by a spit. The harbor hosts two marinas, a boat launch, and two fishing ports. There is little recreational boat activity in...

These maps show the thickness and the depth to base of uppermost Pleistocene and Holocene (post-LGM) deposits (blue- and pink-shaded units of seismic-reflection profiles) both for the Offshore of Salt Point map area and, to establish regional context, for a larger area (about 115 km of coast) that extends from the Salt Point area south to the southern part of the Point Reyes peninsula (Maps C, D). To make these maps, water bottom and depth to base of the LGM horizons were mapped from seismic-reflection profiles using Seisworks software. The difference between the two horizons was exported from Seisworks for every shot point as XY coordinates (UTM zone 10) and two-way travel time (TWT). The thickness of the composite...

The map area offshore of San Francisco, California, which is referred to herein as the “Offshore of San Francisco” map area is centered on the Golden Gate, the inlet of the San Francisco Bay. The San Francisco Bay Area is the second-largest urban area on the U.S. West Coast; cities on the shores of San Francisco Bay have a combined population of over seven million. The San Francisco Bay supports several major cargo ports; over one million metric tons of cargo was off-loaded at the port of San Francisco in 2011. The Port of San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf is a major center for Northern California’s commercial and sport fishing fleets. The Wharf’s Pier 45 houses the largest concentration of commercial fish processors...
