Approximately 95 square kilometers of area was mapped with multibeam sonar. The survey expanded the extent of mapping data collected by Solmar Hydro Inc. in 2013 under a contract with WindFloat Pacific. When added to the Solmar Hydro data the total area mapped is approximately 140 square kilometers, lying in Federal waters on the shelf offshore of Coos Bay of interest for renewable energy (OCS-P lease blocks 6523, 6524, 6573, 6574, 6623, 6624, 6673, and 6674). Water depths range from 300 to 500 meters and are within the effective depth range of the Reson 7111. The seabed in his area is composed of sand and mud, with rocky outcrops on tectonically uplifted features. The survey was conducted using 12 hour day operations...

This study took place in the Santa Barbara channel region of southern California, USA. The Santa Barbara channel is a well-known biogeographic transition zone and nearshore rocky reefs and kelp forests are home to many important commercial and recreationally fished species. In particular, rockfishes (genus Sebastes) are long-lived, piscivorous reef fishes that are important predators and are both commercially and recreationally fished. Kelp bass (Paralabrax clathratus), another important fish predator makes up a major sport fishery in southern CA. Finally, CA sheephead (Semicossyphus pulcher) are predators on grazing urchins and have been shown to exert top down control on kelp forests in the area (Hamilton and...
