Description:

Abstract:

Photopt.shp is a GIS file of locations where seafloor photographs were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during September 2004 during survey O-1-04-SC.
This data set is one of a collection of digital files of a geographic information system (GIS) of spatially referenced data related to the study of seafloor geology and benthic habitats of the San Pedro shelf off southern California.
The San Pedro shelf study area covers approximately 400 sq km offshore of the metropolitan Los Angeles area out to a water depth of about 150 m (492 ft). The seafloor hosts a rich and varied biologic community and is subject to anthropogenic inputs from shipping traffic, sewage outfall systems, commercial fisheries, and recreational use. Between 1998 and 2004, the U.S. Geological Survey (in cooperation with Los Angeles and Orange County Sanitation Districts) mapped the seafloor with sonar technologies, collected video and still photography, and collected sediment samples to develop a characterization of this shelf area.

Purpose:

These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information.
