Bottom Photography
Bottom photographs and video from each station provide information on the geology, benthic ecology, and intrastation variability. Between 1 and 8 bottom photographs and several minutes of video were taken at each station in the study area (fig. 25). Photographs show many boulders are covered with flora and fauna such as hydrozoans, anemones, algae, tunicates and (or) sponges, and snails (fig. 26). Sandy areas are mostly rippled and they generally have scattered shells and shell hash, burrows, and worm or amphipod tubes (fig. 27).
Low-resolution images (150 x 113 pixels) of the photographs can be viewed by browsing the thumbnails in the photograph gallery below. These thumbnails are linked to medium-resolution images (600 x 450 pixels) for more detailed viewing. A .zip file with all the medium-resolution images can be accessed by clicking here. The .zip file also contains metadata about the photographs and their acquisition. Alternatively, a .zip file containing the full-resolution images (3648 x 2736 pixels) and metadata can be accessed by clicking here. The images can be identified by using the .jpg image names in the gallery below.
