Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-11-30T00:00:00Z
This shapefile has substrate, geomorphic, and geologic attributed polygons in the Offshore of Cape Mendocino, California, map area, one of 83 map areas of the California State Waters Map Series, USGS Data Series 781 (Golden, 2019). The polygons are derived from multibeam echosounder (MBES) data and derivatives of that data using video-supervised and unsupervised classification. Attributes and attribute values are named following the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS; Federal Geographic Data Committee, 2012) to be useful for ecosystems management.
