Predicted distribution models of corals and other benthic macroinvertbrates in shelf habitats in the Santa Barbara Channel (NCEI Accession 0297220)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-09-20T00:00:00.000+00:00
Generalized linear models (GLM) generated for predicting the distribution of macroinvertebrate-sized hydroids, brittle stars, and short and tall sea pens that live in the Santa Barbara Channel (SBC) off California. Models contain probability of occurrence in the SBC from Refugio State Beach (34.58 N, 120.18 W) to Hueneme Canyon (34.18 N, 119.28W) along 5 survey blocks: Refugio, Coal Oil Point, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Hueneme Canyon. Presence-absence data from geo-referenced video data and still images were fit to binomial GLMs with logit link functions (multiple logistic regression). For more details on the modeling process, see the journal article Krigsman et al. (2012). All models are presented in the GeoTIFF format.
