| description:
|
Giant kelp forests, with their extensive vertical structure, represent the most diverse of the marine habitats and support commercial fisheries, education, and recreation. Kelp forests/beds are dynamic, with substantial variability in extent of surface canopy between years associated with storms and other oceanographic conditions (e.g., El Niño Southern Oscillation). Although many functional values are tied to the presence of kelp canopy, habitat values persist in the absence of canopy (e.g., understory and bottom-dwelling algae, invertebrates, and cryptic fish species). Therefore, constraints maps in this document are based on historic occurrence and substrate.
Sediment management impact considerations for kelp forests/beds include:
§ Potential for substantial sedimentation based on sand volume and proximity of kelp forests/beds;
§ Potential for prolonged turbidity over kelp bed areas; and
§ Potential for equipment damage from vessels and anchoring.
Dataset was submitted to CSMW by SANDAG as part of the San Diego County Coastal Regional Sediment amanagement Plan (2009). |
