Description: This raster was optimized for web display by reprojecting to WGS 1984 and applying a hillshade (Azimuth 325 degrees, Altitude 42 degrees, Model Shadows, Z Factor = 3) using the Hillshade Spatial Analyst Tool. Please note that the values do not represent real elevations. See Monterey_Shalebeds_2m in the CSMW database for the original raster.Description of the original raster: The purpose of this project was to produce high-resolution marine habitat maps of nearshore sites deemed critical to the implementation of the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) and Marine Life Management Act (MLMA) by the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) Marine Region management team. The main goal was to provide high-resolution (1-3m grid) multibeam bathymetry and sonar-derived habitat map products for a.Central California (one-third of total sites), b.Southern Mainland California (two-thirds of total sites).
