Figure 1 Thirty-year mean distribution of sea level pressure along the U.S. West Coast based on National Meteorological Center Analysis. Contours are sea-level pressure every 4 mb (from: Mass and Bond, 1996). Figure 2 Near-surface salinity distributions a) 14-15 Dec. 1972; b) 25-26 Jan. 1973; c) 22-23 Feb. 1973; d) 22-23 Mar. 1973 (from: Broenkow and Smethie, 1978). Figure 3 Vertical temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen profiles; Left: Offshore California Current 35ñ53.5'N 122ñ24.0' W; 16 Oct. 1961; right: Hopkins Marine Station 3 in Monterey Bay 36ñ47.7'N 122ñ01.2'W; 8 May 1970 (from: Broenkow, 1996). Figure 4 Vertical profiles of temperature, salinity and nutrients from Moss Landing Marine Labs hydrographic station 10 (36ñ 45.6'N; 121ñ52.0'W) for February and October 1971 and 1972 (Created from data in Broenkow, 1972; Broekow and Benz, 1973). The February 1971 and February 1972 profiles were reported as upwelling periods (Smithie, 1973). Figure 5 Cross section of typical Central California kelp forest showing distribution of common species and microhabitats associated with the forest (revised from: Foster et al., 1983). Figure 6 California kelp harvests (Macrocystis pyrifera and Nereocystis luetkeana) 1916 through 1994, in "wet" metric tons (Data courtesy of Department of Fish and Game (DFG), Marine Resources Division). At the time of this document's publication, DFG had not completed a summary of the total harvest levels for the State between 1995 and 1999. Figure 7 Map of the MBNMS showing locations and associated numbers for the areas designated as "Department of Fish and Game (DFG) Kelp Beds." Figure 8 Kelp harvested from MBNMS Beds (open and closed beds) between 1987 and 1999. Data from 1987 to 1993 does not include Leased bed tonnages (Data courtesy of Department of Fish and Game, Marine Resources Division). Figure 9 Map of the Monterey Peninsula showing locations and associated numbers for the areas designated as "DFG Kelp Beds." Figure 10 Map of the MBNMS showing locations of all existing areas in the MBNMS where kelp harvesting is presently prohibited from, and the two areas along Cannery Row where the MBNMS is recommending two additional no-kelp harvesting areas, and the area from Año Nuevo north where the MBNMS is recommending a no-kelp harvesting area (see MBNMS Recommendation #2). |
