NCCOS Assessment: An Aquaculture Opportunity Atlas for the Southern California Bight (NCEI Accession 0286986)

Shapefiles of the Aquaculture Opportunity Area (AOA) study developed during 2021 for the Southern California Bight. Included in this dataset are:
(1) Study areas in the Southern California Bight developed based on depth and jurisdictional boundaries. Four study areas were identified (North, Central North, Central South, South).
(2) Suitability modeling results for the North, Central North, Central South, and South Southern California Bight study areas are presented as categories (“Unsuitable,” “Low,” “Moderate,” “High”)
(3) High-High clusters (HH) from the Aquaculture Opportunity Atlas for Southern California. Clusters were identified within each of the four study areas (North, Central North, Central South, and South).
(4) Refined High-High clusters (HH) from the Aquaculture Opportunity Atlas for Southern California. Clusters were identified within each of the four study areas (North, Central North, Central South, and South).
(5) Options from the Aquaculture Opportunity Atlas for Southern California. Options were identified within two of the study areas, North and Central North.
