Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: ROV deployments were conducted in 4 areas in the study area. 2 were within the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, 2 others were in California state fish reserves along the California coast. Digital video was recorded on all ROV deployments. Observations of benthic geology and biologic assemblages were recorded as point data in an ArcView project.
