Santa Barbara Channel Marine BON: Nearshore kelp forest integrated benthic cover, 1980-ongoing
The Santa Barbara Channel Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (SBCMBON) tracks long-term patterns in species abundance and diversity. This dataset contains cover of kelp forest sessile invertebrates, understory macroalgae, and substrate types by integrating data from four contributing projects working in the kelp forests of the Santa Barbara Channel, USA. Divers collect data on using either uniform point contact (UPC) or random point contact (RPC) methods. The four contributing projects are two research projects: The Santa Barbara Coastal LTER (SBC LTER) and the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO), the kelp forest monitoring program of the Santa Barbara Channel National Park, and the San Nicolas Island monitoring program supported by USGS. Together, these projects have recorded data for more than 200 species at approximately 100 sites on both the mainland coast and on the Santa Barbara Channel Islands. Sampling began in 1982 and is ongoing. Data were collected by human observation (divers using SCUBA) during regular surveys. Percent cover is recorded for taxa where individuals cannot be counted. Cover can be calculated from the data here as the fraction of total points at which the taxon was present x 100. With UPC and RPC methods, multiple species can be recorded at any given point. The total percent cover of all species combined using this method can exceed 100%; however, the percent cover of any single species cannot exceed 100%. See Methods for information on integration and data processing. MBON is funded by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). For users who are interested in using all or part of this integrated datasets, please contact data owners to discuss your research interests, data-related issues or any other questions.

Santa Barbara Channel Marine BON: Nearshore kelp forest integrated fish, 1981-ongoing
The Santa Barbara Channel Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (SBCMBON) tracks long-term patterns in species abundance and diversity. This dataset contains counts of fish (including cryptic fish, which are deliberately sought out) produced by integrating data from four contributing projects working in the kelp forests of the Santa Barbara Channel, USA. The four contributing projects are two research projects, the Santa Barbara Coastal LTER (SBC LTER) and the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO), and the kelp forest monitoring program of the Santa Barbara Channel National Park, and the San Nicolas Island monitoring program supported by USGS. Together, these projects have recorded data for more than 200 species at approximately 100 sites on both the mainland coast and on the Santa Barbara Channel Islands. Sampling began in 1980 and is ongoing. Data were collected by human observation (divers using SCUBA) during regular surveys. This dataset includes five entities, three data tables and two R scripts. The main data table contains counts of organisms, the bottom-area and height of the water column over which the fish were surveyed. The column labeled “count” records the number of organisms found in each plot/transect at a given timestamp. A second data table contains place names and geolocation for sampling sites. Information is sufficient for the calculation of fish density, which is left to the user. The third data table contains the depths of each transect the for the fish survey. Sample R script is included to illustrate generation of a basic table of areal density by taxa and sampling site. A second R script is included to convert these data from their primary MBON structure to a Darwin Core Archive (and available through multiple sources). MBON is funded by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). For users who are i
Santa Barbara Channel Marine BON: Nearshore kelp forest integrated quad and swath survey, 1980-ongoing
The Santa Barbara Channel Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (SBCMBON) tracks long-term patterns in species abundance and diversity. This dataset contains counts of algae and invertebrates (both sessile and mobile) by integrating data from four contributing projects working in the kelp forests of the Santa Barbara Channel, USA.

Santa Barbara Channel Marine BON: Nearshore kelp forest integrated taxa, 1980-ongoing
The Santa Barbara Channel Marine Biodiversity Network (SBC MBON) tracks long-term patterns in species abundance and diversity. By integrating research and monitoring efforts (both existing and de novo data), we provide a comprehensive view of biodiversity in the region. This dataset is a combined species list from four datasets currently handled and integrated by SBC MBON, with identifiers from an appropriate taxonomic registry included for each taxon. Because this species list reflects the integration of multiple collections, it will be updated as SBC MBON integration efforts develop.

Santa Barbara Channel Marine BON: Gray Whales Count
This dataset documents the passage of gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) migrating northbound since 2007, through the nearshore areas of the Santa Barbara Channel, along a corridor extending approximately 3 nautical miles (nm) from the mainland shore. The data is collected by a non-profit organization Gray Whales Count (http://www.graywhalescount.org/GWC/The_Count/The_Count.htmt), which is a research and education project. The survey is conducted at the Coal Oil Point Reserve in Goleta, California, USA. The coastline runs east-west, with northbound whales traveling west, left to right across our Point towards Point Conception. Every year, we survey 98 consecutive days from early February through mid-May. Conditions permitting, each survey-day begins at 9 AM and ends usually at 5 PM.
Santa Barbara Channel Marine BON: genomics study on 16S primer comparison
This project examined the effects of 16S rRNA gene primer selection on population representation and community ecology of bacteria and archaea in the Santa Barbara Channel. Four 16S rRNA primer sets targeting different hypervariable regions of the gene were compared using both mock communities of known composition constructed from cloned 16S rRNA genes and field samples covering the annual cycle. Amplicon results were compared with shotgun metagenomes prepared from a subset of the field samples. The field samples included in the comparison study are subsets of two more extensive field programs in the Santa Barbara Channel. Samples included from the Plumes and Blooms transect times-series program were collected between February 2012 and August 2014. Samples from University-National Oceanographic Laboratory Systems cruise PS1103 (Wear et al. 2015; DOI: 10.1002/lno.10042) were collected in May 2011. All datasheets represent curated, processed output of the bioinformatics pipeline. Unprocessed sequencing data are archived with the National Center for Biotechnology Information, with accession numbers specified in the individual datasheets. Four dataset entities included primer testing on a known mock community (Entity #1 and #2) as well as the application of the primers to field samples (Entity #3) and shotgun metagenomes from a subset of field samples (Entity #4): 1) Cloned 16S genes used to construct the mock community. 2) Mock community sequencing results - relative abundance of each clone with each of 4 primer sets. 3) Field sequencing results - relative abundance of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and weighted UniFrac distance matrices. 4) Metagenome results – taxonomic identities of individual 16S rRNA sequences identified in each metagenome. The funding source for this project is: the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Biodiversity and Ecological Forecasting program (Grant NNX14AR62A), the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management Ecosystem Studies progr
