Sea Cucumber Trawl Density, 2010-2017

Aug 27, 2020 (Last modified Aug 8, 2022)
Description:
This feature collection summarizes logbook records from the CDFW Marine Log System (MLS) showing the density of trawls landing sea cucumbers from 2010 to 2017. Data from CDFW trawl logs landing sea cucumbers were provided by the CDFW environmental scientist data steward, C. Mirales, to determine the start position, end position, vessel ID, tow or drag number ID, date, and species landed. Records were transformed and plotted to create straight line trawl tracks attributed with date and landings. Lines were filtered to remove records plotted on land and track lines greater than 25km in length. Records were selected for all sea cumber species and summarize by the ArcGIS line density function. Results are presented by a 1km cell GRID representing a 5km search radius. Units are reported as total length of trawls (Km) within the search area.
