The goal is to inform the CA Ocean Protection Council on best approaches, as their goal is to fund these mapping programs towards the states 30 by 30 initiative.

Thanks. We'll be publishing a white paper at the end of the process (July??) Covering our panel's findings as well as panels on mapping of dunes, rocky intertidal, and wetlands.

For our first meeting we defined what the habitat is and what our boundaries are. Next step is to evaluate different mapping techniques- divers to sonar to satellites

How do you approach quantifying it? In-sediment imaging (SPI or other) or do you infer it from the species list? I'm asking from a quantification of ecosystem services perspective

A pen shell of some fashion?
