Integration
INTEGRATION OPTION 3
This map shows the overlap of options one and two. The top 20% for bird diversity and density were combined, as were the top 20% of fish diversity and density. This is the most inclusive view of marine bird and fish hot spots. Also shown is the most recent estimated distribution of Kelp beds within the study area. Although no specific analysis of biodiversity was done for kelp communities, it is well documented that these habitats support a rich and diverse faunal assemblage (Abbott and Hollenberg 1976, VanWagenen 2001, McLean 1962, Foster and Schiel 1985, Harrold et al. 1988, Thorson 1950, Randall 1965, Cowen 1983, Tegner and Levin 1983, Dayton et al. 1984, Dean et al. 1984, Ebeling et al. 1985, Harrold and Reed 1985, Miller and Geibel 1973, surfperch in Ebeling et al. 1985, Ebeling and Laur 1985, King and DeVogelaere 2000, Van Blaricom and Estes 1988, Reidman and Estes 1988).
