NCCOS Assessment: U.S. West Coast Cross-Shelf Habitat Suitability Modeling of Deep-Sea Corals and Sponges, 2016-10-01 to 2020-09-30 (NCEI Accession 0276883)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: October 13, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-03-15T00:00:00.000+00:00
This data collection contains geospatial data from models predicting the spatial distributions of deep-sea corals and sponges offshore of the continental U.S. West Coast to 1200 m depth. It includes raster datasets at 200 x 200 m spatial resolution depicting the mean of the predicted relative habitat suitability, the coefficient of variation of the predicted relative habitat suitability, the classified mean relative habitat suitability, and the ‘robust high’ habitat suitability prediction for each of 31 taxa of deep-sea corals and 15 taxa of sponges and raster datasets at 200 x 200 m spatial resolution depicting the number of taxa of deep-sea corals associated with hard substrate that have ‘high’ habitat suitability or ‘robust high’ habitat suitability at each grid cell. The data collection also includes raster datasets at 200 x 200 m spatial resolution depicting each of the 66 spatial environmental predictor variables considered for fitting the models.
