Distribution of kelp canopy was captured from geo-referenced historic NOS Survey "Smooth Sheets" in the vicinity of the Oregon Territorial Sea from the period 1868-1958. Data was captured to help improve knowledge of habitat characteristics within the Oregon Territorial Sea.
Potential uses should be mindful of the age of the source surveys (as early as 1868), and the resultant potential issues with horizontal accuracy.
