Bull kelp surface extent at select sites in the Southern Gulf Islands, 2010-2024
These data contain a record of surface extent of bull kelp at select sites in the Southern Gulf Islands. All of the 2010-2018 data were recorded in the nearshore waters of Mayne Island. Starting in 2019 the monitoring program was expanded in collaboration with the Galiano Conservancy Association, Pender Islands Conservancy Association, Saturna Island Marine Research and Education Society, and Valdes Island Conservancy to include additional sites around those islands. We anticipate annual monitoring of select sites will continue on an annual basis.
