| DFG Fishing Study |
 |
The California Department of Fish and Game's Central California Marine Sport Fish Survey (Refugia Project) conducted fishery-independent hook-and-line fishing surveys along the central California coast in nearshore waters, adjacent to kelp beds and over rocky reefs, from 1978 to 1998. Data summaries and maps have been compiled into an easy-access format.

| Species Richness of Demersal Rockfish |
 |
The information on this map identifies areas with a high number of rockfish species. The highest rockfish concentrations were observed along the edge between the slope and shelf, emphasizing the importance of these areas to rockfish. Data were derived from National Marine Fisheries shelf and slope trawls from 1977 to 2001.
