- Abstract
- The Southern California Baseline Study was a large multi-year, multidisciplinary marine program that was conducted to provide the U.S. Department of the Interior with information necessary to assess the potential environmental impacts of leasing tracts of submarine lands for commercial oil production and to properly manage marine resources if recovery of petroleum occurs. Studies within the program were designed to provide an overview of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) chemical, biological, and sedimentological regimes and a statistical baseline of the sand beach and rocky intertidal floral and faunal communities.
