  1. Spatial Variability of Kelp Growth in the Steffanson Sound Boulder Patch Christina Bonsell GISWR 2013 November 21, 2013

  2. Purpose: determine patterns of linear kelp growth over space and time

  3. Where are we? Boulder Patch map from Dunton 2009

  4. What are we looking at?

  5. What are we looking at? Blade Stipe 1 year old 3 yrs old 4 yrs old This year 5 yrs old

  6. Growth per site

  7. Growth per site

  8. Growth interpolated over area: all years 1980-2009

  9. Growth interpolated over area per year 1988 2003

  10. Growth interpolated over area per year 1981-2006

  11. What’s left? • Short term • polish up maps • Calculate statistics • Continue attempts to get Boulder Patch shapefile • Longer term • Collect density data for productivity calculation • Growth/individual* individuals/m2 = growth/m2

  12. Thank you! QUESTIONS?
