It includes raster datasets at 25 x 25 m spatial resolution depicting the mean of the predicted probability of occurrence and the coefficient of variation of the predicted probability of occurrence for 43 taxa of benthic macrofauna. The data collection also includes raster datasets at 25 x 25 m spatial resolution depicting each of the 66 spatial environmental predictor variables considered for fitting the models. The Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Region includes an extensive area offshore of California, Oregon, and Washington for which the US Department of the Interior Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) oversees the responsible development of energy and mineral resources. Information about the distribution of sensitive biota in the region, including benthic macrofauna, is critical for making environmentally sound decisions about managing those activities and developing mitigation measures to avoid or minimize impacts on marine environments and organisms. To meet this critical information need, BOEM partnered with the U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) and Dr. Sarah Henkel from Oregon State University (OSU) to develop habitat suitability models predicting spatial distributions of suitable habitat for benthic macrofauna. The objectives of this study were to collect and compile observations of benthic macrofauna occurrence from survey data, to identify and derive datasets depicting environmental characteristics that might be correlated with the occurrence of these organisms, and to predict and map the spatial distributions of suitable habitat across the study area for selected taxa. Products include geospatial datasets and maps to meet BOEM’s environmental assessment, management, and decision-making needs, as well as to support coastal and ocean management efforts by other local, state, and federal agencies.

Boosted regression tree (BRT) models were generated to estimate relationships between occurrence and spatial environmental predictor variables depicting seafloor topography, substrate, oceanography, and geography. Models were used to predict and map habitat suitability (i.e., probability of occurrence) for 43 taxa of benthic macrofauna across the entire study area. For more details, see Poti et al. (2020).; Data Quality Method: Non-parametric bootstrapping was used to estimate variability (uncertainty) in predicted habitat suitability. The mean habitat suitability from 100 bootstrapped model predictions was selected as the best estimate of habitat suitability. The coefficient of variation (CV) of the 100 bootstrapped predictions was calculated as a measure of variability in model predictions at each grid cell. Maps of habitat suitability were reviewed by study authors and collaborators with expertise in the ecology of benthic macrofauna. See Poti et al. (2020) for details. asNeeded Metadata are developed, maintained and distributed by NCEI. Updates are performed as needed to maintain currentness.
