  Description:
    Abstract:
      The Southern California Bight , an open embayment
      in the coast between Point Conception and Cape
      Colnett (south of Ensenada), Baja California, is
      an important and unique ecological resource.  The
      SCB is a transitional area that is influenced by
      currents from cold, temperate ocean waters from
      the north and warm, tropical waters from the
      south.  In addition, the SCB has a complex
      topography, with offshore islands, submarine
      canyons, ridges and basins, which provide a
      variety of habitats.  The mixing of currents and
      the diverse habitats in the SCB allow for the
      coexistence of a broad spectrum of species,
      including more than 500 species of fish and
      several thousand species of invertebrates.  The
      SCB is also a major migration route, with marine
      bird and mammal populations ranking among the most
      diverse in north temperate waters.  The coastal
      zone of the SCB is a substantial economic
      resource.  Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor is the
      largest commercial port in the United States, and
      San Diego Harbor is home to one of the largest US
      Naval facilities in the country.  More than 100
      million people visit southern California beaches
      and coastal areas annually, bringing an estimated
      $9B into the economy.  Recreational activities
      include diving, swimming, surfing, and boating,
      with about 40,000 pleasure boats docked in 13
      coastal marinas within the region (NRC 1990).
      Recreational fishing brings in more than $500M per
      year.  The SCB is one of the most densely
      populated coastal regions in the country, which
      creates stress upon its marine environment.
      Nearly 20 million people inhabit coastal Southern
      California, a number that is expected to increase
      another 20% by 2010 (NRC 1990).  Population growth
      generally results in conversion of open land into
      non-permeable surfaces.  More than 75% of southern
      Californian bays and estuaries have already been
      dredged and filled for conversion into harbors and
      marinas (Horn and Allen 1985).  This hardening of
      the coast increases the rate of runoff and can
      impact water quality through addition of sediment,
      toxic chemicals, pathogens and nutrients to the
      ocean.  Besides the impacts of land conversion,
      the SCB is already home to fifteen municipal
      wastewater treatment facilities, eight power
      generating stations, 10 industrial treatment
      facilities, and 18 oil platforms that discharge to
      the open coast.  Each year, local, state, and
      federal agencies spend in excess of $31M to
      monitor the environmental quality of natural
      resources in the SCB (Schiff et al 2001).  At
      least 75% of this monitoring is associated with
      National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
      (NPDES) permits and is intended to assess
      compliance of waste discharge with the California
      Ocean Plan and the federal Clean Water Act, which
      set water quality standards for effluent and
      receiving waters.  Some of this information has
      played a significant role in management decisions
      in the SCB.  While these monitoring programs have
      provided important information, they were designed
      to evaluate impacts near individual discharges.
      Today, resource managers are being encouraged to
      develop management strategies for the entire SCB.
      To accomplish this task, they need
      regionally-based information to assess cumulative
      impacts of contaminant inputs and to evaluate
      relative risk among different types of stresses.
      It is difficult to use existing data to evaluate
      regional issues because the monitoring was
      designed to be site-specific and is limited to
      specific geographic areas.  The monitoring
      provides substantial data for some areas, but
      there is little or no data for the areas in
      between.  Beyond the spatial limitations, data
      from these programs are not easily merged to
      examine relative risk.  The parameters measured
      often differ among programs.  Even when the same
      parameters are measured, the methodologies used to
      collect the data often differ and interlaboratory
      quality assurance (QA) exercises to assess data
      comparability are rare.  Previous Regional
      Monitoring Studies  To begin addressing these
      concerns, there have been two previous regional
      monitoring efforts.  The first regional monitoring
      survey in 1994, called the Southern California
      Bight Pilot Project (SCBPP), was a compilation of
      12 agencies that cooperatively sampled 261 sites
      along the continental shelf between Point
      Conception and the United States/Mexico border.
      The second regional monitoring survey, called the
      Southern California Bight 1998 Regional Monitoring
      Project (Bight98), was comprised of 64 agencies
      that cooperatively sampled 416 sites between Point
      Conception and Punta Banda, Mexico.  In both
      surveys, assessments were made of water quality,
      sediment contamination, the status of biological
      resources and species diversity, and the presence
      of marine debris in depths of 10 to 200m, with
      some special emphasis in areas of anthropogenic
      inputs such as large publicly owned treatment
      works (POTWs) or large river and creek mouths.
      However, Bight98 extended what was done in 1994
      by adding additional habitats such as offshore
      islands and inshore areas like bays/harbors, as
      well as additional areas of anthropogenic inputs
      such as marinas, ports, and small POTWs.
      Moreover, a regional evaluation of shoreline water
      quality was added in 1998 that provided our first
      evaluation of the swimmability of southern
      California beaches during dry and wet weather.
      Benefits derived from both the SCBPP and Bight98
      also included the development of new useful
      technical tools that could only be developed with
      regional data sets and participation by multiple
      organizations.   For example, the project produced
      iron-normalization curves for the SCB, allowing
      distinction between natural and anthropogenic
      contributions of metals in sediments (Schiff and
      Weisberg 1998).  A Benthic Response Index was
      developed that integrates complex benthic infaunal
      data into an easily interpreted form that
      describes the degree of perturbation at a site
      (Bergen et al. 1998).  Newer, cheaper
      microbiological methods were tested and evaluated
      alongside traditional microbial measurement
      methods and now have been accepted by both the
      state health agencies for routine shoreline
      monitoring (ref).  Bight98 also improved the
      comparability among the major laboratories in the
      SCB as a result of the quality assurance and
      quality control (QA/QC) laboratory
      intercalibration exercises for chemistry and
      microbiology.  The project also produced a series
      of manuals containing standardized field,
      laboratory and data management activities that
      increased continuity of data and data reporting
      among participants, even after the regional
      monitoring surveys were completed.  2003 Survey
      The proposed Southern California Bight 2003
      Regional Monitoring Project (Bight03) is a
      continuation of the successful cooperative
      regional-scale monitoring begun in southern
      California during the 1990s.  Bight03 builds
      upon the previous successes and expands on the
      1998 survey by including new participants,
      sampling more habitats, and measuring more
      parameters or using new methods.  [Number]
      organizations, including international and
      volunteer organizations, have agreed to
      participate (Table I-1).  The inclusion of
      multiple participants, many of them new to
      regional monitoring, provides several benefits.
      Cooperative interactions among many organizations
      with different perspectives and interests,
      including a combination of regulators and
      dischargers, ensures that an appropriate set of
      regional-scale questions will be addressed by the
      study.  The additional resources brought by
      numerous participants also expands the number of
      habitats and indicators that will be sampled.
      Sampling for Bight03 will include all of the
      areas sampled in 1998, plus a new focus on
      nearshore habitats (coastal lagoons) and offshore
      habitats (inner continental slopes and basins).
      Several new technologies will be brought to bear
      in Bight03 including remote sensing from
      satellite, aerial, and land-based platforms, new
      microbial genetic and phenotypic source tracking
      techniques, and radiodating of sediments to
      determine age and accumulation of chemicals in
      sediments.
    Purpose:
      The purpose of trawl sampling is to obtain data on
      the abundance, biomass, diversity, and disease
      prevalence of demersal fish and invertebrate
      assemblages.  It is also used to collect fish and
      invertebrates for tissue contaminant analysis.
      This information is useful in characterizing
      possible anthropogenic effects on demersal fish
      and invertebrate populations.  Mearns and Allen
      (1978) provide a comprehensive description of how
      small otter trawls should be designed and used for
      conducting biological surveys in coastal waters.

        parameters that will be sampled by each
        organization at each of these sites are listed in
        Table 1 and Appendix 1.  C.  Collection Permits
        Prior to collecting fish and invertebrate
        specimens in the field, each organization must
        contact their local office of the California
        Department of Fish and Game (CDFG).  The caller
        will be asked for his or her name, scientific
        collector's permit number, date, time, and area of
        sampling, type of gear to be used, vessel size,
        color, CF number (or documentation), number of
        persons in party, and organisms targeted for
        collection.  This information can also be faxed to
        the local CDFG office prior to sampling.  Both the
        permit and the permit holder must be onboard
        during sampling and it must be presented to any
        CDFG warden, or personnel who request to see it.
        The phone//FAX numbers of the local offices of the
        CDFG are as follows: San Diego, (858)
        467-4201/(858) 467-4299; Los Alamitos, (562)
        342-7108/(562) 342-7139.    D.  Otter-Trawl
        Specification  A semiballoon otter trawl (Figure
        4) will be used to collect epibenthic
        invertebrates and demersal fish.  Net dimensions
        are as follows:  7.6-m headrope (25 ft); 8.8-m
        footrope (29 ft); 3.8-cm (1.5 in) body mesh; and a
        1.3-cm cod-end mesh (0.5 in).  This net will have
        22.9-m (75 ft) long bridles made of 1.0-1.6 cm
        (3/8 to 5/8 in) diameter rope (e.g., Samson
        braid).  Typical otter boards (doors) will have a
        width of 76 cm (30 in), height of 50 cm (20 in),
        and a suggested weight of 16 kg (35 lb) (Figure
        5).   Slight deviations (< 10%) from the
        dimensions are acceptable.  The door chains should
        be 5-mm (3/16 in) in diameter and should have the
        following numbers of links:  front top -- 12;
        front bottom -- 11; back top -- 17; back bottom --
        16.  The actual specifications of how any trawl
        door is set up may depend on the manufacturer of
        the otter trawl, but the user of the equipment
        should be sure to follow the factory recommended
        set-up procedures to ensure that the net fishes
        appropriately in the field.    The Bight'03 survey
        will require two additions to the trawl
        specifications: 1) Non-crushable floats are
        required for any nets used to trawl deeper than
        300 m; and 2) Lotek archival tags will be attached
        to one of the otter trawl boards to measure water
        temperature, depth and time of the individual
        trawls.  Once started, the archival tag will run
        until its memory is full (approximately 12 hours),
        at which point it will shut off.  The memory is
        non-volatile, but will be lost when the tag is
        started the next time.  To reduce the risk of
        losing data, the tag should be downloaded at the
        end of each field day.  E.  Trawl Data Flow and
        Responsibilities  Unlike benthic infauna and
        sediment chemistry, the collection of trawl data
        (identifications, measurements, etc.) is largely a
        field activity for which there is little
        opportunity to clarify or correct errors.
        Therefore, it is important that the field
        personnel appreciate the ultimate fate of the data
        records they are creating and assure that their
        field records support subsequent steps in the data
        creation process.  For example, specimens
        collected as vouchers or as FID specimens must be
        labeled under the same name as recorded on the
        field data sheet. This allows these specimens to
        be unambiguously associated with the data records
        for purposes of data QC or revision.  In addition,
        each organization conducting trawling must
        complete all stages of sample analysis (lab Ids,
        voucher confirmation, data sheet revisions, etc.)
        prior to submitting data and voucher specimens to
        the project for further review.  The flow of data
        from the trawl to final data set and the parties
        responsible for completion of each stage is
        summarized in Figure 6. F.  Trawl Sampling Event
        Data  The Cruise Leader is responsible for
        collecting all of the required information
        associated with each station occupation and each
        trawl sampling event.  A software application has
        been developed to facilitate the capture and entry
        of these data.  Alternatively, paper data forms
        may be used (Appendix 6).  The required station
        occupation information includes:  G.  Net
        Preparation   The trawl components should be
        properly prepared prior to trawling so that the
        trawl can be deployed in an orderly and safe
        manner upon arrival at a station.  The net should
        be laid out and stacked on the stern of the vessel
        in the same configuration that it will be
        deployed: cod-end to the stern, floats up, and
        foot rope down. The trawl net should be checked to
        make sure that the cod-end is tied correctly, the
        doors should be connected properly to the leg
        lines, and the bridles should be securely fastened
        to the doors and to the tow wire.  H.  Station
        Occupation  Every effort should be taken to ensure
        that any particular trawl track passes the station
        coordinates at a distance of no greater than 100 m
        (200 m for Island stratum), and that the trawl
        course varies no more than +/- 10% of the target
        depth.  The trawl track can be plotted prior to
        sampling so that a successive series of waypoint
        locations along the track can be obtained.  These
        coordinates can then be entered into the DGPS and
        then retrieved at the time of sampling to ensure
        that the vessel maintains its course along the
        trawl track.  I.  Pre-Trawl Survey  Prior to
        trawling at a new station, it is important to
        conduct a pre-trawl survey of the trawl course.
        Trawl gear is likely to be lost if it becomes
        snagged on bottom obstructions and replacement of
        nets can be costly.  The trawl course at a
        previously unsampled station should be evaluated
        by use of a fathometer.  This pre-trawl survey can
        enable the navigator to avoid uncharted reefs and
        other obstacles.  If obstacles are encountered,
        resurvey a new trawl course. The Cruise Leader
        alone has the authority to decide whether to trawl
        or abandon an unknown station.   This survey
        should always be conducted at a new sampling site
        to determine whether the station is acceptable or
        if it should be abandoned.  The pre-trawl survey
        should follow the expected trawl course along the
        isobath and the fathometer will be examined for
        evidence rocks and other obstacles.    If the
        first run indicates that a particular site is
        unacceptable, another survey will be conducted
        within 100 m or the original location and within
        +/-10% of the original depth.  If this attempt is
        unsuccessful, a third attempt will be conducted at
        a different location using the same protocols (100
        m of the original location, and +/-10% of original
        depth).  The site will be abandoned after three
        unsuccessful attempts.  J.  Trawling  Trawls will
        be towed along, rather than across, isobaths.
        While the vessel is underway the net and doors are
        placed in the water.  It is important that the
        floats skim the surface and that the net is not
        entangled (e.g., crossed leg lines, bunched or
        hooked portions of the net) prior to paying out
        the bridles.  This small step could mean the
        difference between a successful or unsuccessful
        trawl.  The bridles should be paid out by
        personnel on either side of the net, so as to
        avoid becoming entangled in the rigging during
        deployment.  Use of the proper scope (i.e., length
        of hydrowire paid out versus the water depth) is
        important for successful trawls. After the net
        touches the bottom, a sufficient length of
        hydrowire (towing wire) should be paid out to
        ensure that the net is pulled from a horizontal
        rather than a vertical position.  Insufficient
        scope will prevent the net from consistently
        fishing the bottom and will result in a no-catch,
        or a short-catch situation.  In general, the
        required scope declines with increasing depth
        because the additional weight of the hydrowire
        enhances the horizontal component of the towing
        forces    These scopes are for 1.0 cm (0.38 in)
        hydrowire.  These scopes will have to be adjusted
        accordingly when using a different diameter of
        hydrowire.  Trawling is conducted at a
        speed-over-ground of 1.0 m/sec (or 1.5 to 2.0
        knots).  At stations in less than 300 m water
        depth, the net is towed for 10 minutes, measured
        on deck from start of trawl to end of trawl (i.e.,
        lock down of winch to start of retrieval). Under
        normal circumstances, this distance over ground is
        equivalent to 450-600 m.  Trawl speed and distance
        can be determined by DGPS. In confined areas (e.g.
        bays and harbors) the trawl duration may be
        reduced to 5 min, or a distance over ground of
        225-300 m. At stations in depths greater than 300
        m, the archival tag is downloaded immediately upon
        completion of the trawl and the on-bottom duration
        determined.  If the on-bottom duration is <8
        minutes or >15 minutes, the trawl is repeated,
        adjusting the on-deck duration as necessary to
        fall within the limits and as close to 10 minutes
        of on-bottom time as possible.  If there are
        demersal fish and invertebrates in trawls falling
        outside the on-bottom duration limits, the catch
        is processed while the station is being
        re-trawled.  A check box is provided on the data
        sheets to indicate that the data are from a trawl
        that is outside the on-bottom time limits.  At the
        end of the prescribed trawl time, the net is
        retrieved and brought onboard the vessel. The
        cod-end is then opened and the catch deposited
        into a tub or holding tank. The catch is
        subsequently released to the scientific crew for
        processing.    K.  Criteria for Accepting a Trawl
        If the trawl is retrieved with little or no catch
        in the cod-end, its acceptability will be
        evaluated according to whether the trawl was
        conducted properly.  The criteria used to evaluate
        the success of any trawl include making sure that
        proper depth, scope, speed, and distance (or
        duration) were maintained, whether the net was
        fouled (net tangled), and whether the catch shows
        evidence that it was on the bottom (e.g., rocks,
        benthic invertebrates, benthic fish) .  If any of
        trawl procedures were not followed, if the net was
        fouled or torn (the tear must be sufficient to
        allow escapement), or if there was no evidence of
        contact with the bottom (downloading the Lotek
        information can be useful), the trawl will be
        considered unacceptable and the site will be
        retrawled.  When evaluating the situation to
        decide whether to abandon or retrawl a station,
        the Cruise Leader should keep in mind that the
        goal is to collect the best sample possible.  If a
        retrieved net has been torn sufficiently to allow
        escapement during the course of a trawl, the
        station will be abandoned.  If the trawl hangs up
        on the bottom, the site can be resampled or
        abandoned at the discretion of the Cruise Leader.
        If retrawling that station proves unsuccessful
        after another two attempts, the site will be
        abandoned .    L.  Sample Processing  Sorting  The
        trawl catch will be sorted on deck into
        containers.  The catch should initially be rough
        sorted into major categories (e.g., urchins,
        shrimp, other invertebrates, flatfishes,
        rockfishes, other fishes).  The categories used
        are not important, but it is more efficient to
        sort into rough categories before identifying
        organisms to species. Trawl debris should also be
        sorted into containers for processing.
