1 temperature, that it's not a good indicator species for monitoring, as 



2 are some of these that are relatively endemic year round. 



3 A lot of temperatures in these areas are 9, 10, 11 degrees 



4 centigrade. These animals, some of them, are very responsive to just a 



5 1 or 2 degree or 0.1 degree change. This is a mild pueblo village 



6 community in Veatch Canyon. 



7 This is a pueblo village community occupying the top 20 percent of 



8 all the canyon head environments. This is a lobster in the lower right 



9 hand corner in this very typical excavation, it's about 1-pounder, 1 or 



10 2-pounder. There are primarily lobster occupations out here at these 



11 depths. 



12 This is a type 1 bottom, not much to say about it. It's very 



13 featureless and three-dimensional, just a few yards and getting to what 



14 superficially may look like a type 1, but really is a thin veneer of 



15 overlying silt with an underlying silt substrate into which there is 



16 extensive erosion, either moderate to extensive erosion. 



17 We're going to zoom in on some of these lobster habitats so you 



18 can get a closer, clear resolution and definition of what they are. 



19 Type 1, the type 1 and the pueblo village communities interchange 



20 rapidly and vary tremendously in overall size. 



21 This is a tilefish coming up here, about 20-pounder, found out in 



22 the open foraging for food. It is going to dive into a very shallow 



23 depression to try to get away from us here. You can see it's only about 



24 a third covered. 



25 This a crab right down here. Again, these are relatively high- 



26 energy erosional types of environments. Short of a massive oil spill 



27 right now, I doubt that these environments would show any commercial 



28 impact. I would not make that statement with regard to a depositional 



29 environment. 



30 Here's another type one, quickly leading into some pueblo village. 



31 It's about a 30 degree sloping silt substrate bottom, Veatch Canyon, 



32 west wall, one of our site-specific stations.
