Abstract
The seafloor off Lighthouse Point Park, Santa Cruz, California,
is extremely varied, with sandy flats, boulder fields, faults,
and complex bedrock ridges. These ridges support rich
marine ecosystems; some of them form the "reefs" that
produce world-class surf breaks. Colors indicate seafloor
depth, from red-orange (about 2 meters or 7 feet) to magenta
(25 meters or 82 feet).
