		<abstract>

			<para>

				ISP Alginates (formerly Kelco Co.) has collected

				information on the abundance of giant kelp (

				<emphasis>Macrocystis pyrifera</emphasis>

				) in California and Mexico from routine aerial surveys

				since 1957. The standard protocol consists of an

				observer visually estimating the amount of harvestable

				giant kelp biomass within designated kelp beds from a

				small fixed-wing aircraft. Observations were recorded on

				paper data sheets in the field and archived in notebooks

				housed at ISP Alginates. With cooperation from ISP

				Alginates, the SBCLTER converted ISP Alginates long-term

				records of giant kelp biomass into a digital format. The

				database consists of a data table containing kelp

				biomass, a catalog of maps. The format ISP Alginates

				used to report kelp abundance data changed periodically

				over the course of the collecting period. These details,

				pus descriptions of designated kelp beds are described

				in the protocol document.
