122
				ISP Alginates (formerly Kelco Co.) has collected
123
				information on the abundance of giant kelp (
124
				<emphasis>Macrocystis pyrifera</emphasis>
125
				) in California and Mexico from routine aerial surveys
126
				since 1957. The standard protocol consists of an
127
				observer visually estimating the amount of harvestable
128
				giant kelp biomass within designated kelp beds from a
129
				small fixed-wing aircraft. Observations were recorded on
130
				paper data sheets in the field and archived in notebooks
131
				housed at ISP Alginates. With cooperation from ISP
132
				Alginates, the SBCLTER converted ISP Alginates long-term
133
				records of giant kelp biomass into a digital format. The
134
				database consists of a data table containing kelp
135
				biomass, a catalog of maps. The format ISP Alginates
136
				used to report kelp abundance data changed periodically
137
				over the course of the collecting period. These details,
138
				pus descriptions of designated kelp beds are described
139
				in the protocol document.

					ISP Alginates (formerly Kelco Co.) has collected
435
					information on the abundance of giant kelp
436
					(Macrocystis pyrifera) in California and Mexico from
437
					routine aerial surveys from 1958. The standard
438
					protocol consists of an observer visually estimating
439
					the amount of harvestable giant kelp biomass within
440
					designated kelp beds from a small fixed-wing
441
					aircraft. Observations are recorded on paper data
442
					sheets in the field and archived in notebooks housed
443
					at ISP Alginates. With cooperation from ISP
444
					Alginates, SBC-LTER converted ISP Alginates
445
					long-term records of giant kelp biomass into a
446
					digital format. This document describes the
447
					organization of the Historical Kelp database and the
448
					methods that were used to create it. The format ISP
449
					Alginates used to report kelp abundance data changed
450
					periodically over the course of the collecting
451
					period. This document also describes the steps taken
452
					to standardize the historical records of kelp
453
					biomass into a consistent format.
