Surveys offshore of Point Buchon, California, were conducted to map surficial geology and benthic habitat as part of the USGS California Seafloor Mapping Program, a collaboration with California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These data are intended to provide regional bathymetric information in California State waters for offshore resource and ecosystem management. Analysis of the data was funded by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management California Deepwater Investigations and Groundtruthing I project (Interagency Agreement M17PG00021).This data release is part of USGS Data Series 781 (Golden, 2019), which can be found at https://doi.org/10.3133/ds781.
