The seafloor off Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz County,
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)
