Description
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 195 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Geographic Coverage
This material was collected off California, Western Santa Barbara Channel and Santa Maria Basin, from a grid of 98 stations between Point Estero and Gaviota from 1986 to 1988. Depths ranged from 50 to 930 m. One to 4 box cores were taken in soft sediments at each station. Latitude and longitude data are available for each station. See attached map.

Taxonomic Coverage
886 benthic soft-bottom taxa representing 15 phyla were collected during MMS-CAMP. The number was expected to change as revisions were made during Phase III. Most of these are now at the Museum, minus those species represented by single specimens which were taken for the voucher collections. Polychaetes and crustaceans (mostly peracarids) were the most abundant, followed by molluscs and other phyla.

Additional Metadata
| Purpose | This project is more commonly referred to by the acronym MMS-CAMP (MMS Contract No. 14-12-0001-30262). This program was designed to monitor potential environmental changes at a series of regional stations and at two arrays of site-specific stations near oil production platforms in the Western Santa Barbara Channel and Santa Maria Basin region of the California OCS. Platform Hidalgo (Lease P-0450) off Point Arguello was selected for hard-bottom, site-specific monitoring, and the site of the proposed (but never built) Platform Julius (Lease P-0409) off Point Sal was selected for soft-bottom, site-specific monitoring. Specific objectives of the program were: (1) to detect and measure potential long-term (or short-term) changes in the marine environment adjacent to oil and gas platforms, and (2) to determine whether changes observed in the marine environment during the monitoring period are caused by drilling-related activities or are a product of natural processes. As a federally-funded project, the organisms resulting from these studies were destined to go to the National Museum, Smithsonian Institution. Leslie Harris (Polychaete Collections Manager) was involved in all three phases of the project prior to her coming to the Museum. While employed by the Allan Hancock Foundation (AHF-USC) she persuaded Dr. Meredith Jones, head of the MMS collection unit at the Smithsonian, that the bulk-collection specimens should be left on the west coast for the benefit of local taxonomists and more specifically, donated to the AHF-USC (polychaetes) and NHMLAC (all non-polychaetes). In 1988 the polychaetes were given to the NHMLAC as part of the larger AHF-USC Polychaete Collection donation. |
