SEAFLOOR HAZARDS SURVEY, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

In the summer of 1989 the California State Lands Commission contracted Sachse Engineering Associates, Inc. to perform a multisensor survey of the seafloor in California State Waters to locate and identify hazards to the local fishing interests. The purpose of the survey was to complete a seafloor hazards analysis of all objects that may impact dragfishing nets and equipment. Search, location and identification of the anomalous objects was completed using a side scan sonar, marine magnetometer and a remotely operated vehicle. The State Lands Commission intends to use the positive identification and location of these targets to, whenever necessary and possible, see to their removal from the seafloor.
