Models were built at a 500 x 500 m spatial resolution with a range of physical, chemical, and environmental variables thought to influence the distribution of deep-sea corals. Models were generated using records, from a variety of sources, reliably identified at the order and suborder levels including Alcyoniina, Antipatharia, Calcaxonia, Holaxonia, and Scleraxonia under the MaxEnt framework with a spatial spatial partitioning cross-validation approach. Further, models were generated for all taxa records with thresholded predicted outputs at the 0.5 and 0.75 cutoff presence/absence value. For more details on the construction of the models, see Guinotte and Davies (2014). All models are present in GeoTIFF format. The objectives of this project were to predict the presence of deep-sea coral off the U.S. West Coast Exclusive Economic Zone to help with scientific research and marine habitat mapping.
