<p>Giant Kelp line culture suitability within the areas identified as having opportunity for Giant Kelp line culture. The scores are on a 0–1 scale to indicate areas where conditions are more favorable and conflicts are lower for each species–gear combination, based on the input data and scoring framework. Scores are relative and not comparable across species or gear types. Results are classified into five categories using ArcGIS Pro quantiles (“Low,” “Moderately Low,” “Moderate,” “Moderately High,” and “High”). </p>
