The Gulf of Mexico GIS database is intended to organize and display USGS held data and provide on-line (WWW) access to the data and/or metadata. Purpose: This GIS data layer data layer contains the location of hydrocarbon seep sites that have chemosynthetic organisms associated with them from the continental slope in the Gulf of Mexico. The information compiled in This GIS data layer was derived from a publication by Kennicutt and others (1988).

Process_Step: Process_Description: Coordinates for seep sites in the Gulf of Mexico were taken from Table 1 of a publication by Kennicutt and others (1988) and entered into a spreadsheet. The coordinates are in pairs representing the start and end of trawls where seep communities were recovered.
