Abstract
Kelp plants were tagged monthly with drifters in the Santa Barbara Channel between November of 2015 and December of 2017. This dataset contains GPS positions of freely drifting kelp plants (nominally) every 10 minutes. Tagged kelp plants begin at one of three kelp forests (Mohawk, Hope Ranch, or Isla Vista) off the Santa Barbara coast. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/739111
