3.1.4. Mapping depth and light
In general, KdPAR was highest nearshore, particularly along the north shores of the Bermuda islands in enclosed harbours and sounds ( Fig. 6a). KdPAR values across most of the platform were PF 299 generalities, the spatial pattern of KdPAR on the platform is as complex as the seafloor topography and cannot be described as a simple trend from offshore sites to inshore sites.

As a trichomes consequence of the clear water, indicated by generally low KdPAR, and the relatively shallow depth of the entire study area, most of the bottom on the platform received more than 20% of I0 ( Fig. 6b); only in deeper basins and in some of the more turbid bays and harbours did
