Influence of the continental shelf and National Marine Sanctuaries (NMS) on animal, cumulative impact and cumulative utilization and impact (CUI) distributions. The first three columns represent the number of core cells for each group found on and off the shelf, as well as the percent of total cells in parentheses; the fourth through sixth columns represent the same thing for the NMS. The mean values portion of the table indicates whether significant differences were found between the mean values of animal utilization distribution (UDs), cumulative impact distribution and CUI. Stars between columns indicate a significant difference between on and off shelf or in and out of NMS means within a species group (P<0.001). Within each column, groups with overlapping letters (a, b, c) were significantly different (one-factor ANOVA and Tukey's HSD tests, P<0.05); all species combined were not included in this analysis.
