The original version of this Article contained errors in the Abstract.

“Sponge biomass surfaces created from research survey data using both random forest modeling and a gridded surface revealed 231,140 t of sponges in the area. About 65% of that biomass was protected by current fisheries closures.”

now reads:

“Sponge biomass surface created from research survey data using random forest modeling revealed 231,136 t of sponges in the area. About 42% of that biomass was protected by current fisheries closures.”

This error has now been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
