EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During EX2302

From May 5 â 26, 2023 (Seattle, Washington, to Dutch Harbor, Alaska), NOAA Ocean Exploration conducted transit and mapping operations off the coast of Washington State, the Gulf of Alaska, and along the Aleutian Islands. The ship departed from Seattle, Washington.  Expedition EX-23-02 collected data supporting the Seascape Alaska initiative and used a small, human portable AUV in partnership with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) to aid in locating an aircraft lost in the Aleutian Islands during World War II. Transit mapping data was collected from Seattle, Washington, across the Gulf of Alaska, and along the northern and southern edges of the Aleutian Islands, extending from approximately Unga Island to Gareloi Island. Primary mapping activities focused on the area connecting the Aleutian Arc and the southern end of Bowers Ridge and the area surrounding Bogoslof Island. The ship returned to port in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. The exploratory mapping operations conducted on this expedition will aid in future characterization of these unexplored areas and help initial characterization in the region.

EK80 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During GU1902

Operational objectives are to: 
(1) collect underway data using TSG, SCS, and ADCP; 
(2) complete CTD and bongo operations at stations throughout area; 
(3) collect marine mammal and seabird observations; 
(4) collect data and imagery of phytoplankton and faciliates using an Imaging FlowCytobot unit and optical measurements of the sea surface water using bio-optical instruments, both of which will be plumbed into the Scientific Seawater System; 
(5) collect plankton samples with vertical plankton ring net tows to compare with bongo tows; 
(6) collect microzooplankton samples using 61 cm bongo (333 / 150 micron mesh nets) at Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) stations (A17-SNE, A18-SNE, A19-SNE, A20-SNE); and 
(7) collect radiometry measurements for satellite validation.

The Ecosystem Monitoring surveys contribute to stock assessments, protected species
assessments, ecosystem assessments, and climate assessments. As such, the surveys are multi-objective. Ichthyoplankton and hydrographic data are collected for stock assessments. A range of ecosystem observations are made, from nutrients and ocean acidification to marine mammals, and a number of the measurements are used in NEFSC ecosystem assessment products. The ocean acidification and hydrographic measurements are incorporated into the regionâs climate assessments.
This survey is multidisciplinary and as such will integrate all these operations. The cruise plan will evolve with input from scientists as well as the officers and crew of NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter. A post-cruise meeting will focus on lessons learned and improvements to make for subsequent surveys of this type.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During EX2307

From September 23 â October 14, 2023 (Seward, Alaska to San Francisco, California), NOAA Ocean Exploration completed Seascape Alaska 6: Gulf of Alaska Transit Mapping (EX2307). Operations during this 22-day expedition aided in closing bathymetric gaps in the Gulf of Alaska, British Columbia, Canada, and off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. EX2307 collected 47,899 square kilometers of seafloor bathymetry, of which 40,108 square kilometers were within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone deeper than 200 m. During mapping operations, NOAA Ocean Exploration simultaneously collected EM 304 multibeam sonar bathymetry observations and Simrad EK60/EK80 split-beam fisheries sonar observations of biologic material in the water column, as well as Knudsen 3260 sub-bottom profiler observations of sub-seafloor geologic structure and sediment. Focused survey regions included closing bathymetric gaps in the Gulf of Alaska, Canada, and California. An additional focused survey in the Cascadia margin off the coast of Washington improved data quality in a region of interest for geological hazards. The exploratory mapping operations conducted during this expedition will provide initial characterization of the region, as well as data to support further exploration.

EK80 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During GU1903

C. Operating Area (include optional map/figure showing op area)
Western Atlantic along the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Coast, cross-shelf, through Gulf Stream, out to blue
water. Operations will be conducted in and around York Bight, Long Island Sound and Cape Cod.
Gulf Stream eddies will be sampled along the way.
Plan includes sampling transient features present in the region at the time of the cruise. Cruise
begins in Norfolk, VA and will end in Norfolk, VA, US. Tentative cruise track (Fig. 1) is shown
below along with daily locations in Table 1. Cruise track will be adjusted to maximize
characterization of processes and features present during time of cruise. In addition, one of the
issues with our work is that we need cloud free skies to maximize our work. We will be working
with the crew to make adjustments to the cruise track daily.

D1. VIIRS Cal/Val Objectives
Observe and measure inherent and apparent optical properties of water masses for three primary
objectives: 1) JPSS VIIRS ocean color satellite validation; 2) Inter-calibration and intercomparison
of validation techniques and measurements; and 3) optical characterization of ocean
variability (i.e. coastal, near-shore, cross-shelf, eddies, fronts, filaments, blue water).

SB 535 Disadvantaged Communities 2017

<p>The California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) is responsible for identifying disadvantaged communities for purposes of the Cap-and-Trade funding program.  After reviewing the updated results from CalEnviroScreen 3.0 and taking into consideration previous comments and input received over the past two years, including workshops held in February 2017, CalEPA is designating the highest scoring 25% of census tracts from CalEnviroScreen 3.0 as disadvantaged communities.  Additionally, 22 census tracts that score in the highest 5% of CalEnviroScreen’s Pollution Burden, but do not have an overall CalEnviroScreen score because of unreliable socioeconomic or health data, are also designated as disadvantaged communities.</p>

Surface Water - 2017 California Water Quality Status Report

<p>The California Water Boards’ Water Data Center is proud to present the CA Water Quality Status Report.  This report is an annual data-driven snapshot of the Water Board's water quality and environmental data. This inaugural version of the report is based solely on the surface water datasets available via the [Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program (SWAMP)] (<a href="http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/swamp/">http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/swamp/</a>) and in future years we hope to expand this to include the groundwater, drinking water and water resource datasets available in our state.  Our goal is to use data to inform both data storytelling (as in this inaugural report) and water quality indicators, including watershed report cards.</p>
<p>The 2017 Water Quality Status Report is organized around seven major themes that our team thought both individually and collectively tell important stories about the overall health of our state’s surface waters.  Each theme-specific story includes a brief background, a data analysis summary, an overview of management actions, and access to the raw data.</p>
