National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Assessment of coral reef fish communities in Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary from 2018-06-11 to 2018-06-14 (NCEI Accession 0208240)

The National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) assessed coral reef fish communities at Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS) in the Gulf of Mexico using the 25m Fish Transect method. This method collects and reports information on species composition, density, size structure, abundance and derived metrics (e.g., species richness, diversity). Data are collected using stratified random survey design in hardbottom and coral reef habitats less than 30m in depth. Each of these data tables contain additional survey-specific data fields. For complete information and descriptions of attributes and data fields for all data tables, refer to the data dictionaries. Three datasets are provided under the fish protocols and are distributed as one compiled package: (1) Analysis Ready dataset, (2) Boatlog/Station dataset, and (3) raw QAQC'd sample data file. The methodology used for this survey can be found in the point count fish protocols. All three datasets contain data fields on general station information (survey strata, depth, rugosity). Each of these data tables contain additional survey-specific data fields. For complete information and descriptions of attributes and data fields for all data tables, refer to the data dictionaries.

Southeast Region Headboat Survey-Headboat Activity Report

HARs themselves are a quality assurance/compliance tracking tool used to verify the accuracy/completeness of the submitted trip reports.The trip (date, type, number of anglers) would be recorded on the HAR but the trip report data would be estimated so as to limit the effects of recall bias.To adjust for misreporting, port agents maintain a headboat activity report for each vessel by month and attempted to account for every day within the month.  Information for the headboat activity reports are obtained from office records, ticket agents, vessel logs, dock masters, etc.  Total estimated effort is divided by reported effort to calculate a value for correcting reported landings.

Cetacean visual observations using line-transect survey methods onboard the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter (GU) during the Atlantic Marine Assessment Program for Protected Species (AMAPPS) in the Western North Atlantic Ocean (survey GU2301) from 2023-02-04 to 2023-04-27. (NCEI Accession 0290563)

As part of the Atlantic Marine Assessment Program for Protected Species (AMAPPS), the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) conducted a shipboard survey of the U.S. waters of the Western North Atlantic (WNA) from approximately the 200m isobath out to the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The survey was conducted between February 4 and April 27, 2023 onboard the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter, for a total of 44 days at sea split into three survey legs. Multiple days were lost due to mechanical problems with the ship (Jan 23 to Feb 2) and unfavorable weather conditions (April 8 to 10). February 3 and April 28 were departure (start survey) and arrival (end survey) days, respectively. The survey was designed for a two-team independent visual observer approach with distance sampling to estimate the detection probabilities for marine mammal sightings. A sighting constituted a single or group of marine mammals (whales and dolphins) seen at the same location and time. This dataset includes marine mammal visual observation data and effort points with surveying conditions that can be used in abundance and density modeling per visual line-transect survey protocols. This dataset also includes opportunistic marine mammal photographs and non-marine mammal sightings such as sea turtles.

Oceanographic and fisheries data collected from NOAA and academic research vessels, and commercial menhaden vessels in Gulf of Mexico from 1988-06-14 to 1991-06-22 (NCEI Accession 0156304)

Oceanographic and fisheries data were collected during 1988 through 1991 through a multiagency research project to develop a remote sensing system to provide near real time image products to fishermen in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The data included surface water temperatures, salinities, and chlorophyll samples acquired by boats and vessels and fish catch information reported by menhaden spotter pilots and vessel captains. The environmental and fisheries data were acquired concurrently with overflights of the Airborne Ocean Color Imager (AOCI) carried on a Learjet operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The AOCI is a multispectral scanner and was configured with sensors to remotely sense water color in coastal and oceanic waters. The environmental and fisheries data were used to develop experimental data products that were distributed to fishermen in near real time. The study area encompassed the area from southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River to Marsh Island, Louisiana.  These are only the fisheries and environmental data.  Remotely sensed data are not available.

Larval fish dispersal in the Florida Current

Western boundary currents of the North Atlantic Ocean may transport larval fish considerable distances, resulting in unusual reports of tropical fish along the New England coast.  The Florida Current is an example of such a strong current, flowing northward past the Florida Keys and along the eastern shore of Florida.  Quarterly cruises across a 27N latitudinal transect of the Florida Current have been conducted since 2001 on the R/V F.G. Walton Smith, collecting physical oceanographic data in order to determine the total transport of water at this location.  Biological sampling was added during the 10-11 September and 23-24 November 2009 cruises.  This data complements the physical oceanographic findings so that the currents effect on larval distribution and seasonal variation can be assessed.  Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) measurements and ichthyoplankton samples were collected at stations from the Florida Coast to Little Bahama Bank.  Samples were collected at nine stations using ten-minute neuston tows with a 500 m mesh net.  Each sample was sorted, fish were identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible, and their distribution at each station was determined.  Larvae of over thirty families, including those ecologically and commercially valuable, such as Serranidae, Scombridae, Lutjanidae, and Istiophoridae, were identified, and their distribution is discussed.  Results from this study can provide a time series for larval distribution along this transect, and create a baseline for future research in this area.

Pelican Spit 1988-1997

Densities of nekton were measured in three created salt marshes to examine habitat development rate. All three marshes were created from dredged material from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Patterns of utilization suggest that marshes may reach its maximum habitat support function for some organisms in less than one year. However, comparisons with natural marshes suggest that created marshes function at lower levels than natural marshes in terms of supporting production of commercially important fishery species.

Sea Turtle Satellite Telemetry Data in North Atlantic Ocean from 2007-10-16 to 2010-11-26 (NCEI Accession 0159216)

Sea turtles captured in various fishing gear (pound nets, long haul seines, gill nets) were outfitted with satellite transmitters so that their movements, migratory pathways and foraging behavior could be tracked.  Despite their greater expense, satellite transmitters enable the researcher to determine long-range movements of sea turtles in comparison to acoustic and radio transmitters which delineate fine scale movements and habitat preferences.  Furthermore, satellite transmitters have the capability of measuring and recording water temperature along with dive depth and duration of each tagged sea turtle.  Finally, time spent on the surface can be measured and recorded.

Gulf of Mexico Protected Species Assessment Aerial Surveys

These data sets include a compilation of aerial line-transect surveys conducted over continental shelf waters of the Gulf of Mexico since 1992. The majority of these surveys are targeted to assess the abundance and spatial distribution of bottlenose dolphins and sea turtles between the Texas/Mexico border and the Florida Keys. Surveys are conducted in high-winged twin engine aircraft flying at altitudes of 600-750 feet. Visual observations of marine mammals, sea turtles, birds, and other species are recorded including species identifications, counts of animals. Surveys are conducted along line transects oriented perpendicular to the shoreline and follow protocols consistent with analysis using Distance approaches to estimate detection probability and abundance. These data have been used to provide abundance estimates for target species in annual Marine Mammal Protection Act Stock Assessment Reports.
