Marine turtle stranding data - Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network (STSSN)

The Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network (STSSN) was formally established in 1980 to collect information on and document strandings of marine turtles along the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts. The network encompasses the coastal areas of the eighteen state region from Maine through Texas, and includes portions of the U.S. Caribbean.   Data are compiled through the efforts of network participants who document marine turtle strandings in their respective areas and contribute those data to the centralized STSSN data base.  Using the online reports, one can obtain basic summarized stranding information for the years 1980 to present. Queries can include Year, Month, Region, Zone, State, County, and Species. The data used to generate the reports have been verified, however they are subject to change if additional data are received.

Atlantic menhaden adult tagging study

Atlantic menhaden are a schooling forage fish species, which are subject to a large commercial purse seine fishery.  Atlantic menhaden are harvested for reduction into fish oil and fish meal products.  Historically, the Atlantic menhaden fishery was one of the largest by volume in the United States.  Thus, scientists and managers wanted a better understanding of Atlantic menhaden life history including movements on an annual basis.  As a consequence, an adult tagging study was conducted from 1966-1971.  Adult fish were tagged each year with small metal tags inserted into the abdominal cavity of the fish.  Fish were then released.  Recaptures of fish occurred at the reduction plants.  Magnets were placed in each plant along most of the east coast of the United States.  A total of five magnets were placed throughout the plant in order to collect the metal tags as the fish were processed.  Magnets were checked each day or two to collect any tags that had become attached to the magnets.  As part of this project, a sub-sample of fish were aged at the Beaufort Laboratory.  Tags and data on the collected tags were then returned to the Beaufort Laboratory.

Pelagic Longline Survey (2005)

The Southeast Fisheries Science Center Mississippi Laboratories conducts standardized fisheries independent resource surveys in the Gulf of Mexico to provide abundance and distribution information to support regional and international stock assessments.  A pilot pelagic longline survey was conducted in 2005 in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The objective of the survey was to examine the feasibility of using pelagic longline gear to collect fisheries independent data on stocks of offshore fishes and to establish protocols for future use of data.  Additional objectives included examining the distribution and relative abundance of pelagic fishes in the region and to collect biological and environmental data.

South Atlantic Shrimp System

The SEFSC, in cooperation with the South Atlantic states, collects South Atlantic shrimp data from dealers and fishermen. These data are collected to provide catch, value, area caught, and effort data for individual commercial fishing trips. It should be noted that some states are not providing effort data. Although this objective is never totally achieved, the SEFSCs data do provide a near-census of the commercial catches, the majority of which are for consolidated trips

Untrawlable Habitat Strategic Initiative (2014 - 2015)

The Southeast Fisheries Science Center Mississippi Laboratories conducts standardized fisheries independent resource surveys in the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and U.S. Caribbean to provide abundance and distribution information to support regional and international stock assessments.  In FY2014 and FY2015, the NMFS Advanced Science and Technology Working Group funded the Untrawlable Habitat Strategic Initiative to execute a testbed study designed to evaluate the performance of transitional advanced technologies.  This study included a testbed range of acoustic and optical sensors to measure sampling performance and fish reactions to alternative sampling platforms (e.g. stationary, AUV and towed optical systems) in untrawlable habitats (e.g. reef).  Biological data include species specific fish abundance, fish density, behavioral responses.  Abiotic data include GIS information such as bathymetry, camera and vehicle position, time and date stamp.

Mangrove study examining seasonal and spatial variation in fish taxonomic composition and diversity in North Atlantic Ocean from 1998-08-17 to 2023-09-01 (NCEI Accession 0159580)

Southern Biscayne Bay's shoreline fish community been monitored visually twice a year since 1998 to compare fish use of mangrove prop root habitats along the mainland with that along the leeward side of the northernmost Florida Keys.  This has been pursued by examining seasonal and spatial variation in fish taxonomic composition and diversity as well as variation in the frequency of occurrence, density and size structure of dominant fish taxa that occupy these mangrove lined shorelines.  The purpose of this MAP activity is to ensure the continuation and spatial expansion of this 14-year baseline time-series with an emphasis on evaluating relationships between the shoreline fish community and variation in salinity/freshwater flow

Congressional Supplemental Reef Fish Vertical Line Survey (2011)

The Southeast Fisheries Science Center Mississippi Laboratories conducts standardized fisheries independent resource surveys in the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and U.S. Caribbean to provide abundance and distribution information to support regional and international stock assessments.  The congressional supplemental sampling program (CSSP) was started in 2011 with the intent to provide additional information on key fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), create a truly synoptic survey, increase precision of relative abundance estimates, and to evaluate selectivity issues between gears and hook sizes. The survey was conducted on the continental shelf of the northern Gulf of Mexico from Brownsville, Texas to the southwest coast of Florida from April 7 â October 25, 2011. Contract vessels provided captains and deck-crew, while the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) provided scientific crew. Two longline and one vertical line vessel sampled east GOM sites while two longline and one vertical line vessel simultaneously sampled west GOM sites. Vessels were deployed as close in time as possible to ensure temporal overlap and to provide as synoptic a GOM-wide data set as possible.  Randomly selected stations are restricted from being chosen within the boundaries of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (Stetson Bank, West Flower Garden Bank and East Flower Garden Bank), the Madison-Swanson and Steamboat Lumps marine protected areas, the Florida Middle Grounds, within 1 nautical mile (nm) of oil and gas platform structures, and within 1 nm of any other station in the stratum.  All gear deployments were monitored using a shipboard SCS/FSCS computer system operated with weatherproof laptop computers with touch screen options. SCS/FSCS software will allow the acquisition of data to describe set and haul-back events (GMT time/date stamp, position and any other connected ship sensors). Environmental data was collected using a Seabird CTD profiler during fishing gear soaks to obtain temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen profiles.  Set and catch data were ingested into an Oracle data set and stored as a relational data set.
