The purpose of the Coral Reef Evaluation and Monitoring Project (CREMP) is to monitor the status and trends of selected reefs in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary(FKNMS). CREMP assessments have been conducted annually at fixed sites since 1996 and data collected provides information on the temporal changes in benthic cover and diversity of stony corals and associated marine flora and fauna. The core field methods continue to be underwater videography and timed coral species inventories. Findings presented in this report include data from 109 stations at 37 sites sampled from 1996 through 2008 in the Florida Keys and 1999 through 2008 in the Dry Tortugas. The report describes the annual differences (between 2007 and 2008) in the percent cover of major benthic taxa (stony corals, octocorals, sponges, and macroalgae), mean coral species richness and the incidence of stony coral conditions. Additionally, it examines the long-term trends of the major benthic taxa, five coral complex, Montastraea cavernosa, Colpophyllia natans, Siderastrea siderea, and Porites astreoides) and the clionaid sponge, Cliona delitrix. It is one of the longest running coral reef monitoring projects in south Florida and has been extremely important in documenting the temporal changes that have occurred in recent years.

Abstract:
The 1994 Amendments to the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) mandates periodic assessments of all cetacean stocks in US waters. To fulfill this mandate for the Gulf of Maine/Bay of Fundy harbor porpoise stock, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has conducted line transect abundance surveys during the summers of 1991, 1992, 1995, and 1999 and provided annual estimates of harbor porpoise by-catch from US sink gillnet fisheries. As well, incidental takes of bycatch in the Canadian sink gillnet and herring weir fisheries have also been documented.

Abundance estimates increased from 37,000 in 1991 to 74,000 in 1995 (Table 1A; Smith et al. 1993, Palka 1995a, Palka 1996a). By-catch in the US Northeast sink gillnet fishery decreased from 2,900 animals in 1990 to 332 in 1998 (Table 1B; Bravington and Bisack 1996; Bisack 1997; Rossman and
Merrick 1999). Harbor porpoise by-catch in the US mid-Atlantic coastal gillnet fisheries varied from a low of 103 in 1995 to a high of 572 in 1997 (Rossman and Merrick 1999). By-catch in the Canadian sink gillnet fishery decreased from 424 in 1993 to 10 in 1998 (Trippel et al. 1996, 1999).
By-catch in the Canadian herring weir fishery decreased from 33 observed takes in 1993 to 2 in 1998 (Waring et al. 1999). Study area, field procedures and analysis methods used in the 1999 abundance survey were similar to those used during previous surveys (Smith et al. 1993, Palka 1995a, Palka
1996a). This paper presents a description of the field procedures, analysis methods and results from the 1999 survey and compares the abundance estimates from 1991 to 1999.

Abstract:
This dataset is from the Oregon and Washington marine mammal and seabird surveys studies: Oregon/Washington aerial [birds and mammals] study code: OP, contract number: 14-12-0001-30426,
Principal investigators: G. A. Green, Ebasco Environmental, Bellevue, Washington, M. L. Bonnell and K. T. Briggs, Ecological Consulting, Inc., Portland, Oregon. 

Time period: April 1989 through October 1990 

Study area: Pacific Ocean waters of Oregon and Washington from the coast to approximately 60 nautical miles offshore. 

Methodology: Aerial surveys were conducted along 32 pre-established transects designed to systematically sample marine mammal and seabird abundance in all waters of the study area. Coastal surveys and one shelf break survey were also conducted. Standard transects provided systematic coverage of shelf, slope, and offshore waters in the study area. Sightings of seabirds, pinnipeds, cetaceans, and turtles were recorded. Seabird sightings were recorded only on the shaded side of the aircraft within a strip transect of 50 m width. Marine mammal and turtle sightings were recorded within an unbounded corridor. Declination angle was measured and noted for each marine mammal/turtle sightings and later used to calculate a probability density function of frequency with right-angle sighting distance. Navigation was by Loran and VLF-Omega. One ship survey was also conducted from aboard the NOAA ship Miller Freeman during August 1989. 

Databases produced: 1) sightings of seabirds and marine mammals on 12 aerial surveys and one ship cruise, and 2) sightings of cetaceans on 12 aerial surveys and one ship cruise.

Purpose:
Objectives of the study were to review and analyze all available literature and databases concerning marine mammal and seabird diversity, distribution, and abundance in the Oregon-Washington coastal and offshore areas; to conduct field surveys over a 18-month period and to prepare reports summarizing the findings.
