EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During HB1502
Ecosystem Monitoring (HB1502, EK60). The Ecosystem Monitoring (aka Ecomon) survery
uses bongo and CTD sampling to monitor and map the distribution of zooplankton, krill
and smaller organisms) and the physical environment. The survey has been conducted
four times per year (although fewer times in recent years) in each season on the continental
shelf from Cape Hatteras, NC to the Canadian waters of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Acoustic data are occasionally collected. Marine mammal and bird observations have
been collected in the past.
