ME70 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During PC1304
Southeast Fishery-Independent Survey (PC1304, ME70). The Southeast Fishery-Independent
Survey (SEFIS) was created by the National Marine Fisheries Service in 2010 and operates
out of the NOAA Beaufort Laboratory. The survey conducts fishery-independent sampling
and related applied research, focusing on the assessment of spatial variability in
distribution and abundance of marine fish species within the snapper-grouper complex,
via data collected from fish traps, video cameras, and acoustics. The NOAA ship Pisces
departed Cape Canaveral, FL on 12 June 2013 for a SEFIS research cruise in continental
shelf and shelf-break waters off the southeastern U.S. During this survey, 258 sq
km of multibeam data were collected from 40 discrete areas between 28.2 Deg N and
32.1 Deg N. A total of 399 concomitant trap-camera samples were collected. SEFIS

Purpose | Increase the spatial footprint and sample size of fishery-independent sampling in US south Atlantic continental shelf waters (roughtly between Cape Canaveral, FL and Savannah, GA). Mapping data are used to improve survey design and to expand knowledge of hardbottom habitats in the southeast US. |
