Southeast Fishery-Independent Survey (PC1402, 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 Morehead city on 5 July 2014 for a SEFIS
research cruise in continental shelf and shelf-break waters off the southeastern U.S.
During this survey, 227 sq km of multibeam data were collected from 48 discrete areas
between 33.5 Deg N and 35.0 Deg N. A total of 391 concomitant trap-camera samples
were collected.

Data Update Frequency | Not planned |
Purpose | Increase the spatial footprint and sample size of fishery-independent sampling in Onslow and Long Bay continental shelf waters (roughtly between Cape Lookout and Cape Fear, NC). Mapping data are used to improve survey design and to expand knowledge of hardbottom habitats in the southeast US. |
