EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During GU1304_123

Description

  1. Conduct visual line-transect surveys to estimate the abundance and spatial
    distribution of cetaceans in U.S. Atlantic waters.
  2. Conduct passive acoustic surveys simultaneous with visual surveys to
    provide supplemental information on cetacean abundance and spatial
    distribution.
  3. Collect tissue samples (biopsies) of select cetaceans from the bow of
    Gordon Gunter.
  4. Collect data on distribution and abundance of sea turtles, seabirds, and other
    marine life.
  5. Collect oceanographic and environmental data including scientific
    echosounders (EK60) and acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data to
    quantify acoustic backscatter due to small fish and zooplankton.
  6. Collect vertical profiles of hydrographic parameters (e.g., temperature,
    salinity, oxygen concentration) using CTD and XBTs.
