Description
Seafloor Characterization and Hydrographic Mapping of the New York Bight to Support Coastal and Ocean Planning (NF1709, EK60). Scientists will collect high resolution multibeam and acoustic fisheries data in mid-water\ndepths approximately 10 to 60 meters so as to continue to characterize seafloor habitats\nwithin New York Call Area. The objective of this project is to collect a multibeam\nbathymetry dataset with 100% seafloor ensonification, along with multibeam backscatter\nsuitable for seafloor characterization. Fishery acoustics data will be collected to\ncharacterize broad-scale fish abundance, biomass, and utilization patterns, as well as to\nlocate and document fish spawning aggregations. Multibeam data will be collected to\nconform to IHO Order 1 (less than 100m) and Order 2 (>100m) accuracy standards. The strategies\ndeveloped for each survey area will take into account the minimum depths, general\nbathymetry, and time allotment.
