Description
2008 Outer Limits Coast. This cruise implemented the COAST protocols at Cordell Bank and Fanny Shoals in collaboration with the Cordell Bank and Gulf of the Farallons National Marine Sanctuaries and the Golden Gate Sportfishing Association. The Collaborative Optically-assisted Acoustic Survey Technique (COAST) was developed at SWFSC to survey rockfish dispersions and abundances, by species. The technique uses historical fishing maps to initially define the survey sites; active-acoustics to map the dispersion and abundance of rockfish; and video and still images to estimate the mixture of species and their sizes. The cameras are deployed from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The physical oceanographic habitat is characterized using a CTD with a dissolved oxygen sensor.
