Data provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
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.
