Spring Bottom Trawl Survey

Data provided by  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

The standardized NEFSC Spring Bottom Trawl Survey was initiated in 1968 and covered an area from Cape Hatteras, NC, to Nova Scotia, Canada, at depths >27m. Throughout the years, coverage has extended as far south as Florida and sampling depths have ranged from HTML Markup Was Removed18 m, as the result of a change in the sampling platform. This has resulted in the exclusion of many inshore strata.
