The survey footprint was formed by dissolving grid points into a single polygon, outlining the surveyed regions in coastal waters.- Maryland Bottom Trawl ExtentMapping of the Maryland Coastal Bays Fisheries Investigations areas, including trawl and beach seine surveys conducted since 1972/89.This extent outlines the survey areas of Maryland Coastal Bays Fisheries Investigations, conducted by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The trawl surveys, using a 16 ft semi-balloon trawl net, are carried out monthly from April to October. Seine surveys, using a 100 ft bag seine, are conducted in June and September. The surveys target key fish species in the Coastal Bays, providing data for management and conservation efforts.- Massachusetts Bottom Trawl ExtentGeographic footprint of the MDMF Bottom Trawl Survey in Massachusetts state waters, conducted biannually since 1978 in spring and fall.This extent represents the footprint of the MDMF Bottom Trawl Survey. The survey is designed on a stratified random basis across five bio-geographic regions and six depth zones in Massachusetts state waters. It aims to collect fishery-independent data on key finfish resources like winter flounder, summer flounder, Atlantic cod, scup, and black sea bass. The survey assesses species distribution, quantity, size, and age composition, providing an unbiased index of population quantity.- NEAMAP Bottom Trawl ExtentGeographical footprint of the NEAMAP survey area, covering coastal waters from Cape Cod, MA to Cape Hatteras, NC, since 2006.This extent delineates the area surveyed by NEAMAP, a collaborative state/federal initiative led by the Virginia Institute for Marine Science (VIMS). Conducted bi-annually since 2006, the survey estimates the abundance, biomass, and biological characteristics of finfishes and select invertebrates in coastal waters using a bottom trawl.- New Jersey Delaware Bay Juvenile Trawl ExtentGeographical footprint of the New Jersey Delaware Bay Finfish Trawl Survey, conducted monthly from April to October since 1991.This extent represents the area surveyed by the New Jersey DEP's Division of Fish & Wildlife's Delaware Bay Finfish Trawl Survey. Using a 16-foot otter trawl on the R/V Zephyrus, the survey monitors juvenile finfish populations in the bay, collecting data on species abundance and size. The survey complements similar efforts on Delaware's side of the bay, providing critical insights into estuarine dependent finfish.- New Jersey Ocean Stock Assessment ExtentSpatial footprint of the New Jersey Ocean Stock Assessment Program Trawl Survey, conducted in the Atlantic Ocean between Sandy Hook, NJ, and Cape Henlopen, Delaware, since 1989.This extent maps the area surveyed by the New Jersey Ocean Stock Assessment Program, conducted five times a year using the 81-foot research vessel Seawolf. The survey samples nearly 200 sites along the coast, using a 30-meter otter trawl net in depths of 18–90 feet. It's vital for monitoring fish populations and guiding fisheries management actions in New Jersey's coastal waters.- North Carolina Juvenile Anadromous (P100) ExtentGeographic footprint of the Program 100 Juvenile Anadromous Survey, monitoring juvenile alosines and striped bass in the Albemarle Sound area and its tributaries since 1984.This extent delineates the footprint of the Program 100 Juvenile Anadromous Survey. The survey, conducted from June to October, utilizes semi-balloon trawls and bag seines to monitor the relative abundance, growth, and distribution of juvenile alosines and striped bass. Sampling occurs at multiple stations across the Albemarle Sound area, providing key data for evaluating the impact of fishing and environmental conditions on marine resource distribution and abundance.- North Carolina Nursery Area Juv. Survey (NC120) ExtentGeographic footprint of the North Carolina Estuarine Juvenile Trawl Survey, conducted annually in May and June since 1978 in shallow waters from Roanoke Sound to Shallotte River.This extent depicts the footprint of the North Carolina Estuarine Juvenile Trawl Survey by NC-DMF. The survey uses a 10.5-foot head rope otter trawl at 105 core stations to monitor juvenile fish populations. It provides crucial data for identifying primary nursery areas, assessing fish stock, and understanding the impacts of environmental changes.- North Carolina Pamlico Sound Survey (N195) ExtentGeographical footprint of the North Carolina Pamlico Sound Survey in the Pamlico, Neuse, and Pungo rivers, ongoing since 1987This extent outlines the survey area of the North Carolina Pamlico Sound Survey, conducted bi-annually since 1987. Using stratified-random sampling with double rigged demersal mongoose trawls, it covers various habitat types within Pamlico Sound. The data, including environmental measurements and species counts, supports the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) and contributes to regional fishery and ecological studies.- Peconic Bay Small Mesh Trawl ExtentGeographic footprint of the NYSDEC Peconic Bay Trawl Survey, conducted annually since 1987 in the Peconic Estuary.This extent represents the footprint of the NYSDEC Peconic Bay Trawl Survey. The survey, operating with the R/V David H. Wallace, covers 77 station blocks in the Peconic Estuary. Conducted weekly from May to October, it assesses the abundance of key commercial and recreational finfish and invertebrates, providing vital data for fisheries management.- Rhode Island Narragansett Bay Trawl ExtentGeographic footprint of the Rhode Island Coastal Trawl Survey, conducted by RIDEM since 1979 in Narragansett Bay and surrounding waters.This extent delineates the footprint of the Rhode Island Coastal Trawl Survey, carried out by the RIDEM Marine Fisheries Section. Utilizing a 2-seam otter trawl, the survey covers 13 fixed stations in Narragansett Bay and additional stations in Rhode Island and Block Island Sound. The survey, conducted since 1979, provides crucial data on the abundance and diversity of finfish and crustaceans in Rhode Island's coastal waters.- SEAMAP-SA Coastal Trawl Survey ExtentGeographic footprint of the SEAMAP-SA Coastal Trawl Survey, spanning from Cape Hatteras, NC to Cape Canaveral, FL, conducted triannually since 1986.This extent represents the footprint of the SEAMAP-SA Coastal Trawl Survey conducted by MRRI staff and funded by NMFS. Covering shallow waters at depths of 15 to 30 feet, the survey samples a wide range of coastal species, including key finfish and decapods, across the Southeast region. Utilizing the R/V Lady Lisa and Falcon Trawls, the survey gathers vital data for long-term research and fisheries management.
