Display Field: project_name
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolyline
Description: This layer represents planned transects from Center for Coastal Studies aerial surveys conducted from 2021-2024 in Cape Cod Bay. The Cape Cod Bay surveys are conducted from January through May and are typically conducted once a week during that period. The survey plane flies a series of east-west track lines that are spaced 1.5 nm apart. The waters off the eastern shore of the Cape are surveyed with a single track that runs north to south along the shoreline.
