This georeferenced image represents 10 meter resolution bathymetry of an inshore portion of the NPS's Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument, south of St. John, US Virgin Islands. NOAA's NOS/NCCOS/CCMA Biogeography Team, in collaboration with NOAA vessel Nancy Foster and territory, federal, and private sector partners, acquired multibeam bathymetry data in the US Virgin Islands from 2/1/05 to 2/12/05. Data was acquired with a pole-mounted Reson 8101 ER multibeam echosounder (240 kHz) and processed by a NOAA contractor using CARIS HIPS v5.4 software. Data has all correctors applied (attitude, sound velocity) and has been reduced to mean lower low water (MLLW) using final approved tides from NOAA COOPS. Data is in UTM zone 20 north, datum NAD83. The processed CARIS data was used to generate a CARIS BASE surface -akin to a DTM- based on swath angle. Within CARIS, an imagery file with associated georeferencing was then exported from the BASE surface.The project was conducted to meet IHO Order 1 and 2 accuracy standards, dependant on the project area and depth. All users should individually evaluate the suitability of this data according to their own needs and standards.

Scientists from the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC), United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Pacific Biological Station (PBS), Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), Canada, collaborate for the biennial Integrated Acoustic and Trawl (IAT) Survey on Pacific Hake (Merluccius productus) off the West Coast of the United States and Canada. As newer vessels were preparing to come online, an Inter-Vessel Calibration (IVC) project was initiated in 2008 and continued in 2010. The primary goal of the IVC was to determine if there were differences in acoustic measurements between the various vessels used during IAT Survey. The IVC is a crucial component of continuing the long-term time series of IAT surveys, one that allows for the direct comparison of data that were collected historically to data collected on newer vessels. Acoustic data was collected, as well as trawl operations, similar to methods used in the IAT Survey. Analysis of the collected data is ongoing. Data collected from various acoustic equipment: in 2008, the Miller Freeman, Oscar Dyson, and the WE Ricker were used; in 2010, the Bell Shimada and the Miller Freeman.

The toxicity of sediments in Biscayne Bay and many adjoining tributaries was determined as part of a bioeffects assessments program managed by NOAA's National Status and Trends Program. Biscayne Bay was selected by NOAA for this survey because data from the NSandT Mussel Watch Program and data from previous surveys of the bay had shown a potential for toxicity and other adverse biological effects. In addition, no bay-wide information had been generated on the toxicological condition of the bay sediments and several agencies had indicated a need for this type of data and a willingness to assist NOAA in collecting them. The study area was defined as extending from Dumbfoundling Bay at the north end to Little Card Sound at the south end, seaward to the barrier islands or reef, and landward to the shoreline or saltwater control structures. This area was determined to encompass a total of 484 kilometers of the sea floor. During 1995 and 1996, 226 samples were collected from randomly-chosen locations and tested for toxicity and analyzed for chemical concentrations. Data from these tests and analyses are included in the report. Samples for benthic community analyses were collected at one-third of the stations; however, data from those analyses are not included in the report but are available from NOAA's online database http://nbi.noaa.gov/data/. The survey was designed to characterize sediment quality throughout the greater Biscayne Bay area. Surficial sediment samples were collected during 1995 and 1996 from 226 randomly-chosen locations throughout nine major regions. Laboratory toxicity tests were performed as indicators of potential ecotoxicological effects in sediments. A battery of tests was performed to generate information from different phases (components) of the sediments. Tests were selected to represent a range in toxicological endpoints from acute to chronic sublethal responses. Toxicological tests were conducted to measure: reduced survival of adult amphipods exposed to solid-phase sediments; impaired fertilization success and abnormal morphological development in gametes and embryos, respectively, of sea urchins exposed to pore waters; reduced metabolic activity of a marine bioluminescent bacteria exposed to organic solvent extracts; induction of a cytochrome P-450 reporter gene system in exposures to solvent extracts; and reduced reproductive success in marine copepods exposed to solid-phase sediments.

Knowing the identities and sources of prey items is fundamental to understanding trophic relationships. Stock assessments frequently cite predator-prey/food habits studies as an area of needed research. We examined the feeding habits of pelagic juvenile rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) collected off Oregon and Washington during 2000, 2002, and 2006. The predominant species collected in all years were darkblotched (S. crameri), canary (S. pinniger), yellowtail (S. flavidus), and widow (S. entomelas) rockfishes. Canary, widow and darkblotched have all been declared overfished by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC), though widow and darkblotched are now classified as rebuilding. The work was done by 2 FTEs and 1 temp hire (FTE), and involved collecting juvenile rockfish from Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) and Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) cruises, and analyzing their stable isotopes and gut contents. Comprehensively, these results add to our understanding of some of the important environmental factors that affect young-of-the-year rockfish during their pelagic phase. A manuscript for peer-reviewed publication is currently in internal review. Management audience is stock assessors and the Council. Project was one-time and stands alone. Percent weight and percent wet weight from select species of rockfish collected off Oregon and Washington.

These data represent data collected from the Shipboard Environmental (data) Acquisition System (SEAS), a program developed by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to provide accurate meteorological and oceanographic data in real time from ships at sea through the use of satellite data transmission techniques. The system transmits data through either the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) or the International Maritime Satellite Organization (INMARSAT C) satellites to NOAA for use in weather, climatological and ocean models. NOAA is actively participating in an international effort to increase the number of subsurface temperature observations in support of global oceanographic and climate studies. NOAA's Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) program, SEAS, currently supports about 80 Voluntary Observing Ships (VOS). SEAS XBT data are archived by the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) on a weekly basis.

Temperature profiles were collected from XBT casts from the OREGON II and other platforms from 05 December 1975 to 08 March 1976. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and other institutions as part of the Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment and Prediction (MARMAP) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal bathythermograph Output (UBT) format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/bt.html. The UBT format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data records are comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. The XBT data files contain temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths were recorded at the minimum number of points (''''inflection points'''') required to accurately define the temperature curve. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of 450 m or 760 m. Special instruments permitted measurements to 1830 m.
