  • Description:
    The cruise period was 22 January to 8 February 2008. The NOAA fisheries research vessel DELAWARE II sampled at a total of 94 stations. Of these, 29 were located in the Gulf of Maine (GOM), 30 were located on Georges Bank, 29 were in the Southern New England (SNE) area and 6 in the Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB). The Gulf of Maine (GOM) stations included 5 fixed stations: the Wilkinson, Jordan and Georges basins, the site of a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal east of Boston Harbor and the Northeast Channel (Figure 1). The primary objective of the cruise was to assess changing biological and physical properties which influence the sustainable productivity of the living marine resources of the northeast continental shelf ecosystem. Key parameters measured for the Ecosystem Monitoring Program included ichthyoplankton and zooplankton composition, abundance and distribution, plus water column temperature and salinity. Near-surface along-track chlorophyll-a fluorescence, water temperature and salinity were measured while underway with the vessel’s flow-through sampling system.
