• Description:
  The NOAA research vessel GORDON GUNTER sampled a total of 241 stations from 16 May to 7 June 2017 in 2 legs. Leg 1 covered the Mid-Atlantic Bight, Southern New England and part of Georges Bank. Leg 2 covered the remainder of Georges Bank and part of the Gulf of Maine. The principal objective of the survey was to assess the pelagic components of the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf Ecosystem from water currents to plankton, pelagic fishes, marine mammals, sea turtles, and seabirds. The spatial distribution of the following parameters was quantified: water properties, phytoplankton, microzooplankton, mesozooplankton, pelagic fish and invertebrates. Both traditional and novel techniques and instruments were used.
