Description:The NOAA research vessel GORDON GUNTER sampled a total of 117 stations on the Fall Ecosystem Monitoring Survey (EcoMon). The vessel sailed from Pier 2 at the Naval Station in Newport RI on 15 October and returned on 1 November 2019, sampling from Cape Hatteras, NC and north, covering the Middle Atlantic Bight, Southern New England and Georges Bank areas completely and a small portion of the southwest Gulf of Maine during the 18 sea days allotted for this trip (Figure 1).
The principal objective of this 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.
