Description:

"The purpose of this project is to continue a time series (from 2000) of abundances of commercial and non-commercial species to aid fishery management decisions in the near shore waters from New Hampshire to Maine. The project consists of two, 30 day trawl surveys, in the spring and fall, through 2016. A totaI of approximately 240 stations are sampled, with tow durations of 20 minutes. This project provides fishery independent data that is a quantitative time-series on the distribution and relative abundance of benthic marine resources of the near shore Gulf of Maine waters along Maine and New Hampshire, and assists with NOAA/NMFS stock assessments. Work will be funded under NOAA grant #NA13NMF472010407 by Sally Sherman, Keri Stepanek of Maine Department of Marine Resources, Booth Bay ME, and Doug Grout of New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, Durham New Hampshire"--Cover letter.
