Description:The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ship Gordon Gunter departed Pascagoula, MS 3 March 2015 to initiate the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) Winter Plankton Survey in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The SEAMAP Program is a cooperative State/Federal/University program designed to collect biological and environmental data from waters of the U.S. GOM. During the winter survey, plankton samples were collected from a systematic grid of stations to assess distribution, occurrence and abundance of the early life stages of a variety of species of fishes and invertebrates. The survey specifically targeted larvae of grouper, tilefish and other winter spawning species. A total of 113 stations were sampled in the northern GOM from Texas over to Florida during the 29 days at sea (Leg 1, 3 March–14 March and Leg 2, 17 March– 2April 2015).
