• Description:
  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ship Oregon II departed Pascagoula, MS on 3 May 2023 to initiate the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) Spring Ichthyoplankton Survey in the 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 spring survey, plankton samples are 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, specifically targeting larval Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus). A total of 23 successful sea days were worked over two legs during the cruise: Leg I, May 3 - 10; Leg II, May 12 – 27.
