This information collected will be used to evaluate the utility of an experimental fishing closure on one of the most pristine reefs under US jurisdiction in the tropical Western Atlantic. Data collected during this mission (pre-closure) will provide baseline information necessary to evaluate closure efficacy and assess whether the closure should become permanent.\r\n \r\n \r\n 1. To design and implement a mobile fisheries sonar survey in concert with multibeam echosounder hydrographic surveys to assess and map fish densities and biomass within and outside proposed management zones.2. To assess distribution of fish densities relative to management and ecological reserve boundaries and other differences that may be associated with management zones and habitat types, particularly as fish distributions relate to movements between habitat types.3. To assess the extent of fish density distributions in comparison with diver visual surveys and fish community assessments.\r\n \r\n \r\n completed\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Chris Taylor\r\n \r\n \r\n Department of Commmerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Nation Ocean Service (NOS), National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), Center for Coastal Fisheries and Habitat Research (CCFHR), Applied Ecology and Restoration Research Branch\r\n \r\n \r\n Ecologist\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2527283595\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 101 Pivers Island Road\r\n \r\n \r\n Beaufort\r\n \r\n \r\n North Carolina\r\n \r\n \r\n 28516\r\n \r\n \r\n chris.taylor@noaa.gov\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n pointOfContact\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n asNeeded\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS_Metadata\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NCEI Geoportal Filter\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Baseline assessment of fish and benthic communities of the Flower Garden Banks\r\n \r\n \r\n 180\r\n \r\n \r\n F058 Baseline assessment of fish and benthic communities of the Flower Garden Banks\r\n \r\n \r\n 20464\r\n \r\n \r\n project\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CRCP Project\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Fisheries Acoustics\r\n \r\n \r\n Hydrographic Acoustics\r\n \r\n \r\n Fish Survey\r\n \r\n \r\n Splitbeam Sonar\r\n \r\n \r\n 120kHz\r\n \r\n \r\n Simard\r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA\r\n \r\n \r\n Reef\r\n \r\n \r\n Coral\r\n \r\n \r\n ES60\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n None\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Geographic Information > Biology\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Ocean Acoustics > Acoustic Attenuation/Transmission > Bioacoustics\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Marine Biology > Fish\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS Theme Thesaurus\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary\r\n \r\n \r\n Flower Gardens Banks\r\n \r\n \r\n Gulf of Mexico\r\n \r\n \r\n place\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n None\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Gulf of America > Flower Garden Banks > East Flower Garden Banks (27N093W0001)\r\n \r\n \r\n OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Gulf of America > Flower Garden Banks > West Flower Garden Banks (27N093W0002)\r\n \r\n \r\n COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Texas > East Flower Garden Banks (27N093W0001)\r\n \r\n \r\n COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Texas > West Flower Garden Banks (27N093W0002)\r\n \r\n \r\n place\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS Place Thesaurus\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n FGB\r\n \r\n \r\n place\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS Region\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Gulf of Mexico\r\n \r\n \r\n Gulf of America\r\n \r\n \r\n place\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS Region\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n These data were prepared by an agency of the United States Government.
