As part of the AMAPPS program, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center and the Northeast Fisheries Center conducted aerial surveys of continental shelf waters along the US east coast from New Jersey to South Carolina. The survey was conducted during 2012 between 4 April and 21 May. It was conducted along tracklines oriented perpendicular to the shoreline that were latitudinally spaced 20 km apart aboard a NOAA Twin Otter aircraft at an altitude of 600 feet (183 m) and a speed of 110 knots. The survey was designed for analysis using Distance sampling and a two-team (independent observer) approach to correct for visibility bias in resulting abundance estimates.
