As part of the AMAPPS program, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center conducts aerial surveys of continental shelf waters along the US East Coast from Southeastern Florida to Cape May, New Jersey. Aerial survey TOSE14SPR was conducted during 2014 between 24 March and 28 April. The survey 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. The survey covered waters from Cape May, NJ to South Carolina including 'fine-scale' tracklines in waters offshore of New Jersey and Virginia. Due to weather conditions during the survey, only effort from South Carolina to Cape May, New Jersey was completed.
