EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During SH1806

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: April 12, 2026 at 09:02 PM | Dataset Last Updated: October 10, 2024 at 12:00 AM
This survey is part of a long-term Bonneville Power Administration-funded effort by academic and federal scientists to understand coastal ecosystems and biological and physical processes that may influence recruitment variability of salmon in Pacific Northwest waters. Prior to a potential switch to the R/V Shimada as a long-term platform, we intend to compare catches between vessels (The R/V Shimada and the F/V Frosti) on the continental shelf of Washington. Sampling will occur during the day for 3 days (23-25 May) with surface trawls along pre-specified transects. One trawl will be performed as we leave the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the afternoon of the 22nd. In addition, a bongo net will be towed several times each night between 2300 and 0500 (nights of 19-22 June).
