Fisheries Monitoring in Ocean Wind 01. Two seasonal pre-construction surveys. Twenty tows conducted in the lease area and twenty in the control area each season (160/year total). Tows conducted at three knots for 20 minutes. Trawl data will inform relative biomass (kg/tow) by species, size frequency by species, condition index (length-weight) by species, community assemblage, and gut content of a subset of species.

The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) Surfclam Fisheries Monitoring Plan sought to acquire one year of pre-construction data at the CVOW site with a focus on Atlantic surfclam in an effort to establish a baseline condition and characterization of the Atlantic surfclam resource in and near the lease area. The target for each tow is 5 minutes at 2.5 knots with a goal of twenty stations in the lease area and another twenty at the control site. Thirty-eight stations were sampled in total for this survey. The dredge is a modified commercial clam dredge to better sample younger clam sizes (Munroe et al., 2023). For each tow, the total volume of clams caught, a subsample volume, and the number of individual clams caught in the subsample and their shell length were recorded. The realized tow distance was calculated from dredge sensor data that records time on bottom and time hauled back, and vessel track recordings.

Fisheries Monitoring in Ocean Wind 01. One summer survey once per year pre-construction in 2022 and 2023. Target for each tow is 5 minutes at 2.5 knots with a goal of twenty stations in the lease area and ten at the control site. The dredge is a modified commercial clam dredge to better sample younger clam sizes (Munroe et al., 2023). For each tow, the total volume of clams caught, and the number of individual clams caught will be recorded.

Fisheries Monitoring on the New Jersey shelf. Target for each tow is 5 minutes at 2.5 knots with a goal of forty stations on the continental shelf off New Jersey. The dredge is a modified commercial clam dredge to better sample younger clam sizes (Munroe et al., 2023). For each tow, the total volume of clams caught and the number of individual clams caught were recorded. The realized tow distance was calculated from dredge sensor data that records time on bottom and time hauled back, and vessel track recordings.

RMI Eco-glider Telemetry Receiver Detections From MATOS

This project is conducting seasonal surveys with a pair of gliders deployed in each season with a full complement of available sensors to simultaneously map oceanographic and ecological variables. Gliders are equipped with some subset of a Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) sensor, a pH sensor, a WETLabs FLBBCD ECO puck configured for simultaneous chlorophyll fluorescence and optical backscatter measurements, an Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler (AZFP) multi-frequency echo sounder for active acoustic detection of pelagic organisms (transducers configured for either fish or zooplankton), a DMON hydrophone for detection of marine mammals, and a Vemco VMT or Innovasea Rx-LIVE fish telemetry receiver to track tagged species moving through the region. This dataset includes VMT and Rx-LIVE detections returned by MATOS for this project, which has a new data merge 3-4 times annually. Oceanographic data is shared at https://slocum-data.marine.rutgers.edu, AZFP data is shared at https://rowlrs-data.marine.rutgers.edu, and real-time marine mammal detections are shared at https://robots4whales.whoi.edu/.

This project provides monitoring of key fish species and habitat features within the planned Ocean Wind site and a nearby control site off the coast of southern New Jersey before, during, and after wind farm construction. This glider is equipped with an Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler (AZFP), an autonomous, low-power echo sounder that possesses the capabilities to study the abundance, distribution, and behavior of various sizes of fishes and large zooplankton throughout the water column over large spatial scales by measuring acoustic backscatter returns with ultrasonic frequencies. This 3-4 week deployment will test the use of gliders for conducting fisheries and ecosystem surveys in and around the Ocean Wind study site. The AZFP used on this deployment is configured for fish detections (38, 120, and 200 kHz) and this dataset contains the AZFP data analysis output from Echoview. Environmental data from this deployment, including Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) data and fluorescence data (ie chlorophyll) is available separately on slocum-data.marine.rutgers.edu.

Structured Habitat Survey OW1 Rod and Reel Catch

Fisheries Monitoring in Ocean Wind 01. Performed 4 x per year for two years pre-construction. In each season, four to five turbine sites in the lease area and four to five phantom turbine sites in the control area will be visited. Two Baited Remote Underwater Videos (BRUV) are placed 60 m off of the turbine and a string of six Chevron traps (first deployed 60 m off of the turbine, subsequent traps set 150 m from last trap) will be deployed at each station. Target soak time for the Chevron traps are 90 minutes and soak time for the BRUV is 60 minutes.  A drifting rod and reel surveys for eight minutes at the turbine or phantom turbine location. Evaluates changes in species biomass, size frequency, and condition, and community assemblage. This dataset includes catch data for the rod and reel portion of the survey.
