Habitat surveys are conducted using multibeam sonars, echosounders, and remotely operated vehicles. With these surveys, scientists map, explore and document the physical, chemical, and biological systems in order to address the groundfish management issues related to the complex interactions between fish and their habitats. This group also investigates techniques to survey areas that cannot be monitored by traditional trawl gear. In addition, this group collaborates in conservation engineering studies to develop gear that is more selective and that minimizes impacts on associated ecosystems. |
