NOAA Vessel Miller Freeman to Conduct Acoustic-Trawl Surveys in the GOA and BSAI NMFS scientists aboard the NOAA research vessel MILLER FREEMAN will be conducting several acoustic-trawl surveys in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska during February and March, 2002 (see attached Figure). The specific areas of operation will be the Shumagin Islands, the Shelikof Strait area, and the eastside of Kodiak Island in the GOA, and the southeast Bering Sea shelf and Bogoslof Island area in the Bering Sea. These survey efforts are needed to determine distribution and abundance of walleye pollock. |
