  BACKGROUND:
  NOAA Fisheries performs standardized, scientific surveys to assess changes in abundance and population metrics of fish, invertebrates, and protected species over space and time. In response to the potential disruption of long-running (some more than 30 years) survey missions, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center has developed a survey mitigation plan intended to guide the development and implementation of a program to mitigate impacts of wind energy development on fisheries surveys in the Southeast region. Construction of wind turbines along the U.S. East Coast allows for some feasibility testing of survey methodologies adapted for data collection within and around wind farms. This project aims to identify and develop new survey approaches and will require the contracting of vessel(s) that can support several scientists and deploy and recover multiple types of survey gear near the offshore wind turbines located at the CVOW pilot area over the course of 7 days.
  
  INTENDED USE/PURPOSE:
  We will test the feasibility of using the following methodologies within and around wind farms: Diver surveys, video trap surveys, Passive Acoustic Monitoring, Echosounder, Multibeam, CTD, Uncrewed Aerial Systems, Water collection, Benthic sample collection, Uncrewed Und...
