Project name
This project monitors abundance and distribution of mature and juvenile fish and invertebrates.
Testing and efficiency evaluation of the standardized 4-seam, 3-bridle bottom trawl doors, sweeps, protocols.

The objective of this project is to determine the distribution and abundance of northern shrimp and collect related data.

This project provides data collection and analysis in support of single and multispecies stock assessments Gulf of Maine. It includes the Maine/New Hampshire inshore trawl program, conducted by Maine Department of Marine Resources MDMR in the northern segment.
This project provides data collection and analysis in support of single and multispecies stock assessments in the MidAtlantic. It includes the inshore trawl program NEAMAP Mid-Atlantic to Southern New England survey, conducted by Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary VIMS in the southern segment.
Certification training for new NEFOP Observers.

The objective of this project is to track mature animals and determine juvenile abundance.

Assess habitat distribution and condition, including disturbance by commercial fishing and changes as the benthic ecosystem recovers from chronic fishing impacts. Also serves to collect data on seasonal migration of benthic species, collect bottom data for mapping, and provide indications of climate change through species shifts.
Trawling/hook and line collection operations undertake to capture high quality fish for laboratory experiments.
Map shallow reef habitats of fisheries resource species, including warm season habitats of black sea bass, and locate sensitive habitats e.g., shallow temperate coral habitats for habitat conservation.
Determine the distribution, abundance, and recruitment patterns for multiple species.
