Southeast Fishery-Independent Survey (PC1402, ME70)
The Southeast Fishery-Independent Survey (SEFIS) was created by the National Marine Fisheries Service in 2010 and operates out of the NOAA Beaufort Laboratory. The survey conducts fishery-independent sampling and related applied research, focusing on the assessment of spatial variability in distribution and abundance of marine fish species within the snapper-grouper complex, via data collected from fish traps, video cameras, and acoustics. The NOAA ship Pisces departed Morehead city on 5 July 2014 for a SEFIS research cruise in continental shelf and shelf-break waters off the southeastern U.S. During this survey, 227 sq km of multibeam data were collected from 48 discrete areas between 33.5 Deg N and 35.0 Deg N. A total of 391 concomitant trap-camera samples were collected.

|
Distribution Formats |
- Kongsberg/Simrad instrument files (.raw or .wcd) (Version: 1)
- File Specification: Kongsberg/Simrad .raw files are generated by ME70, EK60 or ES60 instruments. They contain power and optionally angular position data with each beam/frequency identified by an independent channel. See the Simrad interface specification manual for further information. The .wcd files are generated by Kongsberg EM302 or EM122 instruments. See Kongsberg documentation for more information.

Purpose |
Increase the spatial footprint and sample size of fishery-independent sampling in Onslow and Long Bay continental shelf waters (roughtly between Cape Lookout and Cape Fear, NC). Mapping data are used to improve survey design and to expand knowledge of hardbottom habitats in the southeast US. |
Use Limitations |
- These data are considered raw and have not been subjected to the NOAA's quality control or quality assurance procedures. They are released for limited public use as preliminary data to be used only with appropriate caution. NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of the failure of the data to function on a particular system.
