Gulf of Mexico Shark Pupping and Nursery (GULFSPAN) survey from 1994-2016 (NCEI Accession 0162100)
The Gulf of Mexico Shark Pupping and Nursery (GULFSPAN) survey is a fishery-independent survey that began in 1994 to examine the distribution and abundance of juvenile sharks in coastal areas of the Gulf of Mexico. The data describes coastal shark abundance and environmental data from St. Andrews Bay to Apalachicola Bay in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.

Supplemental Information | GULFSPAN was funded adhoc from 1994-2002. In 2003 GULFSPAN started to receive specific funding Submission Package ID: MCUK5H |
Purpose | To continue to investigate the distribution and abundance of coastal sharks and quantify coastal shark community structure in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. This information is used to refine shark essential fish habitat as mandated by the Magnuson-Steven Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Data is further collected to provide a juvenile index of abundance as an input to stock assessment models. |
