The ship's normal operating area is the Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank, and the continental shelf and slope from Southern New England to Cape Hatteras, NC. Typical assessment work includes groundfish assessment surveys and Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment and Prediction (MARMAP) surveys. Research conducted from the DELAWARE II provides an understanding of the physical and biological processes that control year-class strength of key economical fish species. The vessel is operated by NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations. sponsor: title: NOAA/OMAO/MOC-A Marine Operations Center - Atlantic (owner) xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/02527da0-6aaa-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 sponsor: title: Northeast Fisheries Science Center (operator) xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/ebd76260-2bad-4f23-ac30-62726422f231 instrument: title: Simrad ME70 Multibeam Echosounder xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/26fca400-154a-11e1-be50-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Simrad EK60 Singlebeam Echosounder xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/b7ae3f00-701c-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 |
