Her primary objective is to study, monitor, and collect data on a wide range of sea life and ocean conditions, primarily in U.S. waters from the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and South Atlantic to North Carolina. The region includes important commercial and recreational fisheries, and is one of the world's best known and most productive marine areas. The data collected by the ship is used by scientists who study variation in ocean conditions and sea life to better inform the nation's decision makers about such issues as sustainable fisheries, ecosystem structure and function, fish habitats and habitat restoration, coral reefs, and protected species status. Pisces also observes weather, sea state, and other environmental conditions, conducts habitat assessments, and survey marine mammal and marine bird populations. sponsor: title: NOAA/OMAO/MOC-A Marine Operations Center - Atlantic (owner) xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/02527da0-6aaa-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 sponsor: title: DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC> Southeast Fisheries Science Center (operator) xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/7ab0c8aa-8a78-4112-98f7-c93cea679192 instrument: title: Simrad ME70 Echosounder xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/26fca400-154a-11e1-be50-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Simrad EK60 Echosounder xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/b7ae3f00-701c-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Simrad ES60 xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/3b711580-1f7f-11e1-8bc2-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Furuno FE700 Echosounder xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/174979b0-700a-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Sea-Bird SBE 9 xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/689d7520-7819-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Applanix POS/MV 320 xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/491cba30-69c8-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Eppley Precision Infrared Radiometer xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/633cd1d0-69cc-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Sea-Bird Electronics SeaCat 21 Thermosalinograph Sensor xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/9779e920-703d-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: RM Young 61202V Barometric Pressure Sensor xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/c07f2060-67a0-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: RM Young 41382VC Relative Humidity/Air Temperature Sensor xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/d9b5d450-67a2-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: RM Young 05106/05306B Wind Sensor xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/ad085710-67a3-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 |
