[indicate subset used]. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. Dataset. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0273560. Accessed [date] National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists from the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) and Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), working with scientists from the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) in St. Thomas conducted a multi-year interdisciplinary research project using the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster to conduct biological and physical oceanographic surveys of the Virgin Island's (VI) bank ecosystems and surrounding regional waters. The long-term sustainability of fisheries in the VI and surrounding regions is dependent on a comprehensive understanding of regional spawning aggregations, larval transport, and overall larval recruitment in the study area. This survey sampled water properties, currents, and dispersal and transport of settlement-stage larvae in the VI and neighboring regions. Data in this archival package includes: processed larval fish data collected from the various net tows (BONGO, MOCNESS, etc.) , processed data from all conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) casts, processed data from all lowered acoustic Doppler profiler (LADCP) casts, processed hull-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (SADCP), processed sea surface, flow-through data collected with the ship's thermosalinograph (TSG) and fluorometer collected aboard NOAA Ship Nancy Foster during cruises NF-0705, NF-0805, NF-0903 NF-1001,NF-1002 and NF-1102 from 2007-04-07 to 2011-05-07. To improve the long-term sustainability of fisheries in the VI and surrounding regions by getting a better comprehensive understanding of regional spawning aggregations, larval transport, and overall larval recruitment in the study area Smith, Ryan; Lamkin, John; Johns, Elizabeth; Gerard, Trika; Malca, Estrella completed Gerard, Trika 305-361-4493 305-365-4103 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33149 USA trika.gerard@noaa.gov pointOfContact Smith, Ryan H (305) 361-4328 (305) 361-4392 4301 Rickenbacker Cswy Miami FL 33149-1026 United States ryan.smith@noaa.gov custodian Gerard, Trika 305-361-4493 305-365-4103 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33149 USA trika.gerard@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0273560/1.1/data/0-data/NF0705_State_Dept_CD/NF0705_final_cruise_track.pdf NF0705 - AREA OF OPERATION shown below in Figures 1 West of Puerto Rico and Figure 2 East Of Puerto Rico https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0273560/1.1/data/0-data/NF1102_State_Dept_DVD/NF1102_cruise_track.jpg Two Pages Of Graphs https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0273560/1.1/data/0-data/NF1001_State_Dept_CD/NF1002_cruise_track.jpg x https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0273560/1.1/data/0-data/NF1001_State_Dept_CD/NF1001_cruise_track.jpg https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0273560/1.1/data/0-data/NF0805_State_Dept_CD/NF0805_final_cruise_track.jpg https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0273560/1.1/data/0-data/NF0903_State_Dept_CD/NF0903_final_cruise_track.jpg DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/OAR/AOML > Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, OAR, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 17.0 EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN TEMPERATURE > WATER TEMPERATURE theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 17.0 OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA > ANGUILLA OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA > DOMINICAN REPUBLIC OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA > PUERTO RICO OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA > SABA OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA > ST EUSTATIUS OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA > ST KITTS AND NEVIS OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA > ST MAARTEN OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA > VIRGIN ISLANDS place Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords 20.8 ADCP > Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler CTD > Conductivity, Temperature, Depth MOCNESS > MOCNESS Plankton Net NETS > NETS THERMOSALINOGRAPHS VISUAL OBSERVATIONS > VISUAL OBSERVATIONS instrument Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Instrument Keywords 17.2 SEINE NETS > Beach seines instrument International Standard Statistical Classification of Fishing Gear (ISSCFG) 1 Nancy Foster > NOAA Ship Nancy Foster Ships platform Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Platform Keywords 17.2 0273560 273560 theme NCEI Accession US DOC; NOAA; NMFS; Southeast Fisheries Science Center US DOC; NOAA; OAR; Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory theme NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS ANIMALS - GROUP - NUMBER IN GROUP WATER TEMPERATURE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS in situ laboratory analyses theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS CORAL REEF STUDIES Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) theme NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS US DOC; NOAA; NMFS; Southeast Fisheries Science Center theme NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Caribbean Sea place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS ADCP CTD Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) net visual observation instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS NOAA Ship Nancy Foster platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS 2007-2011 temporal British Virgin Islands Puerto Rico U.

Nancy Foster (NF) Nancy Foster, one of the most operationally diverse platforms in the NOAA fleet, was originally built as a Navy yard torpedo test (YTT) craft. In 2001, the Navy transferred the vessel to NOAA who outfitted the ship to conduct coastal research along the U.S. Atlantic/Gulf coasts, and the Caribbean. Nancy Foster is named for Dr. Nancy Foster, in tribute to her outstanding contributions in advancing NOAA's mission through her leadership within the National Marine Fisheries Service and National Ocean Service from 1986 until 2000. Nancy Foster supports applied research for NOAA's National Ocean Service and Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. Operations include the characterization of habitats in our nation's National Marine Sanctuaries and coastal waters, water quality studies, maritime heritage surveys, and coral reef assessments. The vessel employs state of the art navigation and propulsion systems resulting in high quality and efficient data collection with cutting edge technology including high resolution multibeam sonars, split beam sonars, and an array of water quality sensors and CTDs. Additional capabilities include water, sediment, and core sampling, sub-bottom profiling, diving with air and NITROX, ROV and AUV operations, small boat operations and servicing oceanographic/atmospheric surface and subsurface buoys..
