The Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program – South Atlantic (SEAMAP-SA) is a State/Federal program for collection, management and dissemination of fishery independent data and information in the southeastern United States. The SEAMAP-SA has conducted fishery-independent research on groundfish, reef fish, and coastal pelagic fishes within the region between Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and Cape Canaveral, Florida. The overall mission of the program has been to determine distribution, relative abundance, and critical habitat of economically and ecologically important fishes of the South Atlantic Bight (SAB), and to relate these features to environmental factors and exploitation activities. Research toward fulfilling these goals has included trawl surveys (from 6-350 m depth), location and mapping of fish habitat, sampling of reefs throughout the SAB, life history and population studies of priority species, tagging studies of important species and special studies directed at specific management problems in the region. Survey work has also provided a monitoring program that has allowed the standardized sampling of fish populations over time, and subsequent development of a historical base for future comparisons of long-term trends. These trend data are used to provide indices of abundance, which are critical for use in stock assessments, and greatly enhance the assessment of abundance of many species within the region. |
