LEG 2 OF THE 2023 SURVEY IS UNDERWAY!
July 05, 2023
Leg 2 of the Survey resumes science operations where Leg 1 left off
Survey |
West Coast
The NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada came into port in San Francisco last Saturday
(July 1) for a science crew change and is now back out resuming science
operations. The ship’s crew, along with some new scientists joining the survey
and a few scientists that stayed on from Leg 1, are all very excited to get back
out to the open ocean and continue the important science of the Survey. A NOAA
Teacher At Sea (TAS) is also joining the science party on this leg. The NOAA TAS
Program “offers educators a unique opportunity to join NOAA scientists aboard an
ocean research vessel as a member of the science team”. Leg 2’s Teacher At Sea
is Lisa Carlson, an elementary school teacher from Virginia Beach, VA. Stay
tuned here and on the Teacher At Sea blog(link is external) for updates from
her!
Science operations resumed right where Leg 1 of the Survey left off, just north
of Morro Bay, California. Scientists continue to collect acoustic and biological
data to estimate the biomass of Pacific hake off the west coast of the U.S. and
Canada. Starting on Leg 2, we will also be tracking phytoplankton dynamics in
the California Current Ecosystem using the Imaging Flow CytoBot (IFCB), a new
piece of equipment that came aboard in San Francisco. The IFCB is a robotic
microscope that automates identification of phytoplankton using flow cytometric
and video technology to capture high-resolution images of suspended particles
and transmit them to shore in near real-time. This instrument allows us to
quantify phytoplankton and its toxins to provide critical information in support
of fisheries management, ecosystem modeling and assessment, and to provide early
warning of harmful blooms.The IFCB will continue to collect data for automatic
phytoplankton identification for the remainder of the Bell M. Shimada portion of
the Survey.
Everyone is excited to do more great science on Leg 2!
