Habitat surveys are conducted using multibeam sonars, echosounders,
and remotely operated vehicles. With these surveys, scientists map,
explore and document the physical, chemical, and biological systems in
order to address the groundfish management issues related to the complex
interactions between fish and their habitats. This group also
investigates techniques to survey areas that cannot be monitored by
traditional trawl gear. In addition, this group collaborates in
conservation engineering studies to develop gear that is more selective
and that minimizes impacts on associated ecosystems.
