Report on the Summer 2022 California Current Ecosystem Survey (CCES) (2207RL), 27 June to 30 September 2022, conducted aboard NOAA ship Reuben Lasker, fishing vessels Lisa Marie and Long Beach Carnage, and uncrewed surface vehicles

The Summer 2022 California Current Ecosystem Survey (CCES) (2207RL) was conducted by the Fisheries Resources Division (FRD) of the Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) aboard NOAA ship Reuben Lasker (hereafter Lasker) (Fig. 1), 27 June to 30 September 2022, and augmented by data collected from the fishing vessels Lisa Marie and Long Beach Carnage and uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs; Saildrone, Inc.). The Acoustic-Trawl Method (ATM) is routinely used to assess coastal pelagic fish species (CPS) within the California Current Ecosystem (CCE), typically between Vancouver Island, British Columbia and San Diego, CA. Starting in 2021, the survey has extended southward to include central Baja California, Mexico. Data were collected using multi-frequency echosounders, surface trawls, obliquely integrating net tows, a Continuous Underway Fish-Egg Sampler [CUFES; Checkley et al. (1997)], and conductivity-temperature-depth probes (CTDs).
