Zooplankton dry weights: Cooperative Long-term Ecological Monitoring Project (PULSE), Gulf of Maine collected from the F/V Lady Regena NEC-JR2001-1 from the Gulf of Maine, 1999-2004 (NEC-CoopRes project)

<h3>\"Cooperative Long-term Ecosystem Monitoring in the Gulf of Maine\"</h3>

<p><em>Project leader:</em> Jeffrey Runge (UNH)<br />
<em>Project assistant:</em> Rebecca Jones (UNH)<br />
<em>Industry participants:</em> Yankee Fisherman's Coop and Portsmouth Fisherman's Coop.<br />
<em>Monitoring Advisory Panel:</em> R.Barnaby (UNH), C.Goudey (MIT Sea Grant), S.Meeker (UNH Sea Grant Extension), L. Mercer (Maine, DNR), D. Mountain (NMFS, Woods Hole), C. Pendleton (NAMA), D. Townsend (UMaine)</p>

<p>The overall goal of this project is the design and development of a cooperative, industry-based contribution to monitoring of the pelagic ecosystem in the Gulf of Maine. The need for long-term biological data collection in the Gulf of Maine becomes critical in light of increasing evidence for change in New England's climate. It becomes increasingly important for the fishing industry as decisions about fishery management shift from a single or multi-species to an ecosystem-based approach. By involving the expertise and resources of the local fishing community, we hope to learn more about the natural and man-made variability of the Gulf of Maine marine ecosystem.</p>

<p>Sampling took place on a weekly schedule with the cooperation of Portsmouth Fishermen's COOP and Seabrook Yankee Fishermen's COOP fishermen. Each week we visited the two stations shown on the above map, <a href=\"http://www.gomoos.org\">GoMOOS</a> Buoy \"B\" and New Scantum at the southern edge of Jeffreys Ledge.</p>

<h3>缅因湾合作长期生态系统监测（Cooperative Long-term Ecosystem Monitoring in the Gulf of Maine）</h3>
<p><em>项目负责人：</em>杰弗里·朗格（Jeffrey Runge）（新罕布什尔大学，University of New Hampshire，UNH）<br />
<em>项目助理：</em>丽贝卡·琼斯（Rebecca Jones）（UNH）<br />
<em>行业参与方：</em>扬基渔民合作社（Yankee Fisherman's Coop）与朴茨茅斯渔民合作社（Portsmouth Fisherman's Coop）<br />
<em>监测咨询委员会成员：</em>R.巴纳比（R.Barnaby，UNH）、C.古迪（C.Goudey，麻省理工学院海洋资助计划，MIT Sea Grant）、S.米克（S.Meeker，UNH海洋资助推广办公室，UNH Sea Grant Extension）、L.默瑟（L.Mercer，缅因州自然资源部，Maine, DNR）、D.芒廷（D.Mountain，国家海洋渔业局伍兹霍尔分部，NMFS, Woods Hole）、C.彭德尔顿（C.Pendleton，NAMA）、D.汤森（D.Townsend，缅因大学，UMaine）</p>
<p>本项目的总体目标是设计并开发一套合作式、依托行业参与的监测方案，用于缅因湾远洋生态系统（pelagic ecosystem）的监测。鉴于新英格兰地区气候发生变化的证据日益增多，在缅因湾开展长期生物数据采集的需求愈发紧迫。随着渔业管理决策从单物种或多物种管理转向基于生态系统的管理模式，这对渔业行业而言也愈发重要。我们期望通过整合当地捕捞社区的专业知识与资源，更深入地了解缅因湾海洋生态系统的自然与人为变异特征。</p>

<p>采样工作按周度计划开展，得到了朴茨茅斯渔民合作社（Portsmouth Fishermen's COOP）与西布鲁克扬基渔民合作社（Seabrook Yankee Fishermen's COOP）渔民的配合。每周我们都会到访上图所示的两个采样站点：<a href="http://www.gomoos.org">GoMOOS</a>浮标“B”，以及位于杰弗里斯浅滩南部边缘的新斯坎塔姆（New Scantum）。</p>
