Hydroacoustic surveys: a non-destructive approach to monitoring fish distributions at National Marine Sanctuaries Non-destructive approach to monitoring fish distributions at National Marine Sanctuaries

"The purpose of this document is to provide a guide for sanctuary managers interested in developing fisheries acoustic surveys in support of National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP) goals and objectives, using GRNMS as an example. Recently, a partnership between the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) and the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) was defined with the goal of effectively managing sanctuaries using the best available science, with a focus on characterizing and monitoring sanctuary resources"--P. 1.
