Fisheries Applications of Satellite data
Fisheries Applications of Satellite data
• Optimizing sea-going fisheries activities
• Satellite SST currently being used by NOAA Fisheries to mitigate interactions between endangered sea turtles and longline fisheries
• Defining essential habitats for incorporation into an ecosystem approach to management

- Lobster fishery- Salmon habitat
• Potential applications with GOES-R
LobsterManagement
• Lobster fishery is the most valuable fishery on the Atlantic Coast, with annual landings of ~ $300M
• In the past 15 years lobster landings have more than doubled
LobsterManagement
• Lobster larvae are planktonic and their distribution and recruitment are highly dependent on oceanographic temperatures and currents
• There is currently a NOAA/NESDIS funded project (A. Thomas) to use satellite data to better understand lobster populations in the Penobscot Bay, to help sustain the fishery

• Ocean color used in conjunction with SST will be an important component in defining and monitoring essential fish habitat (EFH)
• The temporal resolution of existing satellite-derived products used in marine resource managementcan be improved to better account for regional ocean dynamics
• Higher temporal and spatial resolution satellite data will enhance the development and implementation of new products for management of coastal fisheries (e.g. Pacific Salmon and Atlantic Lobster fisheries)
