5 Survey Timing Spring Survey #8 Seasonal Surveys Summer Fall Winter Spring Months (Purpose) July/August (fin, and humpback whales, turtles, shearwaters and gulls) October/November (northern gannet, red-throated loon, black-legged kittiwake, jaegers and skuas) February/March (beaked whales, alcids) April/May (right and sei whales, roseate tern, red phalarope) Sei Whale N A Right Whale Roseate Terns
6 Data collection
7 Survey The Spring survey was flown with the Shearwater III camera system. Camera performed well. The survey was targeted to capture data during April The survey started on 21 April and was completed on 26 April There were a total of 5 flying days to complete the survey
8 Survey Design The same flight plan as previous surveys was used. Flight plan is currently split between nearshore and offshore areas Access to the restricted area around JFK was granted so all survey lines across the OPA were captured at 1.5 cm
9 Survey Design
10 Weather and Survey Weather conditions were very favorable with only one weather down day encountered during the survey period Date (April 2018) April 21 April 22 April 23 April 24 April 26 Action 4 lines of the OPA were flown 8 lines of the OPA were flown 8 lines of the OPA were flown 8 lines of the OPA were flown 3 lines of the OPA were flown
11 Images Captured and Analysis Total images captured: OPA ~ 400,000 From this we anticipate analyzing: OPA ~ 320,000 To achieve 7% OPA coverage Total images screened so far: OPA ~ 0 Percentage of images screened: OPA ~ 0%
