  1. Potential Applications of GOES-R data to NOAA Fisheries Cara Wilson & R. Michael Laurs NOAA/NMFS Pacific Fisheries Environmental Laboratory David G. Foley Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research, U. Hawaii 3rd GOES-R User Workshop 10-13 May 2004 Broomfield, CO

  3. NOAA Fisheries Mission • Stewardship of the Nation’s living marine resources through science-based conservation and management • Promotion of healthy ecosystems

  4. Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) NOAA/NMFS is involved with defining LMEs, and is working towards developing guidelines for their stewardship

  5. US Exclusive Economic Zone

  6. Economic Benefits • Landings by US commercial fisheries average 4.3 million metric tons, valued at about $3.4 billion • US recreational fisheries provide food and recreation to over 17 million Americans, who spend $20 billion per year on angling

  7. Rationale For Satellite Remote Sensing In Fisheries • Understanding the changing ocean • Variations in marine environmental conditions affect • Distribution, abundance, and availability of living marine resources (LMRs) • Influence the vulnerability and catchability of fish stocks

  8. Ocean Features Importantto Fisheries • Ocean ‘fronts’, boundaries, ‘edges’ • Mesoscale circulation patterns, e.g., eddies, meanders, ‘loops’ • Convergence zones • Subsurface thermal structure, e.g. MLD, thermocline • Ocean surface winds • Ocean currents • Wave heights

  9. Temporal Events Important to LMRs • Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs) • Oil Spills • El Niño events • Regime Shifts (PDO)

  10. 3 day composite of GOES SST 3 day composite of AVHRR SST

  11. New Sensors for Near-Shore Observations • Ingest basic data • Generate derived products • Distribute to users • Archive locally

  12. 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

  13. Lobster Management • 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

  14. Lobster Management • 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

  15. SST Interannual Variability - Gulf of Maine July Climatology 1985 1990 2000 1995 Data from A. Thomas, a NOAA/NESDIS funded project

  16. Satellite SST – Lobster Larvae (September lobster # vsprior SST) 0 months lag 1 month lag 3 months lag 2 months lag Data from A. Thomas, a NOAA/NESDIS funded project

  17. Product Development to Define Salmon Ocean Habitat

  18. Along-track data from tag

  19. Refining Definitions of Salmon Ocean Habitat Probability Density OR OR Surface Temp CA CA Satellite SSTs Density of fish’s temperature experience at the surface “Contours of utilization” – likely places the fish may have been

  20. Chinook Potential Habitat Derived from GOES-10

  21. Chinook Potential Habitat Derived from GOES-10

  22. Potential Fisheries Applications of GOES-R • 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)
