Welcome
[[[enter cool image of CPS survey]]]
West Coast coastal pelagic species play an important role in the California Current ecosystem. They’re food sources for marine mammals, sea birds, and larger fish, and they support commercial and recreational fisheries. The biomass and abundance estimates derived from this project are used in stock assessment models to support sustainable fisheries.
Document Objective:
This resource will serve as a tutorial to demonstrate how the SWFSC uses acoustic data generate biomass estimates of Coastal Pelagic Species from Baja, Mexico to Vancouver, Canada.
Please consider this resource to be a Living Document. The code in this repository is regularly being updated and improved.
Do not hesitate to reach out (to us at either alice.beittel@noaa.gov or GitHub issues, especially if you find discrepancies in the data or want to suggest improvements to infrastructure. Thank you in advance for your collaboration and partnership with us as we develop our future data universe.
