abstract: As part of the Gulf of Mexico Marine Assessment Program for Protected Species (GoMMAPPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducted seabird vessel surveys aboard NOAA vessels of opportunity in the pelagic waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Surveys were initiated in April 2017, with the last vessel survey being completed in September 2019. This dataset includes seabird visual observation data, with corresponding locations (latitude, longitude) and behavior and/or demographic data (e.g., age, sex). In total, ~41,700km and ~2,300hr of observation effort during 293 days-at-sea were conducted on 20 pelagic cruises in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Using standard, transect-based methodology 9,347 marine avifauna detections representing 44,029 individuals of 44 seabird species were amassed. Of those detections, 37,817 birds were identified to species (85.9%). Seabird observations accounted for 87.4% of all avifauna detections, 86.3% of all individual birds, and 39.3% of all birds identified to species. Detections classified as non-marine avifauna accounted for 12.6% of all avifauna detections, 13.7% of all individual birds, and 63.6% of all avifauna species that were identified. There were 1,345 detections of 6,980 birds classified as non-marine avifauna representing 77 bird species. This dataset also includes observations of marine mammals, sea turtles, and other marine species observed during surveys.
purpose: Improved information is needed on living marine resource abundance, distribution, habitat use, and behavior in the Gulf of Mexico to properly mitigate and monitor for potential impacts of human activities, including offshore energy development. Understanding of cumulative impacts on protected species in the Gulf of Mexico from both natural and anthropogenic forcing is required to inform NEPA assessments, consultations and rulemaking related to Endangered Species Act (ESA), Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), and Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), as well as other statutes that govern bureau activities. The results of this study will provide important information to inform both Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) regulatory needs, as well as other agencies and stakeholders involved in effective management and conservation of protected species in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

supplementalInformation: Despite the importance of the Gulf of Mexico for marine species, there is limited information available to quantify seasonal distribution and abundance in the region. To bridge this gap, the Gulf of Mexico Marine Assessment Program for Protected Species (GoMMAPPS), was developed as a federal partnership between the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Additionally, the seabird survey program worked in partnership with Michigan State University, Clemson University, and Terra Mar Applied Sciences LLC. For seabirds, a combination of ship-based and aerial surveys were employed. Seabird vessel surveys were conducted aboard NOAA Vessels of Opportunity (VOO) in the pelagic waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Surveys were initiated in April 2017, with the last vessel survey being completed in September 2019. In total, ~41,700km and ~2,300hr of observation effort 293 days-at-sea were conducted on 20 pelagic cruises in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Using standard, transect-based methodology 9,347 marine avifauna detections representing 44,029 individuals of 44 seabird species were amassed. Of those detections, 37,817 birds were identified to species (85.9%). All seabird observations accounted for 87.4% of all avifauna detections, 86.3% of all individual birds, and 39.3% of all birds identified to species. Detections classified as non-marine avifauna accounted for 12.6% of all avifauna detections, 13.7% of all individual birds, and 63.6% of all avifauna species that were identified. There were 1,345 detections of 6,980 birds classified as non-marine avifauna representing 77 bird species. This dataset includes seabird visual observation data, with corresponding locations (latitude, longitude) and behavior and/or demographic data (e.g., age, sex, etc.). Submission Package ID: GL852K

description: Parameter or Variable: SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - COUNT (measured); Units: n/a; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: biota surveys; Sampling and Analyzing Method: GoMMAPPS vessel-based seabird surveys (2 seabird observers/vessel/leg) were conducted cooperatively aboard NOAA vessel of opportunity conducting annual fisheries and plankton surveys, as well as aboard dedicated NOAA vessels conducting marine mammal surveys as part of GoMMAPPS. Surveys were conducted using standard, transect-based methodologies (Tasker et al. 1984) using protocols (Ballance and Force 2016) and associated software developed for vessel-based seabird surveys (Program SEEBIRD, Vers. 4.3.7). One observer used 10x binoculars to identify and count all birds detected on either side of the ship within a 300m strip transect (see Jodice et al. 2021 for more information). Bird species were also identified and counted out to approximately 500m irrespective of vessel side. Species-specific MaxEnt models were developed using a suite of environmental covariates and variables for 24 species of seabirds, including the proposed listed Black-capped Petrel (Pterodroma hasitata). For modeling, sightings had to meet a minimum vessel speed (≥11 km h-1) on transect and species were required to meet a threshold minimum number of detections (n = 20). Species Modeled: 1. Audubon’s Shearwater 2. Black-capped Petrel 3. Black Tern 4. Bonaparte’s Gull 5. Brown Booby 6. Brown Noddy 7. Brown Pelican 8. Bridled Tern 9. Band-rumped Storm-Petrel 10. Cory’s Shearwater 11. Common Loon 12. Common Tern 13. Great Shearwater 14. Herring Gull 15. Laughing Gull 16. Masked Booby 17. Magnificent Frigatebird 18. Northern Gannet 19. Parasitic Jaeger 20. Pomarine Jaeger 21. Royal Tern 22. Sandwich Tern 23. Sooty Tern 24. Wilson’s Storm-Petrel; Data Quality Method: Data were collected in real time from NOAA vessels and input directly into onboard laptops using Program SEEBIRD (Vers. 4.3.7). For each cruise, at the end of each day the primary observer would download the data output file (.txt) and make any edits or corrections based on the observer's field notebook, which was linked to a given record number. Data were then 'formatted' and resaved as an .xls file with vessel 2 letter ID and date. If flying fish were encountered, a second data file was downloaded at the end of each day. On the evening of the last survey date, within a cruise, all data were appended to a master file for all species (birds, sea turtles, marine mammals) and a separate summary file for flying fish. Post-survey QA/QC was done for both data files with standardized formatting. At the end of a given cruise, files were downloaded from the laptop hard drive and sent to Clemson University for further QA/QC and analyses/modeling. A single, final QA/QC.csv file for each survey/cruise was sent to the GoMMAPPS seabird Database Specialist. All survey files were then combined into a single .csv file for all vessel surveys within the study period and prepared for archive..
