Injury Determinations for Humpback Whales and Other Cetaceans Reported to NOAA Response Networks in the Hawaiian Islands during 2007-2012 (open access)

Injury Determinations for Humpback Whales and Other Cetaceans Reported to NOAA Response Networks in the Hawaiian Islands during 2007-2012

From introduction: the present paper provides a summary of injury determinations for cetaceans in and around the Hawaiian EEZ reported injured by human causes to the PIR-MMRN and HIERN during 2007-2012... This paper also summarizes reports from previous years of cetaceans other than humpback whales injured by human causes for the purpose of obtaining additional qualitative information on the sources of injuries and the species involved.

Depth Derivation Using Multispectral WorldView-2 Satellite Imagery (open access)

Depth Derivation Using Multispectral WorldView-2 Satellite Imagery

Report discussing high-resolution multibeam bathymetry data. Results show that in the absence of shallow (0-20 m) high-resolution bathymetric data, satellite-derived depths are an important resource for assessing, monitoring, and managing shallow coral reef ecosystems. (pg. iii)

Design and Implementation of a Bottomfish Fishery-independent Survey in the Main Hawaiian Islands (open access)

Design and Implementation of a Bottomfish Fishery-independent Survey in the Main Hawaiian Islands

The following document conducts stock assessment reports on deep-slope bottomfish along the State of Hawaii. The goal of this report is to improve stock assessments through optimal design and implementation of a fishery-independent survey for the Deep-7 bottomfish complex in the main Hawaiian Islands.
