Observations of deep coral and sponge assemblages in Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, Washington. Cruise Report: NOAA Ship McArthur II Cruise AR06-07/07 [PDF]

, 2007
From May 22 to June 4, 2006, NOAA scientists led a research cruise using the ROPOS Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to conduct a series of dives at targeted sites in the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) with the goal of documenting deep ...

A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 342-369, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

Inversion of Side Scan Sonar Motion and Posture in Seabed Geomorphology

Polish Maritime Research, 2017
Side scan sonar measurement platform, affected by underwater environment and its own motion precision, inevitably has posture and motion disturbance, which greatly affects accuracy of geomorphic image formation.

Mapping and Characterizing Subtidal Oyster Reefs Using Acoustic Techniques, Underwater Videography and Quadrat Counts [PDF]

, 2003
Populations of the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica have been in long-term decline in most areas. A major hindrance to effective oyster management has been lack of a methodology for accurately and economically obtaining data on their distribution and

Integration of Soft‐Robotics and Deep Learning to Assess the Coordinated Biosonar Emission and Reception Dynamics in Hipposiderid Bats

Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 1, February 2026.
Combining a biomimetic soft‐robot with deep‐learning data analytics sheds light on a unique peripheral dynamics seen in the biosonar system of bats: Bats modulate their ultrasonic biosonar signals upon emission as well as reception with variable, yet highly coordinated motion patterns of their noseleaves and pinnae.

A 16‐Year Green Sturgeon Population Survey: Investigating River Discharge, Species Identification, Sampling Technology, Survey Extent and Possible Spawning Cyclic Dominance

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Monitoring and understanding the population structure of anadromous fishes is vital to their conservation. The southern distinct population segment of green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris) is a threatened long‐lived anadromous fish, for which we have insufficient information about fundamental aspects of population structure.

Applicability of Traditional Acoustic Technology for Underwater Archeology: A Case Study of Model Detection in Xiamen Bay

Acoustics
This study addresses the applicability of conventional marine acoustic technologies for detecting non-metal artifacts. Based on the typical environment in Xiamen Bay, we evaluated the detection efficacy of common multibeam sonar, side-scan sonar, and sub-

Development of a 2 MHz Sonar Sensor for Inspection of Bridge Substructures

Sensors, 2018
Hydraulic factors account for a large part of the causes of bridge collapse. Due to the nature of the underwater environment, quick and accurate inspection is required when damage occurs.

Automated, objective texture segmentation of multibeam echosounder data - Seafloor survey and substrate maps from James Island to Ozette Lake, Washington Outer Coast [PDF]

, 2007
Without knowledge of basic seafloor characteristics, the ability to address any number of critical marine and/or coastal management issues is diminished. For example, management and conservation of essential fish habitat (EFH), a requirement mandated by
