Abstract
A programme of 16 aerial digital surveys of BOEM’s Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS-A) 0520 lease area, off the coast of Massachusetts, were conducted between December 2019 and November 2020 using APEM Inc.’s (APEM) high-resolution camera system to capture digital still imagery. Images collected have been analyzed by APEM and quality assured by Normandeau Associates (Normandeau). Raw counts and design-based abundance estimates of all species and incidental observations recorded during the surveys are presented here as well as information on species distribution and flight direction.
