Purpose:

The objectives of the Chukchi Sea Environmental Baseline Studies Program are: 1. To provide data for pre-exploration and development-related activities 2. To provide data for permit applications 3. To provide input to planning of future operations and associated mitigation 4. To provide additional baseline data that can be used to assess and measure the potential environmental effects of offshore oil and gas exploration and development in the northeastern Chukchi Sea

Abstract:

This data set was collected as part of the Chukchi Sea Environmental Studies Program (CSESP), a multi-year, interdisciplinary ecological study focused on areas in outer continental shelf oil and gas leases in the northeastern Chukchi Sea. In 2008 when the program began, two 30 x 30 nautical mile study area boxes were developed around areas of interest to ConocoPhillips and Shell. The ConocoPhillips study area (named Klondike), and the Shell study area (named Burger) became the focus of data collection. Data were collected from these two study areas again in 2009. Then, in 2010, Statoil joined the program, and a third study area, Statoil, was created and sampled as well as Klondike and Burger. In 2011, the scope of the study area was expanded to include the Hanna Shoal Regional Study Area. The CSESP interdisciplinary studies include acoustic monitoring, baseline chemistry, benthic ecology, chemical oceanography, fisheries ecology, marine mammal ecology, physical oceanography, plankton ecology and nutrients, and seabird ecology. This data set contains length-frequency fish measurements from samples collected from bottom and pelagic trawl surveying completed August 24-31, 2011 in the greater Hanna Shoal study area in the northeastern Chukchi Sea. The parameters for this dataset include the haul number from which the sample came; the common and scientific name of the sample; the sex, length and height measurements, and number of specimens measured; the egg color, condition, clutch fullness; shell condition; the title of the report the data set supports; the contractor who recorded and analyzed the data; and any additional notes concerning the sample. Please see the data sets entitled Fish Haul Data, NE Chukchi Sea, 2011; and Fish Catch Per Unit Effort, NE Chukchi Sea, 2011.

Data_Quality_Information:

Lineage:

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Each year the primary investigators spent approximately nine months analyzing their data and then produced a discipline specific annual report for CSESP and a final data set. The final data had to adhere to a predetermined data protocol and pass through a data validation tool in order to be accepted by the data manager. Data that did not pass validation were returned to the primary investigators to be corrected and resubmitted for validation.
