Abstract:

This data set was created for 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 and 2012 the scope of the study area was expanded to include the Hanna Shoal Regional Study Area. The scope was revised again in 2013 and scaled back from a Chukchi Regional approach and focused once again on the Klondike, Burger, and Statoil study areas.
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 information about sampling locations for the baseline chemistry, benthic ecology, chemical oceanography, fisheries ecology, physical oceanography, and plankton ecology and nutrients disciplines. The locations were designed to be re-used each open water study season. IDs for locations have been standardized and used across scientific disciplines. Most stations are evenly spaced at 7.5 and 15 nautical miles along transects within the Hanna Shoal Regional Study Area. The fixed sampling station parameters include station name, latitude and longitude of station location, the study area the station falls within, the type of study the station was sampled for, the study year the station was sampled, and whether the station was used. Please see the data set CSESP 2008 - 2013 Study Areas for information regarding the Klondike, Burger, Statoil, and Hanna Shoal Regional study areas.

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.
