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 transect lines traveled by CSESP vessels for mammal and avian surveys. Lines are oriented north-south within the study areas (Klondike, Burger, and Statoil). A primary or secondary designation has been assigned to each transect lines in alternating pattern. The data set parameters include study area and type; survey line ID; the start and end latitude and longitude coordinates for the line; the type of survey line; which year the line was surveyed and if the line was primary or secondary priority. Please see the data set CSESP 2008-2013 Study Areas for information regarding the Klondike, Burger, and Statoil 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
