Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) and Oregon State University collaboration will focus on salmon surveys along the West Coast that includes physical oceanographic measurements, biological samples of plankton and fish, distribution and abundance of bird species, and information on salmon prey fields. The surveys will provide important data that will help NOAA understand, manage, and conserve marine resources in the face of changing ocean conditions.
