The Atlantic Marine Assessment Program for Protected Species (AMAPPS) is a comprehensive multiagency research program, which overarching goal is to assess the abundance, distribution, ecology, and behavior of marine mammals, sea turtles, and seabirds throughout the U.S. Atlantic outer continental shelf and to evaluate these data within an ecosystem context where the results are accessible to managers, scientists and the public. AMAPPS is a multi-agency research program involving the National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, and the U.S. Navy. A range of tools are used including collecting visual, passive acoustic, and telemetry data of protected species, along with direct (e.g. nets and active acoustics) and indirect (photographic and satellite imagery) sampling of other trophic levels. |
