Survey methods, data collections, and species observations from the 2015 survey to SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Marine Protected Area / by K.S.P. Gale ... [et al.].: Fs97-6/3206E-PDF

"Bowie Seamount, which has a minimum depth of 24 m and is located approximately 175 km west of Haida Gwaii, is the shallowest and best-known seamount in Canada’s Pacific Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Initial research on the biology of Bowie Seamount, coupled with interest from the Haida Nation, led to Bowie Seamount and the adjacent Hodgkins and Davidson (also called Pierce or Peirce) Seamounts being designated in 2008 as the SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Marine Protected Area (SK-B MPA), which is co-managed by the Government of Canada and the Council of the Haida Nation. In 2015, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) led a research survey (PAC 2015-48) to study the biology and oceanography of SK-B MPA. This report describes the collection of benthic imagery, plankton samples, hydro-acoustic data, CTD data, water samples, and seabird and marine mammal observations”--Introd., p. 1.
