\nOverview of Marine Surveys of Wake Island<\/strong>
\nThe Cooperator shall conduct a series of surveys at WIA that focus on fish species surrounding the atoll as well as sea turtles. The three survey types include: annual recreational fishery surveys, Bumphead parrotfish surveys, and sea turtle surveys. The recreational fisheries surveys shall utilize the methodologies of predecessor site visits in order to ensure data are comparable across years. The fisheries surveys shall focus on not only commonly harvested sport fish targets, but also non-target species which are incidentally caught. In 2018, USAF funding was issued to the Bishop Museum to conduct the atoll\u2019s first year of data collection under the revised recreational fishing program, instituted under the 2017 INRMP. The methods used by the Bishop Museum as described in Reference A shall be replicated by the
\nCooperator to the greatest extent for the recreational fisheries surveys.
\nThere is interest from the command to continue tracking the atolls bumphead parrotfish populations in surrounding waters, given the rare nature of the species and its sensitivity to human impacts elsewhere in its range. In 2011, population estimates were documented based on surveys of the surrounding waters of the atoll. The resulting publication, Reference B, shall be used by the Cooperator to replicate the survey methods and approach for this specific species survey, so as to compare results across years. The bumphead parrotfish surveys will be specific to this species and shall result in a population estimate or index that can be tracked in future years.
\nThe third and final survey type is a sea turtle survey. The command would like more information about the species of turtle, the sex ratio, and the age classes of sea turtles using
\nWake Island. In addition, further detail on how long they reside in waters near wake and where they venture to prior or before arriving to Wake Island is also of interest. This data can be captured using satellite tag technology. Sea turtle data yielded from this project shall be used by the USAF in future years for impact analysis exercises in alignment with the National
\nEnvironmental Policy Act and Endangered Species Act.
