and endangered species acoustic monitoring, Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) assessment, benthic surveys, Sub-Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) mapping, marine mammal usage, etc. The information collected will be used to fill in important informational gaps in understanding the roles of the various species and habitats at the installations near shore environments. Program funds are to conduct natural resource surveys in support of NEPA documentation necessary to support the mission-critical project P-1294: Berth 13 Extension and Capacity Increase at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
