Northeast Salmon Team (NEST)
Project
Completed
Annual telemetry data are collected as part of specific projects (assessments within watersheds) or as opportunistic efforts to characterize Atlantic salmon smolt migration dynamics. Telemtry projects have since expanded to include the tracking of a variety of non-Atlantic salmon species.
To archive telemetry data for Atlantic salmon and other species as available.
Data only includes acoustic telemetry transmitter detections

NEFSC Data Access Procedure:
1. Formal request in writing usually to the data owner/contact or Center Director;
2. Requester is contacted by data owner to review and verify the request content and details for data delivery options.
3. If data is confidential then owner will determine if the data may be released to the requester;
4. If data can be released, the data is downloaded and packaged for delivery electronically; or the requester may be directed to where the data is available online.
