The MTBAP will be conducting small boat surveys in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) during September 2019 - September 2021 to add to our growing database of species occurrence, individual identification, biological samples for assessment of stock structure and abundance, and satellite attachment to elucidate habitat use and distribution in this region.
