In response to IRA funding to NOAA, a collection of projects under the essential data acquisition subcomponent have been bundled as a single proposal from the cooperative institute for climate, ocean, and ecosystem studies (CICOES). A total of 8 projects totaling $6,623,175 funds address research needs within the integrated west coast pelagics survey (IWCPS) and advanced technology strategic initiatives including active acoustics, omics, passive acoustic monitoring, remote sensing, and social science. All projects are led by university of washington principal investigators with aligned NOAA sponsors from noaas alaska fisheries science center, the northwest fisheries science center, the pacific islands fisheries science center, the southwest fisheries science center, or oars pacific marine environmental laboratory. Collectively these projects address analysis of active acoustic data using artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, integration of edna technology to supplement fish biomass assessment surveys, improve passive acoustic data analysis, management, and application, model global ocean property attributes, and to further use existing data to assess fisher health and wellbeing. Results of these projects are expected to support
