Abstract:
Aerial marine species monitoring occurred on 13 and 14 March 2013 off the eastern coast of Virginia for a Missile Exercise (MISSELEX) training event within the Virginia Capes (VACAPES) Range Complex. These types of events occur periodically throughout the year and allow the United States (U.S.) Navy to fulfill essential training requirements.
