Established in 1973, the Longline Survey at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science is one of the world's longest running fishery independent monitoring program for sharks, skates, and rays. Each month from June to September, survey scientists visit at least 8 fixed longline stations in Chesapeake Bay and coastal Virginia waters to monitor the distribution, abundance, and biology of adult sharks, which use these waters during seasonal migrations along the U.S. eastern seaboard.
