Abstract
Aerial marine species monitoring occurred 29 April through 01 May 2013 for a Firing Exercise (FIREX) with Integrated Maritime Portable Acoustic Scoring and Simulator (IMPASS) event that occurred in the Jacksonville (JAX) Range Complex off the eastern coast of Florida within the United States (U.S.) Navy’s FIREX boxes BB and CC. These types of events occur periodically throughout the year and allow the U.S. Navy to fulfill essential training requirements.
