Sturgeon Mobile Tracking for the New NY Bridge at Tappan Zee 2015 Final Report Prepared by AKRF, Inc.

7250 Parkway Drive, Suite 210 Hanover, MD 21076 for New York State Thruway Authority October 2, 2015

New NY Bridge Project A. INTRODUCTION PERMIT CONDITIONS AND ENDANGERED AND THREATENED SPECIES PLAN In addition to the compensatory mitigation projects required to offset potential environmental impacts from construction of The New NY Bridge, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has required in its Permit the preparation of an Endangered and Threatened Species Mitigation Plan. This Plan details a series of studies that, when completed, would result in a Net Conservation Benefit for endangered shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon. These studies were designed to provide new ecological information and to promote conservation measures for Hudson River sturgeon. While previous studies have already provided information on the movement patterns, foraging habits, and benthic habitat associations of shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon within the Hudson River, DEC has indicated that additional information would improve management and conservation efforts.

This Incidental Take ECL Article 11 permit (Permit ID 3-9903-00043/00014) requires adherence to the approved Net Conservation Benefit Plan as outlined in the permit. The permit states:

F. Tracking of acoustically marked fish from the vicinity of the bridge construction site and other locations to contribute knowledge of species distribution and habitat use with the Hudson River Estuary. Two techniques will be used: Stationary Gateway receivers, described in Permit Condition 40, below; and Mobile tracking.

ii. Mobile tracking will be designed to provide a more precise location to determine the bottom and habitat type the tagged fish utilizes. The 50 km stretch of river centered on the Tappan Zee Bridge will be monitored by mobile tracking for tagged fish two days per week on a schedule to be determined and approved by the Department as part of the final Endangered and Threatened Species Mitigation Plan. Tracking procedures will be consistent with NYSDEC procedures.

Progress reports will be submitted to the Department on a schedule to be developed, with data files, numbers of fish caught, tagged or lavaged, and a summary of work to present, including progress in stomach content analyses and/or fish tracking data1.

Mobile tracking of sturgeon was approved as one portion of the Plan, with the goal of increasing our understanding of the spatial distribution, movement, and habitat use of Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon within the Hudson River. As part of the mobile tracking effort, three quarterly reports and one final report have been prepared. This is the final report, which summarizes the results of mobile tracking during the 12-week tracking effort conducted in 2015.

This final report also summarizes the combined 40 weeks of mobile tracking conducted by the Authority in 2014 (28 weeks) and 2015 (12 weeks). The 2014 data were presented in last years quarterly reports for the project, but are also included here for summary purposes and to compare the locations and movement of acoustic-tagged sturgeon between 2014 and 2015.

1 Reporting on sturgeon capture, lavage, and stomach content analysis will be submitted as part of a separate but related Net Conservation Benefit project.

Mobile Tracking - 2015 Final Report B. MOBILE TRACKING DESCRIPTION OF STUDY AREA Mobile tracking during the course of the project was conducted from the George Washington Bridge (GW Bridge) at River Mile 12 to Buchanan, NY at RM 42. This 31-mile study area was divided into three river segments (see Figure 1). At DECs request, the northern extent of the 2015 study area was Stony Point at RM 39. The three river segments are as follows:

  • GW Bridge - this segment is the area between the GW Bridge (RM 12) and the Tappan Zee Bridge (TZB) (RM 27);
  • Tappan Zee - this segment is the area between the TZB (RM 27) and the southern terminus of Haverstraw Bay (adjacent to the tip of Croton Point Park on the west side of the park), including all of Croton Bay (RM 33); and
  • Haverstraw Bay - this segment is the area between the southern terminus of Haverstraw Bay (RM 33) and Buchanan, NY (RM 42).

METHODS Acoustic-tagged sturgeon were tracked within the 31-mile study area using a Lotek dual-hydrophone and receiver tracking system (Lotek Wireless, Inc., Newmarket, Ontario). By determining the locations of tagged sturgeon, it is possible to investigate the fine-scale movement patterns and habitat associations of these fish. Tracking methods were consistent with the tracking protocol developed and used by DECs Hudson River Fisheries Unit, Hudson River Estuary Program.

Forty weeks of mobile tracking were conducted in the study area over the course of 2014 and 2015. Mobile tracking during the first season was conducted two days per week between April 28 and November 7, 2014 (weeks 1 through 28). Tracking resumed the following spring and was conducted two days per week between May 7 and July 22, 2015 (weeks 29 through 40).

Tracking was conducted aboard a 21-foot research vessel equipped with two hydrophones, located on the fore port and starboard sides of the boat. The hydrophones were directly connected to an onboard laptop computer running the Lotek MAP software, which was actively monitored by a crew member during tracking.

The general approach to tracking consisted of searching a series of fixed stations located in one of the three river segments with the goal being to find tagged sturgeon. Based on previous work by DEC, and using an estimated minimum signal range of approximately 500 m, it was determined that a spacing of approximately 1 km between search points was adequate to allow full coverage of each river segment. In the narrow portion of the river from the GW Bridge (RM

12) to Dobbs Ferry (RM 22) (see Figure 1), the minimum detection range is sufficient to detect all tagged fish between the shores of the river from the center of the channel. In these areas, searching was conducted from the center of the river channel at 1-km increments. In the wider portion of the study area between Dobbs Ferry (RM 22) and Stony Point (RM 39), the river is too wide to search the entire area in one pass. Therefore, search points located on 1-km grids were used. This grid design was adapted to allow the tracking crew to cover each river segment quickly, while minimizing the risk of allowing any tagged fish to go undetected. The location of October 2015 3

New NY Bridge Project the grid points were rotated sequentially between three different sets of grids to avoid a detection bias.

Tracking each day began by searching at the first search point, which consisted of driving the boat in a tight circle for a period of at least two minutes with both hydrophones submerged. The rear 65º of the hydrophones were covered with a baffle to provide directionality by preventing detection of tag signals from the stern. The location of each search point and all tag IDs detected at that location were recorded at the search point (search) in a database using a 4G data-enabled iPad tablet with an average GPS accuracy of 7 feet and equipped with the Fulcrum GPS application. If the signal strength for any of the detected sturgeon indicated that one of the sturgeon was relatively close to the search point, the boat was moved in the direction of the strongest signal until three consecutive signals with a strength of 90 or higher were received, at which point, the tagged fish was considered found at that precise location. Tagged fish that were tracked but not found were determined to be close if three consecutive powers of 80 or higher are received by the hydrophones. At this time, a waypoint was recorded as a found point (found), or a close point (close). If the tracked sturgeon was not located as close or found, the crew moved on to the next search point. Throughout the tracking day, data on all search, close, and found points were backed up by uploading data to the Fulcrum server.

C. RESULTS SEARCH EFFORT BY RIVER SEGMENT (2015)

In 2015, sturgeon tracking occurred on 24 days between May 7 and July 22, 2015 (weeks 29 through 40; Table 1). Over the course of these 24 days, 9 days were spent tracking in Haverstraw Bay, 8 days were spent tracking in the Tappan Zee region, and 7 days were spent tracking in the GW Bridge region. The full search grid was completed on all but two tracking days (i.e., June 2 and July 7), which had to be abbreviated due to poor weather conditions.

DETECTED STURGEON (2015)

During the 24 tracking days, a total of 870 search points were sampled, with an average of 36 search points each tracking day. Over this time, 261 detections of 32 uniquely tagged sturgeon (15 Atlantic sturgeon and 17 shortnose sturgeon) were made at search points, which included sturgeon classified as detected, close, and found1. The number of uniquely tagged sturgeon detected in each the three regions was the same; however, the average number of sturgeon detected per day was highest in the Haverstraw Bay and GW Bridge regions and slightly lower in the Tappan Zee region (Table 2). The number of uniquely tagged sturgeon detected among the three regions was similar for both Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon (Table 3)2.

All sturgeon detected during mobile tracking were tagged by either the Thruway Authority or by DEC. See Appendix A for a summary of sturgeon that were detected or found in 2014 and 2015.

1 Sturgeon classified as close and found are considered a subset of all detected sturgeon.

2 Individual tag IDs were often detected in more than one river segment so the numbers of detections are greater than the number of individual tags.

During the 24 days of tracking, a total of 61 found fish points were recorded (Table 4, Appendix B). These points corresponded with 23 uniquely tagged sturgeon, of which 8 were Atlantic sturgeon and 15 were shortnose sturgeon (Table 5, Appendix A). The number of found sturgeon was highest in the Haverstaw Bay region and only slightly less in the GW Bridge region. Similarly, the number of uniquely tagged sturgeon and the average number of found sturgeon per day were both comparatively higher in the Haverstraw Bay and GW Bridge regions and lower in the Tappan Zee region. The majority of Atlantic sturgeon were found in Haverstraw Bay, while the majority of shortnose sturgeon were found in the GW Bridge region (Table 6).

Both of the Atlantic sturgeon were found in the deeper waters of the river channel, while the shortnose sturgeon were more commonly found in the shallower waters of eastern Haverstraw Bay, Croton Bay, and the western shallows of the Tappan Zee region. Shortnose sturgeon were occasionally found along the edge of the channel but infrequently occurred in the deepest areas of the channel.

New NY Bridge Project FOUND STURGEON (2014-2015)

During the entire 40-week tracking effort in 2014 and 2015, a total of 331 sturgeon were found. In general, Atlantic sturgeon were concentrated in the northern portion of the study area and in the deeper waters of the navigation channel, while shortnose sturgeon were more evenly distributed throughout the study area and were more frequently found in shallower water and near the shoreline (Table 7, Appendix D).

Location maps for individual sturgeon were prepared for all sturgeon that were found more than once during the 40-week tracking effort (Appendix D). Atlantic sturgeon (n=9 individuals) were found almost exclusively in the channel and nearly always upstream of the Tappan Zee Bridge. Shortnose sturgeon (n=29 individuals) moved throughout the study area, but were most commonly found in the shallower areas. Many of the shortnose sturgeon were found within a specific area (e.g., eastern Haverstraw Bay, Croton Bay) on numerous occasions over the course of several months and were often in the same area over consecutive years. Fourteen of the 29 shortnose sturgeon found on multiple days during mobile tracking were found within the same area in both 2014 and 2015. This may indicate some level of site fidelity, although its not possible to determine from the tracking data where sturgeon were located on days between tracking events or how widely they ranged during that time.

Table 7 Percentage of Found Sturgeon by Region (2014-2015)

River Segment Atlantic Shortnose Haverstraw Bay 61 77% 101 40%

Tappan Zee 8 10% 94 37%

GW Bridge 10 13% 57 23%

INTERANNUAL TRENDS FOR FOUND STURGEON (2014-2015)

To provide a fair comparison for interannual analysis, the 2014 tracking data were subset to include only the May 1 through July 25 time period. The resulting 2014 and 2015 datasets covered the same time period and contained the same number of tracking events per region in both years (i.e., annual effort for Haverstraw = 9, Tappan Zee = 8, GW Bridge = 7).

The number of sturgeon found during 2014 was approximately twice that found in 2015 (Table 8). The observed decline in the number of sturgeon is likely a result of expired tag batteries for juvenile Atlantic sturgeon tagged by the Authority in 2014 and shortnose sturgeon tagged by the DEC in prior years. There were also fewer subadult Atlantic sturgeon found in 2015 (i.e., only 8 of 30 subadults tagged in 2014 were found in 2015).

Abundances of both species, in terms of the numbers found, were highest in Haverstraw Bay during both years (Table 8). Atlantic sturgeon specifically were found more frequently in Haverstraw Bay and less frequently in the downstream regions during both years.

Shortnose sturgeon were fairly evenly distributed among the three regions, but in both years the highest number of shortnose sturgeon occurred in the Haverstraw Bay region. In 2015, fewer shortnose sturgeon were found in the Tappan Zee region compared to the other regions.

Atlantic sturgeon were found at depths averaging 12 to 18 meters and were found at depths that exceeded the average depths searched in all three river segments. In contrast, shortnose sturgeon were found at depths that were comparable to the average surveyed depths (i.e., 6 to 8 meters). Shortnose sturgeon in the GW Bridge segment were found at slightly shallower depths than the average depths searched (i.e., 6 meters vs. 8 meters).
