  17. Conclusions • This new remote sensing technology • “is like Doppler weather radar for fish” • because it • (1) Instantaneously detects, images and continuously monitors fish population and population density over continental-shelf scales • and so • (2) reveals the detailed behavior of fish schools over wide areas. • It will be used to explore marine biology in the Gulf of Maine in 2006, • as part of the Census of Marine Life Program, with support from the Sloan Foundation, • the National Oceanographic Partnership Program and ONR.
