Abstract:
Designing effective marine reserves for fisheries management requires an understanding of the movement rates and ranges of key fishery species and how these species use habitats within and outside reserve areas. In this project, the Perry Institute for Marine Science mapped marine habitats, and examined the habitat use and movement of key Caribbean fishery species, particularly Nassau grouper in existing and proposed marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Bahamas.
