This information collected will be used to evaluate the utility of an experimental fishing closure on one of the most pristine reefs under US jurisdiction in the tropical Western Atlantic. Data collected during this mission (pre-closure) will provide baseline information necessary to evaluate closure efficacy and assess whether the closure should become permanent. Purpose: Character string: Comprehensive maps of the benthic habitats of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary are lacking. In order to develop a fish and benthic monitoring plan at the scale of the sanctuary, benthic habitats need to be mapped. We intend to use existing imagery and more recent multibeam backscatter to improve existing benthic habitat maps for the sanctuatry.
