Abstract:
The Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative (SEFCRI) was established as a local action strategy in 2003 to better manage coral reefs in southeastern Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Martin counties). To support that effort, we profiled all commercial and recreational marine fisheries (reef fish, coastal, offshore pelagic, and invertebrates) in the SEFCRI region using available data for 1990-2000. Over the 11 yrs, at least 261 species were recorded in landings1. Mean total annual landings for all fisheries was 21.4 million lbs/yr (range 17.7-26.9) and consisted of 66% recreational, 31% commercial, and 3% headboat landings. Total finfish landings declined 22% (23.2 to 18.1 million lbs) over the study period (p = 0.022)".
