"This project uses a multi-tiered approach to evaluate Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). Spatial and temporal rates of movement of acoustically tagged snappers and groupers will continue to be measured in the Tortugas region, including annual spawning migratory movements between Rileys Hump (RH), the Tortugas Ecological Reserves (TERs) and the Dry Tortugas National Park (DRTO), including the Research Natural Area (RNA). In addition, key issues regarding the effectiveness of the Western Sambo Ecological Reserve (WSER) for protecting essential fish habitat, population structure, species diversity and connectivity of exploited predatory reef fishes and spiny lobsters will be addressed. Results will be used to assess the importance of habitat linkages between adjacent MPAs and provide information for an ecosystem-based approach to reef fisheries management."
