Item Identification

Title: CRCP Effects of trap fishing on coral reefs and associated habitats in the Florida Keys
Short Name: CRCP Effects of trap fishing on coral reefs: Fl Keys
Status: In Work
Publication Date: 2012
Abstract:

We conducted surveys of trap distributions, targeted habitats, trap damage to coral reefs and associated habitats, and spatial/temporal distribution of catches. Field work was conducted with local partners: FWCC in Florida Keys (this data set); UPR-M in Puerto Rico; and USVI Fish and Wildlife Div. in US Virgin Islands.

Purpose:

The goal is to assess whether trap fishing is damaging coral reef organisms and if so, to what extent.

Lineage

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 195376
Description:

Investigators conducted boat-based surveys per prescribed methodology to locate surface buoys attached to traps, targeting either lobster or stone crab. Locations of trap buoys were recorded with a handheld GPS. Traps were generally observed with an underwater video camera to document location and habitat. A subset of traps were surveyed by SCUBA divers to assess damage to habitats or structural organisms including hard and soft corals, sponges, alga, and seagrasses. Location data were plotted in GIS project with habitat layers from NOAA Benthic Habitat Maps.
