PRELIMINARY CRUISE REPORT STATE DEPARTMENT CRUISE ID: DOS-2006-113 NOAA CRUISE ID: NF-07-05 SHIP NAME: NOAA Ship Nancy Foster CLEARANCE COUNTRIES: United Kingdom, for Anguilla and British Virgin Islands Dominican Republic Guadeloupe/France, for Saint Martin and Saint Barthelemy Netherlands Antilles, for Saba, Sint Eustatius, and Sint Maarten Saint Kitts and Nevis The United States Virgin Islands' (USVI) Grammanik Bank, located to the south of St. Thomas, is the site of multi-species spawning aggregation for economically important fish including yellowfin grouper, Nassau grouper, tiger grouper, and dog snapper. Fishing pressure at this suspected source of larval recruits prompted the Caribbean Fisheries Council in 2004 to close the bank yearly from February - April. A series of banks south of the USVI (St. Thomas and St. John) and the British Virgin Islands (BVI) provide similar habitats and spawning aggregation sites. Unfortunately, the biological and physical processes which drive production on these banks, the circulation connecting these banks, and the flows across these banks have yet to be quantified. Absent such data, management decisions (including Marine Protected Area [MPA] designations and temporary closures) are presently based on professional judgment rather than quantifiable, defensible scientific information. To address this data gap, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists from the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) and Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) in Miami, Florida, working with scientists from the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) in St. Thomas are conducting a three-year interdisciplinary research project using the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster to conduct biological and physical oceanographic surveys of the Virgin Islands' bank ecosystems and surrounding regional waters. The long-term sustainability of fisheries in the VI and surrounding regions will depend on a comprehensive understanding of regional spawning aggregations, larval transport, and overall larval recruitment in the study area. |
* Purpose |
The project is directed at answering one over-arching question: How are unprotected VI banks, MPAs such as the Hind Bank Marine Conservation District, seasonally closed areas such as the Grammanik Bank, and inshore areas ecologically linked via regional reef fish larval dispersal, transport, and life-history patterns? This survey sampled water properties, currents, , and dispersal and transport of settlement-stage larvae in the VI and neighboring regions. Once the biological samples have been sorted and the oceanographic data have been analyzed, results from this cruise should yield not only an understanding of regional spatial variation in the supply of settlement-stage fishes, but also insights into the relative importance of Grammanik Bank and its MPAs as a source of juvenile fishes recruiting to the waters of the VI. Specifically, results should address the following questions: How do the abundance and composition of ichthyoplankton around Grammanik Bank and other similar banks change with space and time? How much of this variation in abundance and composition can be explained by the oceanographic setting? How do the oceanography and ichthyoplankton assemblages interface with the boundary areas of seasonally or permanently closed MPAs? |
