Description:"The goal of this project was to determine the amount, type, and spatial pattern of fishing activity within the Madison-Swanson and Steamboat Lumps MPAs as well as within adjacent areas open to fishing on the west Florida shelf. The study had three main objectives: 1) to develop field sampling methods using fixed-wing aircraft for obtaining georeferenced data on fishing and other vessels operating within the Madison-Swanson and Steamboat Lumps MPAs and adjacent areas; 2) to develop a statistical sampling design and conduct seasonal aerial surveys of vessels in the target MPAs and adjacent areas; and 3) to develop statistical analysis procedures for quantifying fishing and other vessel activity within the survey domain"--P. 3.
