• Description:
  This report provides guidance on the best practices for active- and passive-acoustic operations to enhance the understanding of reef-fish ecosystems. The acoustic workshop forged collaborative partnerships and provided direction for future training workshops on the integration of acoustic and optical technologies. These collaborative efforts are critical for building the next generation of experts, whose role will be to optimize survey operations with technologies for improving the sustainability of living-marine-resources in reef-fish ecosystems with connectivity across the geopolitical jurisdictions of the region.
