Description:

"The study of Bajo de Sico (BDS) in Mona Passage represents a pioneer effort towards characterization of benthic habitats and associated deep reef communities on a submerged seamount of Puerto Rico. The work forms part of the research program priorities of the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (CFMC) for scientific documentation of closed fishing areas under Federal jurisdiction in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands (CFMC, 2000). BDS is a known red hind (Epinephelus guttatus) spawning aggregation site that was proposed for seasonal closure (December - February) by west coast fishermen as a management strategy for protection of the commercially valuable grouper stock. The reef was officially closed to fishing seasonally on December 7, 1996 (CFMC, 1996)"--Intro.
