Description:
Project goals were to collect visual census transect data enumerating all major species of groupers in order to determine if protection of fishes via ecological reserve designation was having any effect on population numbers; to identify additional areas that were potential spawning sites for grouper aggregations, primarily black and yellowfin groupers; to deploy split beam sonar to characterize the habitat and the biomass (target strength) associated with this habitat.
