Description:"We completed band transects, RVC cylinder point counts and REEF (Reef Environmental Education Foundation) roving diver surveys on fixed stations in the Tortugas Ecological Reserves, north and south, in order to characterize resident fish populations. We conducted habitat characterization transects as well on stations in both reserves. We retrieved and redeployed temperature loggers and overnight video cameras on the primary stations where mutton snapper aggregate in large numbers. Additionally, we completed a total of 22 hours of split beam sonar operations over three nights, mapping and characterizing habitat and fish aggregations"--P. [1].
