CRCP Effects of Trap Fishing on coralline habitats 2001-2006

Description

This dataset is derived from a Coral Reef Conservation Program-funded project to access effects of trap fishing on coral reefs and associated habitats in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Florida Keys. These data are fishery-dependent and include GPS locations of trap buoys, habitats targeted, and effects on traps on coral reef organisms encountered. Field work was conducted with local partners: FWCC in Florida Keys UPR-M in Puerto Rico and USVI Fish and Wildlife in US Virgin Islands.
