The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $350,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (CFMC) under the Regional Fishery Management Councils federal grant program (CFDA 11.441). Through this award, CFMC will work with contractors to assess a fish spawning aggregation site that is seasonally closed to fishing. The work will quantify red hind reproductive activity and relative abundances at Tourmaline Reef using multiple technologies, including diver underwater visual census, stereo diver operated video, remotely operated vehicle video, and passive acoustic monitoring. The contractors will also characterize the habitat requirements by collecting oceanographic data such as salinity, temperature, and conductivity. Additionally, CFMC will engage local fishermen to share information about the data collection methods and how the findings will inform revisions to fishing regulations as needed. This project will run from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026.
