This Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Management Projects (CFDA 11.454) federal grant program provides $148,666 to Mote Marine Laboratory, Inc. to engage two commercial vertical line reef fish vessels in a 12-month pilot project. The project will use vessel electronic monitoring (EM) systems to generate imagery data on catch composition, effort metrics, catch condition, and release attributes for the snapper-grouper complex in the South Atlantic. This data will enhance understanding of fishing practices, support stock assessments, and aid bycatch management. The project will also test artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms developed for the Gulf longline fishery to automate data analysis and streamline the EM review process, potentially reducing time and costs.
