This project is occuring within the larger context of a global effort to understand the movements of fishes relative to landscapes and the boundaries of MPAs. In addition to our work here in the Keys, we are either working directly, or through collaborators, at sites in the Gulf of Maine (northwest Atlantic) and Belize. Additional work is planned for New Zealand, California, and Kenya. We hope to better characterize fish movement behavior such that management measures, such as marine protected areas, can be designed optimally for more effective managment.For instance, we have tagged a total 11 princess parrotfish and 5 blue parrotfish, both grazing species, 7 hogfish, a benthivore (or bottom feeder), and 7 yellowtail snapper, a fish which often feeds up in the water column. Data on movement from these three functional groups will help managers understand how their approaches to management protect the community of fishes, rather than a single species alone.
