N-146 Objectives Considered




Features

Values

Discussion

7

Objective #3: Seasonal protection of spawning aggregations




Artificial Reefs

Visual-Include Areas

Include step reef artificial reefs to help juvenile fish recruit to be able to make it out the larger reefs ~40’.
Use Juno Pier as the demarcation line for mariners (good visual).
Keep western boundary to shoreline for high value of sea turtle nesting.
Eastern boundary for high diving and fishing opportunities.
Squared off in the north to include Blowing Rocks area. Area of interest for management action to be moved forward.

Objective #5: Protect areas with high percent coral coverage, density and/or species richness




Piers

Visual

Objective# 6: Protect 20-30% of each type of representative reefs and associated habitats in the SEFCRI region from extractive use (no take)




Spawning Aggregations

Visual-Include Areas

# Coral Species




Didn’t include area to the shore because that shoreline is mostly hardened.
Discussed issue of Mangrove/ Estuary connectivity (to offshore), that this is quite a distance away and the shoreline isn’t natural.
Drivers were #reef fish and reef fish density. Looked at grey

Snapper Spawning aggregation areas.
