Life Science Interrelationships Between Corals and Fisheries I n t Interrelationships Between Corals and Fisheries is derived from a workshop e held by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council in Tampa, Florida in May r r 2013, where world authorities came together to discuss the current problems in e managing tropical fisheries and offered suggestions for future directions for both l a researchers and environmental resource managers. This book addresses current t i and emerging threats as well as challenges and opportunities for managing corals o and associated fisheries. It provides an information baseline toward a better n understanding of how corals and the consequences of coral condition influence s h fish populations, especially as they relate to management of those populations. i p The book contains content from presentations modified as a result of interactions s and discussions with colleagues and peer reviews by global experts in corals and B e fisheries. Many chapters include additional materials not presented in the work- t shop. There are also papers that were not presented at the workshop but contrib- w ute to the central theme of the book. Topics covered include: e e n • Global decline in coral reefs and impacts on fishery yields • Distribution and diversity in the Gulf of Mexico C o • Implementation of Coral Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (CHAPCs) r • Deepwater coral/sponge habitats a • Coral populations on offshore platforms l s • Mangrove connectivity for sustaining coral reef fisheries a • Restoring deepwater coral ecosystems and fisheries after the Deepwater n Horizon oil spill d • Predictive mapping of coral reef fish F Covering a range of subject matter, most of the chapters offer suggestions for i s future research on the interrelationships between corals and fisheries. In addition, h the final chapter presents a summary on these interrelationships and discusses e r managing them for the future. i e s K20377 ISBN-13: 978-1-4665-8830-1 90000 9 781466 588301 CRC Marine Biology SeRieS The late Peter L.
