Fisheries Independent/Scuba Assessment Project

Project staff uses scuba-based and other fishery-independent methods to gather fish and invertebrate data from nearshore environments. The project goal is to provide information to improve management of nearshore resources. Staff activities include data collection for stock assessments, evaluation of marine protected areas, and determination of life-history parameters for various species. Scuba Assessment Project staff often work collaboratively with other agencies, academic institutions, and the fishing community on large-scale monitoring and research efforts.
