"A more than 30-year marine conservation effort in the U.S. Virgin Islands
helped aid the recovery of a fish species important in commercial, recreational
and subsistence fisheries, a new Oregon State University study found.
Red hind, a species of grouper in the Caribbean, historically experienced
intense fishing pressure, which led managers to implement progressively
restrictive fishing closures in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
In a study just published in
Frontiers in Marine Science, researchers at
Oregon State and the University of the Virgin Islands found that the fishing
restrictions at the location they studied helped lead to a more than 35%
increase in average fish size and the recovery of the population to a benchmark
considered sustainable for many fish species."
