SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council will host a presentation from
Gulf of Maine Research Institute staff entitled ``Simulated larval
dispersal of snapper-grouper species to evaluate the efficacy of
spawning Special Management Zones.'' The presentation involves five
spawning Special Management Zones (SMZs) designated off the coasts of
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida. These are marine protected
areas that were explicitly designated to increase the spawning and
recruitment of species in the snapper-grouper complex by protecting
important spawning areas from fishing pressure. Each location was
chosen as a potential source of high recruitment for the broader
region. It was unclear, however, if the oceanographic conditions around
the spawning SMZs favor recruitment success. Therefore, for several
species, larval dispersal via ocean currents was simulated from each
SMZ to investigate whether they can effectively serve as sources of
recruitment for the snapper-grouper populations in the region.
A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation. Members
of the public will have the opportunity to participate in the
discussion. The presentation is for informational purposes only and no
management actions will be taken.
