Groupers (Epinephelidae) are ecologically important mesopredators that support valuable fisheries across the globe. Many groupers display slow growth and maturity, high longevity, ontogenetic habitat shifts, spawning-related migrations aggregations, protogynous hermaphroditism, which make them susceptible to overexploitation. In this review, I synthesize available information related management of grouper southeastern Caribbean U.S. highlight current challenges, such as managing multispecies reef fish with growing recreational fishing effort. discuss interventions limited success, establishing marine protected areas increase abundance hermaphroditism. also successes, recovering historically depleted stocks, ecosystem-based considerations in stock assessments. how climate change anthropogenic effects expected affect groupers. Lastly, provide examples stakeholder involvement monitoring efforts for stocks. The purposes review demonstrate complexities a road map future research conservation into these economically relevant fishes within beyond region.

Ongoing efforts to improve U.S. Caribbean fisheries management include increased consideration for human dimensions data and stakeholder input engagement. Given the significant pressure that local have sustained due environmental degradation, climate change, storms hurricanes, overharvesting, combined with critical gaps exist in both natural dimensions, it becomes particularly important understand fishers’ perceptions aspects influencing them promote will maximize wellbeing of these social-ecological systems. In this study, collected through surveys fishers Virgin Islands were used develop a correlation model test relationships between variables using heuristic model, Anthropic Impact Assessment Model (AIAM) as basis. Findings support application models, such AIAM, hypotheses complex fishery The most findings implications decision making region considering an indicator ecosystem health ecological knowledge process, under data-poor conditions, information can be better target outreach education efforts, well more effective recovery plans resilience adaptation including impacts disasters. Results study future analyses similar approaches guide incorporation into decision-making process elsewhere.

Sustainable Development Goal 15 recognises biodiversity conservation as essential to ecological stability. The focus of this research is on the efficacy ecosystem-based fisheries management a governance tool reduce loss in Asia. Our analyses data from 39 Asian countries 1996 2022. In productivity, examines corruption control, regulatory quality and efficacy. how population increase, climate change industrial value affect productivity. results showed that government control greatly benefit preservation. Regulatory initiatives combat have been shown harm biodiversity. main issue affecting change. Increased value-added expansion led task. Thus, avoiding involves multifaceted approach, fighting improving legislation governance.
