Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mote Marine Laboratory is a nonprofit, independent marine and environmental science research organization.  Funds would continue the development and testing of a responsible stock enhancement technology that is being transferred to the State of Florida.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

Marine stock enhancement has enormous potential as a fishery management tool to help replenish Florida's depleted marine fish stocks.  This item will provide the results needed to optimize the cost-effectiveness of hatchery realeases to augment coastal fisheries and to ensure that stock enhancement actually increases fish abundance.
