Florida Fish and Wildlife scientists have been using telemetry to study the movement of several grouper and snapper species in the Dry Tortugas since May of 2008. In 2013, the Keys Finfish Research team shifted their focus from the Dry Tortugas to the rest of the Florida Keys Reef Tract. Through a network of approximately 130 acoustic receivers, scientists are studying the movement patterns of species such as mutton and gray snapper, black grouper, lionfish, permit and even spiny lobsters. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This shapefile contains the coordinates to 48 locations where VR2 acoustic recievers were located in 2015. There are accompanying links to images taken at depth at each location. This project is part of a larger effort to track fish of commercial and recreational importance, identify areas of aggregation, and eventually identify locations of spawning aggreagations for future management decisions.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
