    • RESTORE Sponsored Research Project: Cooperative monitoring program for spawning aggregations in the Gulf of Mexico

    Metadata Updated: May 29, 2025

    This project compiled and evaluated existing information on fish spawning aggregations in the Gulf of Mexico as the basis to design a cooperative, Gulf-wide conservation and monitoring program focused on fish spawning aggregations. The investigators compiled existing biological and fisheries information for Gulf of Mexico species known or likely to form spawning aggregations and identified existing datasets and monitoring programs in the Gulf of Mexico that could inform regional monitoring of spawning aggregations.

    Lineage This project compiled and evaluated existing information on fish spawning aggregations in the Gulf of Mexico as the basis to design a cooperative, Gulf-wide conservation and monitoring program focused on fish spawning aggregations. The investigators compiled existing biological and fisheries information for Gulf of Mexico species known or likely to form spawning aggregations and identified existing datasets and monitoring programs in the Gulf of Mexico that could inform regional monitoring of spawning aggregations. The investigators synthesized this information and convened a regional workshop for stakeholders to prioritize a suite of species, habitats, monitoring methods, and areas of research moving forward. The investigators also engaged in a comprehensive outreach and data-sharing program to ensure all data and project outputs are available to inform management.
