20 Reef Fish Aggregations in the Keys Site Name Species Observed Description Western Dry Rocks Mangrove Toppino Eyeglass Bar Maryland Shoal Mutton snapper, gray snapper, yellow goatfish, mahogany snapper, spadefish, striped grunts Gray snapper Gray snapper, mutton snapper Gray snapper, yellowtail snapper Dozens of mutton snapper observed by divers May 2011, observations of 38 fishing boats on site in May 2011; Hundreds to over 1000 gray snapper observed over several months (June, July, and/or August) 2010 and 2012, with additional species Over 1000 gray snapper swimming in tight school over two successive days, August 2012 Hundreds of gray snapper observed over three consecutive months (June, July, August) 2010: Fishing boats observed catching mutton snapper in May 2012, no visual observation by divers Numerous schools of fish, large (30-50 cm) fish, swimming in close formation. Observations of 10 fishing boats (1 commercial, 9 recreational) fishing on gray snapper in July 2010

24 Grey Snapper at Mangrove Toppino Gray snapper aggregation
25 Closing Remarks: In Florida: No take marine reserves in Dry Tortugas have allowed for recovery of fish spawning aggregations Larvae produced there supply recruits to the rest of Florida and the SE Fish aggregations have been observed at several sites in the Florida Keys Although spawning has not been observed at these sites, we have learned today that: IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME
