Tech. Report: Friedlander, A.M., and J. Beets. 2008. Temporal Trends in Reef Fish Assemblages inside Virgin Islands National Park and around St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, 1988-2006. NOAA Technical Memorandum NOS NCCOS 70. 60 pp.
Monitoring News: Bagged, Tagged and Returned for Research! http://savannahnow.com/node/500357 NOAA's Biogeography and Gray's Reef Sanctuary staff tagged several groupers to track their movements in Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary,off the coast of Georgia. This work will provide an improved understanding of fish movements and locations, which helps resource managers do a better job of conserving marine species, their prey and their habitat.
