Abstract
The primary objectives of the cruise were to gather additional data on habitat and fish assemblages in five of the South Atlantic Grouper/Tilefish MPAs as part of a long term sampling program to document changes in these areas before and after fishing restrictions were implemented. Efficacy testing of this management tool will aid fishery managers in future use of area restrictions for the protection of valuable habitat and fishery resources.
