CARIPES Quantification of ecosystem services provided by marine protected areas in the Caribbean with a view to their payment
Cuantificación de los servicios ecosistémicos que brindan las áreas marinas protegidas del Caribe con miras a su pagoBrief Description:The project aims to increase fishermen’ support to MPAs and to actively involve them in the conservation efforts and in the sustainable use of the marine resources of Caribbean MPAs. The assessment can be used to develop a system of payment for ecosystem services and establish a transfer of money from the users towards the fishermen. The establishment of a scheme of payment for ecosystem services within a marine protected area project in Martinique and in two MPAs in Saba and the British Virgin Islands aims to promote such efforts by establishing a fund transfer from the users towards the fishermen. Beyond the financial aspects, the implementation of such a process intends to change the image related to the world of fisheries: rather than being considered as a destructive force of the marine environment, it would be seen as the guardian of its good health. The project is developing avenues in this direction so that the traditional knowledge of the fishermen is valued. It may also mark the stages for the implementation of payments for ecosystem services in MPAs in coastal areas in the Caribbean and in other parts of the world.El proyecto tiene como objetivo aumentar el apoyo de los pescadores a las AMP e involucrarlos activamente en los esfuerzos de conservación y en el uso sostenible de los recursos marinos de las AMP del Caribe.

Improving the management of the invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans) by determining movement patterns and depth preference
Mejorando la gestion del pez león invasor (Pterois volitans) determinando sus patrones de movimiento y preferencia de profundidadBrief Description:The overall goal of the project is to identify new ways to limit the ecological and economic impacts of invasive lionfish both locally and regionally. Acoustic tags were surgically implanted in 30 lionfish during the first of two tagging phases. tagging have strong site fidelity and are not moving great distances on the continuous deep reef wall. They are staying with 200m horizontally of where they were first tagged. However, many lionfish are making regular vertical movements to depths beyond recreational dive limits. lionfish appear to be subject to predation from native predators at rates much higher than previously suspected. Acoustic data indicates that between (14-32%) of tagged lionfish were preyed upon up to 3 months post-tagging. Nurse sharks are thought to be the primary predator, as the project team encountered difficulties with these native predators on numerous tagging dives. Data gathered from these tags regarding horizontal and vertical movement patterns of these lionfish will inform future management plans. This is a BEST 2 initiative project.El objetivo general del proyecto es identificar nuevas formas de limitar los impactos ecológicos y económicos del pez león invasor tanto a nivel local como regional. Las marcas acústicas se implantaron quirúrgicamente en 30 peces león durante la primera de las dos fases de marcado. el marcado tiene una gran fidelidad al sitio y no se mueve grandes distancias en la pared continua del arrecife profundo. Se quedan a 200 m horizontalmente de donde fueron marcados por primera vez. Sin embargo, muchos peces león realizan movimientos verticales regulares a profundidades más allá de los límites del buceo recreativo. El pez león parece estar sujeto a la depredación de los depredadores nativos a tasas mucho más altas de lo que se sospechaba anteriormente. Los datos acústicos indican que entre (14-32%) de los peces león marcados fueron depredados hasta 3 meses después del marcado. Se cree que los tiburones nodriza son el depredador principal, ya que el equipo del proyecto encontró dificultades con estos depredadores nativos en numerosas inmersiones de marcado. Los datos recopilados de estas etiquetas con respecto a los patrones de movimiento horizontal y vertical de estos peces león informarán los planes de gestión futuros.

Scaling-up Efforts to Rehabilitate Threatened Coral Communities Using Recruits Reared from Wild-caught Gametes
Ampliación de los esfuerzos para rehabilitar comunidades de coral amenazadas utilizando reclutas criados de gametos capturados en la naturalezaBrief Description:Developing a tile that can be seeded with coral recruits and quickly and cheaply reintroduced to degraded reefs. The tile designs will be tested in a field setting with various coral species and under different environmental conditions. This is a long-term rearing of this critically endangered coral species,and shows that early outplanting of sexually reared coral settlers can be more cost-effective than the traditional approach of nursery rearing for restoration efforts aimed at rehabilitating coral populations.This a BEST 2 initiative project.Desarrollar una loseta que se pueda sembrar con reclutas de coral y reintroducir rápida y económicamente en arrecifes degradados.
