Akins L. 2006. Final Report, Biscayne Cryptic Reef Fish Inventory, March 2005 - September 2006. National Park Service
Between March, 2005 and September 2006 teams of REEF expert volunteers conducted 337 visual fish censuses at 158 sites among 9 habitat types within the Biscayne National Park (BNP) near Miami, Florida. 276 species were documented during the biannual surveys from 10,728 sightings records, adding 66 species to the BNP inventory list of fishes present in the park. This effort resulted in significant increases to the BNP fish species list utilizing a cost effective, volunteer-based, non-extractive method. These data may also be of considerable value in other education/outreach efforts and as baselines for future studies.
