Fisheries
Author unknown. 1988. Fisheries
A series of VIRMC fisheries projects done from 1984-1987 had the following objectives: to study the role of fishing in the culture and economy of the VIBR, to assess the fish and shellfish stocks, to determine an ecologically realistic definition of fishery management zones around St, John, to determine if management zones should include the BVI or other areas outside VIBR, to see if fish and shellfish stocks within the VIBR or at Buck Island are declining, and to initiate an effective program for long-term monitoring of fisheries. Lesser Antillean fisheries were also characterized. In this section, these VIRMC studies and other pertinent reports are discussed. Mahon et a. (1987) prepared an annotated bibliography of references on fisheries in the Lesser Antilles.
