Status of Anguilla's Marine Resources 2010

This book represents the culmination of much of the ecological survey work conducted by The Department of Fisheries and Marine Resources (DFMR), Government of Anguilla, British West Indies, between 2006 and 2009. It is hoped that these data will act as a baseline for the newly established Anguillan Marine Monitoring Program and allow for future temporal comparisons not possible before, due to the paucity of data available for the island. Other work that has been carried out during this time by DFMR is available online at www.gov.ai and includes detailed results of work cited within this book and protocols used to collect data sets. It is important to recognize that none of this would have been possible without the valuable support of dedicated individuals at DFMR and local fishers operating within Anguillan waters.
