Underwater Fish Surveys Report

The underwater fish survey report was issued in 2013. It describes the results from the analyses of data collected during underwater surveys (between 2002 and 2007) of common, endemic and target species. The report provides species abundance (per 100 square metres) and distribution only as percentage by site and not in their geographical/spatial extent. The report concludes with reccommandations for future surveys, which should be carried out all around the island, and for ia more robust legislation for spearfishing.
