Title: Creation of USVI recreational fishing regulations [electronic resource] / prepared by William Tobias.
Entry Type: Published Work.
Abstract: "Recreational sport fishing for reef fish, coastal pelagic and pelagic species is a popular pastime in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Random household telephone surveys conducted by Jennings 1992 and Mateo 2004 indicate that approximately 10% of Virgin Islanders recreationally fish. Although commercial fishing regulations were legislated in1972, regulations . . .

Title: Cruzan fisheries [electronic resource] : a rapid assessment of the historical, social, cultural and economic processes that shaped coastal communities' dependence and engagement in fishing in the island of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands / by Manuel Valdés-Pizzini, Juan J. Agar, Kathi Kitner, Carlos García-Quijano, Michael Tust and Francesca Forrestal.
Entry Type: Published Work.
Abstract: "This study contributes to the description of fishing communities in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands and an understanding of their levels of engagement and dependence on fishery resources. It discusses how homesteading and gentrification limited fishing communities' access to the shore, transforming them from placed-based communities to network-based . . .

Title: Curvature Derivative Surface used to characterize the complexity of the seafloor around St. John, USVI
Entry Type: Metadata Record.
Abstract: Curvature was calculated from the bathymetry surface for each raster cell using the ArcGIS 3D Analyst "Curvature" Tool. Curvature describes the rate of change of curvature (in 1/100 z units) within a square 3x3 cell window. A negative value denotes concavity, while a positive value denotes convexity. The 2x2 meter resolution curvature GeoTIFF was exported . . .

Abstract: "The large number of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Caribbean (over 100) gives a misleading impression of the amount of protection the reefs and other marine resources in this region are receiving. This review synthesizes information on marine resources in two of the first MPAs established in the USA, namely Virgin Islands National Park (1962) . . .

Title: Depth (Mean) Layer used to identify, delineate and classify moderate-depth benthic habitats around St. John, USVI
Entry Type: Metadata Record.
Abstract: Mean depth was calculated from the bathymetry surface for each cell using the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst Focal Statistics "Mean" parameter. Mean depth represents the average depth value (in meters) within a square 3x3 cell window. The 2x2 meter resolution mean depth GeoTIFF was exported and added as a new map layer to aid in benthic habitat classification.
