計畫資料

The relationship between people and the ocean in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) has shifted dramatically over the past three decades, with rapid growth in tourism, coastal development, and fishing pressure placing increasing strain on fragile marine ecosystems. These pressures, compounded by climate change, threaten biodiversity and the long-term sustainability of TCI's economy, which is heavily reliant on healthy marine environments. While Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) were established as early as the late 1970s, many suffer from inadequate capacity for long-term monitoring and management and poor user compliance, limiting their utility. Currently, there is opportunity for meaningful conservation impact, due to an availability of compatible research equipment in the territory and heightened political interest locally in evaluating and possibly amending the MPA network. To target this opportunity, a network of 20-35 acoustic receivers will be installed across strategic areas spanning four existing MPAs, two proposed area extensions, and adjacent unprotected waters. The project will investigate species residency, habitat use, and area connectivity for approximately 90 animals across at least three ecologically and/or economically important target species (using surgically implanted Innovasea V13 and V16 transmitters). Mutton snapper (Lutjanus analis) and whitespotted eagle rays (Aetobatus narinari) are identified as priority species in the initial phase, with southern stingrays (Hypanus americanus) selected as a third focal species. Findings will directly inform marine spatial planning, strengthen local management and monitoring capacity, and contribute to the establishment of the Turks and Caicos Acoustic Telemetry (TCAT) Network as a long-term shared resource for environmental monitoring and species conservation.

Acoustic tags released.

方法步驟描述:

1. This resource was created by the Ocean Tracking Network Data Centre as a summarized representation of animal presence determined by electronic tagging efforts. Darwin Core (DwC) records were extracted from the OTN database and filtered and summarized according to international agreed-upon standards.
