ontribute to the character of coastal communities.
According to the CALobster website: CALobster provides a forum for fishermen, together with scientists, managers, and others, to participate productively in fisheries and reef ecology, data collection, and other research activities designed to advance spatially-explicit stock assessments, ecosystem-based and zonal-based management, and the conservation of fishing cultures. We are a collaboration of marine stakeholders, including especially the California Lobster and Trap Fishermen's Association (CLTFA) and UC Santa Barbara marine scientists.
CALobster is training students in multi-disciplinary approaches to fishery ecology and fisheries co-management. According to the website: This is possible only with the participation of committed mentors, including fishermen, ecologists, economists, anthropologists, trades people and craftsmen, policy makers, managers, and philosophers.
Some scientists and managers point out that the increase in the California spiny lobster population in the marine reserve network is an indicator that marine protected areas can be an effective tool in ecosystem health. All these MPA monitoring studies advance a broad understanding of how coastal ocean ecosystems respond to changes in management, said John Ugoretz of the California Department of Fish and Game.
