  • DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada) scientist Robert Gregory takes his team to a site known to house juvenile Atlantic cod in Newfoundland, Canada. The cod fishery was one of the world's largest until a crash in the early 90's which left 40,000 fisherman out of work overnight. The fishery has still not recovered, but researchers are working to try to bring their populations back up.

  • Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) off Newfoundland Canada were once one of the most caught and eaten fish in the world. In 1992 the fishery collapsed and nearly 40,000 people lost their jobs overnight. Juvenile cod and many other heavily fished species use seagrass as a nursery. The healthier the seagrass is, the better fisheries will likely be.

  • A fisherman's cage is pulled up by researchers. It is illegal to fish for Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus) December - February in the Bahamas when this image was taken. Lack of enforcement is a common issue in Bahamian fisheries. The scientists tagged and released the fish. It is part of an ongoing study to learn about the amazing phenomenon known as the grouper spawning aggregation. During the winter full moons the normally solitary grouper gather en masse to spawn at certain locations throughout the Caribbean and are especially vulnerable to over-fishing. Learning about these aggregations is of major importance to protect and manage the economically and culturally important fishery for these critically endangered fish.

  • How do you restore 9000 acres of seagrass? One handful at a time. A volunteer with The Nature Conservancy grabs a handful of eelgrass (Zostera marina) flowering shoots, containing seeds. The seeds will be used to contribute to the world's largest seagrass restoration project off Virginia's East Coast.<br />
<br />
Seagrass sequesters carbon more efficiently than rainforests and this technique is being repeated now off the coast of the United Kingdom. These restorations could really help in our fight against climate change.<br />
<br />
Seagrass in the area was wiped out by disease, bottom trawling and a hurricane in 1933, killing a major scallop fishery in the process. In the early 2000's Dr. Robert J. Orth started the restoration project with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. To date, the project has restored over 9000 acres of seagrass meadows. The benefits are already showing and a recreational scallop fishery may be in the near future.
