  1. An overview of CALobster (California Lobster Collaborative) Matt Kay – UC Santa Barbara

  2. What is CALobster? A regional partnership among Santa Barbara area lobstermen, academic marine scientists, policy analysts and economists, state and federal management agencies and non-profit organizations.

  3. CALobster Goals and Objectives • Develop co-management structure and • governance • Advance fishery science through collaboration • Improve fishery management through EBFM • Assess MPA performance and use as research • tools (e.g. stock assessment) • Develop socioeconomic understanding and • explore market strategies • Develop decision models for management • that utilize empirical data and encourage • learning • …and…INTEGRATE!

  5. Port sampling regions during 2004-05 and 2005-06 lobster seasons. Fisheries research plan • Port sampling of commercial catch • Trap based tagging studies

  6. What can we learn? • Port sampling • Monitoring of fishery over space and time • Habitat associations (seafloor mapping, at sea • sampling, SCUBA) • Trap based tagging studies • Population size structure inside vs. outside • Movement, habitat associations (mapping, SCUBA) • Growth rates • Age structure of fished vs. non-fished (MPA as tool • here - natural vs. fishing mortality estimates for stock • assessment models)

  7. Fisheries research plan • Port sampling of commercial catch • Trap-based tagging studies

  8. Trap based tagging studies

  9. What can we learn? • Port sampling • Monitoring of fishery over space and time • Habitat associations (seafloor mapping, at sea • sampling, SCUBA) • Trap based tagging studies • Population size structure inside vs. outside (compare • to port sampling for outside sites) • Movement (including spillover), habitat associations • (mapping, SCUBA) • Growth rates • Age structure of fished vs. non-fished areas (MPA’s • as tools - natural vs. fishing mortality estimates for • stock assessment models)

Report to DFG, CLTFA, CINMS and UCSB
