You can tell by this little spot back here. And Nassau grouper are ecologically extinct throughout a lot of the Caribbean. They have this unfortunate habit, similar to turtles, of coming together at part of their life stage where they become really vulnerable.
Thatís a photo from Belize. These are Nassau Grouper which are critically threatened throughout the Caribbean. Most of the spawning aggregations of Nassau Grouper have gone ecologically extinct in the Caribbean because they come together to breed, and thatís a very easy time to fish

them. In Belize, the government of Belize over the last thirty years protected all of the spawning aggregations of Nassau Grouper and in some places such as Glover's Reef, weíve quadrupled the spawning populations of Nassau Grouper as a result of protecting them where theyíre spawning and also more smartly managing the fisheries in the areas where weíre not able to protect that species alone.
Maybe Tara can start. I think this may be familiar to groupers . I think we are suggesting that there isn't one job role fix to how you bring these skills to government.
Historically, fishermen have decided to put nets around or hooks and catch them. But we do quite a lot throughout Belize to protect Nassau groupers . And now, all known spawning aggregations of Nassau groupers are protected, including Northeast Point at Glover's Reef, which has a big spawning event in February,
is endangered in the Caribbean. In the Pacific, let's say the grouper problem isn't good, but it's not as serious. It's in the Caribbean, and we were talking to Fran the other day. Would there be a possibility of introducing the predator into the waters of the Caribbean? What would that be?
that's a native species. But since it's endangered, and to end grouper fishing... I mean, even scientists... There was a scientist the other day in the United States... He wanted to talk to me about what needs to be done. It's about
But we do quite a lot throughout Belize to protect Nassau groupers . And now, all known spawning aggregations of Nassau groupers are protected, including Northeast Point at Glover's Reef, which has a big spawning event in February, March every year. Belize has cetaceans like a number of other countries.
then I think it becomes a lot more interesting. No one did, like, a second Grouper .
stand for which isn't always the top of groovy it's sometimes just the authentic it's the voice it's the it's the truth of the even the magnificence like in my new book of American Gastronomy whether it's a grouper sandwich or whether it's a a date shake or whether it's just a blueberry pie or any pie just catching pie is something that is so beyond so
choose things by the limitations that you've been given you will never ever kick ass so I think we kicked ass and I Gulf Coast you want to eat soft so crabs and you want to eat a fried grouper sandwich and you want to eat jambalaya
predatory species is that you're introducing another predator whose behavior and results nobody knows. But a possible solution was to incentivize grouper farming, since that's a native species.
It occurs between the most unlikely of organisms. For example, this little cleaner wrasse is swimming into the mouth of a large predatory grouper to clean out its teeth from parasites. Symbiosis also creates what we call emergent properties: things you wouldn't expect from this immediate interaction.
then I think it becomes a lot more interesting. But I think to me, like, kind of moving group, like what Grouper used to do, which was a competitor that died, but they set up three people,
So if you visit the Jewish ghetto, which is the historical district, about four city blocks today, where Roman Jews were confined to a squalid slum by order of the pope, you'll find a lot of the menus feature concia and carciofo alla giudia, but also grouper or other white flaky fish simmered with spices and served with couscous.
little fish don't see it as a predator. They approach it like it's nothing, like any other fish, and it eats them. The only fish that eats the lionfish in the Caribbean is the grouper , and the grouper is endangered in the Caribbean.
like the topic. So it makes people think, we educate them about ecological issues, social issues, and if possible, we also achieve something regarding... You go to restaurants that offer grouper and others say no because they are endangered. It's a matter of conscience, responsibility, and the law. There are groupers that are
Anyone know what these are? Gander? Failure. No. So they're Nassau grouper . You can tell by this little spot back here.

There needed to be a fisheries base there for patrols. is the critical commercial fishery interest, conch, different, several species of grouper , we have a long term shark monitoring program, interestingly the shark at Glover's Reef is
and if possible, we also achieve something regarding... You go to restaurants that offer grouper and others say no because they are endangered. It's a matter of conscience, responsibility, and the law. There are groupers that are endangered in the Caribbean, but not in the Pacific. The idea is that any product that is found in the sea
carefully and then you'll find some of them. It also had big fish there. So not just diverse fish, but it's one of the few places left in Asia where you can still find big sharks and big groupers and things like that. We're actually catching that shark, but we're catching it in the non--traditional way.
