A new tool may have helped prevent the overfishing of Gulf gag grouper. Challen Hyman, a researcher at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science, and his colleagues created a statistical model that factors in how anglers actually behave when regulations change.
By including human behavior, the model produces more accurate predictions of fishing pressure and helps managers set season lengths that are both practical and conservation-minded.
This month, innovation met the water. We were proud to host an FIO Demo Day at the Maritime and Defense Technology Hub.
Come join us for an exciting event where tech enthusiasts gather to share knowledge, network, and have fun!
Faculty, researchers, and students from the USF College of Marine Science have been settling into spaces across the Innovation District following the recent fire, continuing their important work.
