Abstract
Given the serious population declines in the Nassau grouper and mutton snapper, the CFMC/WECAFC/OSPESCA/CRFM Working Group on Spawning Aggregations agreed to strengthen efforts at the regional level. These efforts are aimed to improve the conservation of a critical life stage, their spawning aggregations, including development of a regional management plan and a communication strategy that would support the urgent call for action to maintain / recover the spawning aggregations of these two-coral reef-associated and highly commercially and cultural valuable species.
