The Southwest Marine Fisheries Center is proposing that a marine reserve be set aside to serve as a refuge for several species including lobsters (benthic species) and rockfish (demersal species). Absolutely no fishing will be allowed in these areas. It is expected that fish/invertebrates in these areas will provide larvae/juveniles for surrounding areas as well, thus maintaining population sizes outside the refuge. How would you determine which areas should be designated as a refuge? What physical and biological aspects would need to be examined? For example, how would prevailing currents impact your choice? How many refuges (and how large) would be desirable and how would they be related to each other? How would you design your refuge system to withstand potential climate changes? For instance, how might El Niño or ocean warming due to climate change affect survival in your refuge and what might the impacts be to fisheries?
