项目摘要

For decades, fisheries and offshore energy in the Gulf of Mexico have developed concurrently, with offshore oil and gas platforms providing fisheries habitats and fishing opportunities for many commercial and recreational fishers. This project will quantify how fisheries use the highly productive artificial reef ecosystems found on offshore oil and gas platforms and produce tools to better understand the impacts of future offshore development (e.g., wind installations) on fisheries. This project will establish the framework for an ecological-economic fisheries model that integrates spatial data from commercial and recreational fisheries and data from ecological parameters, including diversity, abundance, and connectivity, to realize the direct and indirect value that offshore platforms provide for fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico. The goal is to facilitate decision-making for decommissioning and future offshore energy development that considers the ecological, economic, and social implications of the removal or addition of artificial structures on fisheries. The broader impacts of this project will improve sustainable use of fisheries resources for economic growth, create streamlined pathways to capitalize on existing ocean resources, and improve interactions between disconnected ocean-related sectors in the Blue Economy, while also providing educational opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico region.

几十年来，墨西哥湾的渔业和近海能量同时发展，海上石油和天然气平台为许多商业和休闲渔民提供了渔业栖息地和捕鱼机会。该项目将量化渔业如何使用在海上石油和天然气平台上发现的高生产性人工礁生态系统，并生产工具，以更好地了解未来的海上开发（例如，风安装）对渔业的影响。该项目将建立一个生态经济渔业模型的框架，该模型整合了来自商业和休闲渔业的空间数据，以及来自生态参数的数据，包括多样性，丰度和连通性，以实现墨西哥湾渔业为居民平台提供的直接和间接价值。目的是促进决策和未来的海上能源开发，以考虑去除或增加人工结构对渔业的生态，经济和社会含义。该项目的更广泛影响将改善渔业资源的可持续使用来实现经济增长，创造精简的途径以利用现有的海洋资源，并改善蓝色经济中与海洋相关的脱节相关部门之间的相互作用，同时还提供墨西哥湾地区的教育机会。
