The species became functionally extinct on many reefs, and this is believed to have played a key role in the subsequent expansion of macroalgal cover. The aim of the research is to elucidate the recovery dynamics of D. antillarum and evaluate the potential for active rebuilding strategies using hatchery release or transplantation approaches. Specific objectives are to: • Develop models of D. antillarum population dynamics and grazing impact; • Test models through systematic confrontation with population survey data, observational and experimental field studies, and meta-analyses; • Evaluate projected sea urchin recovery and grazing impact for alternative scenarios. This research is supervised by Dr. Kai Lorenzen, Imperial College London and funded by a NERC CASE Award.
