Includes bibliographical references. Long-term monitoring of changes in species abundance and community composition within marine protected areas (MPAs) is essential to assess whether conservation goals are being reached. The costs, logistics and sampling biases inherent to traditional monitoring methods limit sustainable monitoring in all MPAs along the South African coastline. Baited remote underwater video (BRUV) technology offers non-extractive monitoring with lower labour and cost requirements, whilst eliminating inter-observer variability and increasing statistical power. Species richness and relative abundance were assessed employing BRUV technology in the Stilbaai MPA in the Western Cape, South Africa. ... [The] result corroborated findings from traditional underwater visual census (UVC) and controlled angling surveys, confirming BRUV technology as a sound monitoring tool. 2015-01-15T08:57:08Z 2015-01-15T08:57:08Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12181 eng application/pdf Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
