Fig. Mean and std. dev. of natural mortality in reef or lagoon with casitas (green) and lagoon without (blue) casitas.

Proposed Management Principles -progressively remove effort from southern reef area. - focus casita’ fishing effort on northern seagrass and hard bottom areas, where large juvenile and sub-adults are not present -do not increase fishing effort.

Campo system using 50m separation between concrete casitas as designed in Southern Mexico have shown to: - shelter new recruits - aggregate lobsters - reduce juvenile mortality in certain habitats (i.e. seagrass , or hard bottom where there is no natural refuge in close proximity
