Since 2003, Dr. Jerry Ault of the University of Miami, in collaboration with Bonefish & Tarpon Trust, and the Florida Keys Fishing Guides Associations has conducted annual census counts to measure trends in bonefish populations. Bonefish are a good indicator of overall ecosystem health, and initial results this year show their numbers are trending downward.
