Research interests
focus on the socioeconomics of coastal and
marine areas, including the sectors of
fisheries, tourism, development, and management
tools, particularly marine protected areas.
Particular focus is on work with stakeholder
groups on attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs to
assist with management, analyzing the impacts of
macro-level changes on coastal and marine uses,
synergistic interactions of targeted and
ancillary management on stakeholders, and
studies with communities to develop marine
protected areas.
Current and recently completed research projects
include the examination of tourism-related
conflicts in Panama�s Darien coastal zone,
characterization of the US Caribbean trap fish
industry, determination of diver valuation of
no-take zones in the Florida Keys National
Marine Sanctuary, monitoring of long-term
changes in commercial fishing panels in the
Florida Keys, a spatial analysis of a decade of
spiny lobster catch in South Florida, the
effects of an effort reduction program on
Florida�s spiny lobster trap fishery, a
socio-historical review of trap fishing in the
US Caribbean, an assessment of community views
on marine protected area management in Vieques,
Puerto Rico, and visitor and stakeholder views
on cruise tourism and its impacts on the quality
of life in Key West, Florida, among others.
