Habitat-based enhancements, such as artificial reefs, are sought out as management tools to enhance fish populations and fishing opportunities. Although artificial reefs are considered as a fishery management tool, their deployments typically do not consider the overall socioecological fisheries system and linkages. The overall goal of this dissertation was to evaluate the impacts of artificial reefs and understand the implication of management actions for the Gulf of Mexico red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus). For the second chapter, I synthesized the impacts of artificial reefs on socioecological fisheries systems using a systematic review. The synthesis revealed that artificial reefs may result in a net negative effect on fisheries as socioeconomic benefits outweigh the biological benefits and artificial reefs may function as a social-ecological trap. In the third chapter, I determined recreational anglers' preferences for current and alternative management regulations for the recreational red snapper fishery. More conservative harvest restrictions like shorter seasons and smaller bag limits were least preferred and respondents were heterogeneous in their preference for harvest tags as an alternative regulation. For the fourth chapter, I created a simulation model that includes natural reefs and the implementation of artificial reefs. This model was applied to the fifth and sixth chapter. In Chapter 5, I evaluated outcomes of artificial reef placements and assumptions of their effects on fish and fishers. The placement of artificial reefs made an impact on overall fishery outcomes, where artificial reefs placed further away from shore provided the most benefits. In the sixth chapter, I used a management strategy evaluation framework to evaluate the impacts of artificial reef placement strategies in coordination with management decisions on the recovery of red snapper, long-term catch, and the shortening of season length. These artificial structures must enhance biological productivity and should be placed in areas of high recruitment to simultaneously achieve sustainability of the red snapper population and increased catch. This dissertation has important implications for artificial reef, red snapper, and quantitative fisheries research and calls for better integration of fisheries research and decision science approaches for implementing these structures to ensure their success as a fishery management tool.
