Advice is provided to meet specific management goals, which include mitigating specific impacts on the environment, such as minimising changes to surrounding sediments, spread of exotic species or growth of nuisance species, and/or enhancing specific natural resources, for example enhancing fish recruitment or promoting diverse assemblages for eco-tourism.

Retention areas are important for fish recruitment and production of food for many life stages [20], [33].

Variability in fish recruitment has long been linked to the overlap in space and time between larval and juvenile fish and their prey [1].

For example, lionfish have been shown to reduce native fish recruitment on experimental patch reefs in The Bahamas [5] and reductions in reef fish recruitment may be exacerbated by lionfish predation upon juvenile native fish in important nursery habitats such as mangroves and seagrass beds [6] possibly limiting the supply of economically important reef fish recruits [7].

For example, Ricker [1] introduced a discrete-time population model to forecast fish stock recruitment given by begin{aligned} x{ k+1)}=x{ k)}exp biggl r- frac{x k)}{K} biggr), end{aligned} (1.1) where (x k)) represents the number of individuals of generation k, r is the intrinsic growth rate and K is interpreted as the carrying capacity of the environment.
