Queen conch, Strombus gigas, is an important fisheries species that has been over-harvested in many locations throughout the Caribbean including Florida. The conch population in the Florida Keys has been slow to recover due, in part, to diminished recruitment and declining environmental conditions. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the efficacy of management strategies aimed at conserving and restoring queen conch populations. As such, this study examined the effects of juvenile conch habitat quality on metamorphosis. This manuscript may be cited as Kowalik, Gretchen, Megan Davis, Amber Shawl, Robert A. Glazer, Gabriel A.
