JCH ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 28 Dec 1995 10:22:44 -1000 (HST) From: Ed Parnell To: Coral Health and Monitoring Program Subject: Re: Injection Wells in West Maui Deb Schulman and Ed Laws in the oceanography dept. at UH found that ammonia, nitrate, silicate (indicator of freshwater), and del N-15 ratios were higher at Barbers Point and Ewa Beach than most other areas of Mamala Bay. They implicated cesspools to account for the high ammonia and/or groundwater intrusion from the Ewa plain (cultivated for sugar cane for the last 100 years) to account for the other high variables. The pattern of higher nutrients and del N-15 was robust over the ranges of seasonal variation they observed. This work was part of the Mamala Bay study. Brad Gould, in a separate study within the MBS, found that nitrate concentrations were significantly correlated with wave energy. The relationship was non-linear; nitrate concentrations increased with increasing wave energy, and the slope at which nitrate concentrations increased became steeper with increasing wave energy. Pore waters (including groundwater) are pumped by increasing wave energy. This all means that groundwater is a likely significant source of nitrate. Algal diversity and biomass was quantified as part of MBS by Alison Kay et al. They studied three areas; 1) the natatorium (Waikiki) 2) Sand Isalnd and 3) Honouliuli. Algae were studied at three depths 7, 17, and 27 m during winter 94, summer 94, and winter 95. Temporal and spatial variability of dry weight data was so great, just by looking at their graphs (no stats done unfortunately), that no clear pattern emerged. Algal diversity (as # of genera; no diversity indeces were calculated) was highest at Barbers Point. Lynbia and Pterocladia were dominants at all three sites.

I am not looking for verbose treatise on the subject of what is "healthy" versus "non-healthy". What I am looking for is what specific variables (i.e., biomass, diversity, presence/absence, physico-chemical, indicator species) you would feel should increase or decrease, and in what magnitude, in order to say the system is improving in overall condition. Note that I am looking for criteria to measure significant improvement, not total restoration (that is another kettle of fish altogether!) Some variable that have been suggested to date (although in many cases still requiring some degree of being quantitative) are: - Nutrients and suspended sediments reduced (by how much? or to what level?) - Macro algae bloom and coverage decrease (by how much? or to what level?) - Increase sea urchin population (by how much? or to what level?) - Tortugus shrimp harvests restored to recent historic levels to support a MSY of 10 million pounds annually - Increase in population of common snook (by how much? or to what level?) - Increase in recruitment of Gray Snapper (by how much? or to what level?) - Restoration of larval and juvenile spiny lobster habitat (loggerhead sponges) to their historic range (what is that range?) - Increase in sighting of jewfish (by how much? or to what level?) - Increase in sighting of sea turtles (which species? by how much? or to what level?) - An increase in coral cover by 15-20% (is this realistic? to low? to high? key species?) - Restore coverage and species composition of seagrasses to mid-1980s level - Increase in wading bird, osprey and brown pelican populations (by how much? or to what level?) Any input or comments that address the above "by how much? or to what level?" questions, and/or additional variable to employ as criteria for success would be most appreciated. I am not sure if it is best to send your input directly to me at my Internet address, or to respond via this coral list server. The former may help to limit loading the server with what some may consider not to be of interest, however the latter approach may serve to stimulate some useful discussions. I would appreciate input ASAP. Many Thanks and Cheers, Michael --------------------------------------------------- Dr. Michael P.

As part of this year's JASON VII Project, millions of students across the county have the opportunity to accompany Dr. Jerry Wellington, via telepresence, as he studies the natural cycle of climate change over several hundred years. If funding to the Aquarius project is cut, this part of the JASON project, and countless other projects dependent upon the Aquarius, may be eliminated. Our plan is to encourage JASON Students, and their parents, to write to their congressional delegation in Washington requesting Congress not to cut funding for the Aquarius Project. We are planning on posting information about the Aquarius on both the JASON Student and JASON Teacher Bulletin Boards. We need your help! We need the facts. We would like to generate a list of how the research projects using the Aquarius will benefit mankind. Any information you could e-mail us would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Mellie Lewis G.T.

Mike Marshall 1996 Florida Keys Marine Ecology Courses at Mote Marine Laboratory's Pigeon Key Marine Research Center ----Pigeon Key, Florida---- Florida Bay and Florida Keys Ecosystems May 10 - June 1, 1996 3 credits (optional) Course Description: An introduction to the Florida Keys and Florida Bay. Community descriptions and functional inter-relationships of the mangrove communities, seagrass beds, coral reefs and their inhabitants will be emphasized. Field trips to Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Monument, and numerous other sites will be included in this course. Lectures, field trips, and boat cruises will focus on interactions between the Everglades, Florida Bay, and the Florida Keys. Habitat mapping, seagrass growth and physiology, plankton ecology, coral reef studies, fish ecology, and a variety of other subjects will be covered during the cours Coral Reef Ecology August 9 - August 23, 1996 2 credits (optional) Course Description: The biological and physical processes responsible for coral reefs will be introduced and discussed in detail. Particular emphasis will be placed on integration of concepts ranging from chemical to community levels. Current topics in reef science will be discussed based on readings from recent scientific literature. A series of evening presentations, discussions and debates will address reef management issues and students will conduct projects to explore areas of interest in more detail. Prerequisites (both courses): Students should have had basic courses in chemistry and biology. Courses in botany, zoology, ecology, or geology would be helpful Application Procedures & General Information: An application and summer session brochure should be requested by either sending in one of the by writing to the address below, or by sending an e-mail request to FKMRC@marinelab.sarasota.fl.us.

LAST OPPORTUNITY !! Dear Colleagues> By now the final programme of the workshop should have been completed, however, this has not been possible due to a reduced number of propositions regarding the topics to be discussed at the workshop. This information does not guarantee, as of yet, a representative view of the problematic in all of Latinamerica. The interest in this particular workshop is such, that the organizing committee of the Symposium has been able to obtain an offer of additional funds to support participants of this particular workshop. However, without a final program on time, these funds may not be available at all. WE ONLY NEED A LIST OF THE RELEVANT PROBLEMS, WHICH FROM A FORMAL POINT OF VIEW, ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT IN A GIVEN LATINAMERICAN COUNTRY IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE PROPER MANAGEMENT OF LOCAL CORAL REEFS. The addition of a small paragraph explaining why each topic is relevant, and which one would you like to address at the Workshop, will be of great help. FINAL DATE FOR RECEPTION: February 28th, 1966.

This assemblage processed along the reef for several hundred meters and was seen 10-15 minutes later by another team on another part of the reef. We have never seen this behavior before or since and are curious about it. One suggestion in discussions has been that it may be similar to the mobbing behavior of birds in the presence of a predator. We would really appreciate any insights that you can provide about this.

Box 2310 Belize City, Belize Tel: 501-2-33855 FAX: 501-2--31963 E-mail: jpowell@btl.net or jcarter@mailbox.une.edu Glover's Reef atoll and marine reserve is located approximately 50 km off the coast of central Belize. It is considered to be one of the most pristine and important coral reef sites in the Caribbean. Due to the isolation of Glover's Reef atoll, there is little influence from coastal sedimentation or pollution. It is considered to be one of the most ideal sites in the world to conduct coral reef research (Dahl, MacIntyre & Antonius. 1974. A comparative survey of coral reef research sites. In: Marie-Helene Sachet and Arthur Dahl. Atoll Research Bulletin. 172: 37-75.). Consequently the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in cooperation with the Government of Belize has established a permanent research station at Middle Cay located on Glover's Reef. WCS along with the Government of Belize would like to invite scientists and graduate level students who are interested in working at Glover's Reef to contact James Powell at jpowell@btl.net or Jacque Carter at jcarter@mailbox.une.edu for more information. The marine reserve at Glover's Reef atoll is a major component of a general comprehensive program for coastal zone management for Belize, Central America. In a broad sense the reserve was established to maintain ecological processes, preserve genetic diversity, achieve sustainable yields of its resources through wise management of species and their habitats, maintain natural areas for education and research and provide social, and economic benefits through ecologically sensitive recreation and tourism. Keenly aware of the need to protect this world class resource, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) purchased the island of Middle Cay, situated at the southern end of the atoll, for the purposes of providing a marine park headquarters for the Government of Belize and to establish a marine research field station. WCS has completed construction of this facility and now provides a base of operations for park rangers and scientists alike. WCS's over-arching mission is to provide for the long-term conservation and protection of Glover's Reef atoll. To accomplish this goal, WCS is working in close collaboration with the government of Belize to develop a coordinated research and management program for the atoll. WCS's primary responsibility in this partnership is scientific research. In the coming years, we hope that the research on Glover's Reef atoll will lead to a better understanding and management of this coral reef. The Comparative Investigations of Tropical Reef Ecosystems (CITRE) program identified Glover's Reef as the most preferred site in the Caribbean for "long-term, multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional investigation of coral reef ecosystems" (Dahl, MacIntyre & Antonius. 1974. A comparative survey of coral reef research sites. In: Marie-Helene Sachet and Arthur Dahl. Atoll Research Bulletin. 172: 37-75.). The authors reported, "In contrast to the other reefs surveyed in the Caribbean area, Glover's Reef atoll appears to offer the greatest variety of reef types, and the optimum reef development in terms of population density and species diversity of reef corals and associated organisms". In addition to Glover's Reef, Belize's extensive barrier reef is 30 km away. The WCS research station on Glover's Reef atoll is located on Middle Cay. The present facility includes a ranger station and visitor's centre, a dry laboratory and work area, dining and cooking facilities (meals are provided and we have an excellent cook) and current housing for eight scientists and/or students. There are boats, air compressor and SCUBA tanks for researcher support. Aquarium facilities will soon be installed. The station is completely self-sufficient with full-time electricity (110 vac) provided by a complementary system of wind and solar power. Fresh water is available through a (soon to be installed) de-salination plant and rain-water catchment. Refrigeration is available. Toilet facilities are state-of-the-art pollution-free, containment composition type. One aim of the station is to utilize, whenever possible, non-polluting and energy efficient technology. WCS invites any scientists or students interested in using the Glover's Reef Research Station to please contact: Glover's Reef Marine Research Station, P.O.

These belong to the primitive family Dynomenidae. They are not unlike the xanthid or "black-fingered" crabs but have the last pair of legs very reduced and obsolete. Dynomenids tend to be covered in a fairly dense layer of setae. There are only about 13 species known and they are mostly small: around 10 - 30mm carapace width in size. I am writing a monograph of the whole family. These crabs mostly belong to the genus "Dynomene" and have been collected from "Pocillopora", "Goniastrea", and "Porites" corals. They seem to live only in the dead part of the coral head or perhaps in the coral rubble at the base. Since I have never seen live ones I have a number of questions: 1) Have you ever seen any crabs like these? - if you have any samples I would be happy to identify them for you. 2) Are there any data from whole-coral head samples of co- inhabitants which include these dynomenids? 3) Has anyone made any observations of live dynomenid crabs? How do they feed? Do they sometimes live in the live part of the coral head? Any help that you can give will be greatly appreciated.

I am sure that, if you look in books on coral reef fishes, you will find many references to that behavior. All the best.

Author: MCGRATTA@scccvc.corning-cc.edu at ~INTERNET Date: 2/5/96 10:29 AM I July, 1995 we were surveying a reef on the Northern end of San Salvador Island in the Bahamas when we encountered a close swimming school of about 30 bue tang surrounding a 1.5 meter reef shark. This assemblage processed along the reef for several hundred meters and was seen 10-15 minutes later by another team on another part of the reef. We have never seen this behavior before or since and are curious about it. One suggestion in discussions has been that it may be similar to the mobbing behavior of birds in the presence of a predator. We would really appreciate any insights that you can provide about this.

Public Invited TUESDAY, February 13, 1996, 3:15-4:45 P= M Rayburn House Office Bldg., Room B369 Reception Following INTRODUCTION Rafe Pomerance, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Environment and Development, US Department of State, Washington, DC. SPEAKERS Dr. Raymond L. Hayes, Howard University, Washington, DC. Dr. Alan E. Strong, National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Annapolis, MD. OVERVIEW Coral reef bleaching is a reduction in the density of dinoflagellate algae (marine microscopic plants) that are housed in reef ecosystems. Bleaching also represents a reduction in algal pigments, rendering reef corals bleached or white in appearance. Consequently, coral reef bleaching represents an uncoupling of the mutually life-sustaining association between algae and coral. Corals do not receive their normal nutritive support from the algae, and the algae do not receive the protective nutritive environment afforded by the corals. Coral reef bleaching was first observed in the early 1980's. Since that time reef ecosystems in all tropical regions of the globe have experienced repetitive and more frequent episodes of mass coral reef bleaching. Although elevated salinity, toxic chemicals, elevated UV radiation, reduced temperatures, and prolonged shading due to cloud cover have been demonstrated to induce coral reef bleaching locally, there is no evidence of these factors being responsible for mass coral reef bleaching episodes. Observations also indicate that mass coral reef bleaching has coincided in space and time with the warmest season and with warmer than usual sea surface temperatures (generally in excess of an approximate temperature threshold of 30=9A C). Thermal anomalies of 1=9A C or more above the maximu= m warm water seasonal averages are significantly correlated with the rapid onset and duration of mass coral reef bleaching episodes. As elevated sea surface temperatures gradually fall, reefs may either recover gradually or succumb entirely to the stress. If bleaching persists, there is no net reef building and the reef frame gradually erodes, which can result in habitat destruction and mortality. Satellite data confirm that elevated sea surface temperatures have been associated with widespread coral reef bleaching in the western Caribbean and in the Gulf of Mexico. An analysis of the satellite-derived sea surface temperatures show that the summer of 1995 was the warmest since 1984 (when reliable records were first obtained) for Belizian Reefs and for the entire Caribbean Basin. Belize represents the Western Hemisphere's longest and most pristine barrier reef, and massive coral reef bleaching broke out for the first time in Belize in September, 1995. Prolonged coral reef bleaching can alter the relative abundance of reef organisms and, in so doing, alter the biodiversity of the reef communities. The physical reef structures can also suffer gradual physical losses and/or be covered by algae, thus leading to light and oxygen starvation, and changes in pH in the surrounding water column. As reef ecosystems change in composition, a new community equilibrium may appear, while some medically important members of former reef communities may disappear. Loss of physical reef habitat for young fish may also lead to a reduction in reef fish and, in turn, a decline in economically important open ocean fish stocks. Biography of Dr. Raymond L. Hayes Dr. Raymond L. Hayes is currently Assistant Dean for Medical Education, and Professor of Anatomy, at Howard University in Washington, DC. Dr. Hayes formerly served as Chair in the Department of Anatomy at Howard University and at the University of Pittsburgh.

His research interests include the biology of coral reefs and reef ecosystems, reef ecosystems and climate change, and human health and climate change. Dr. Hayes has served as a member of the National Advisory Council of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and as Acting Director of the MacLean Marine Science Center at the University of the Virgin Islands in St. Thomas, and currently serves as a Corporation Member of the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA. He also serves as Vice President and Executive Board Member of the Association of Marine Laboratories of the Caribbean, and as a member of the Board of Directors for the Marine Archeological and Historical Society in Washington, DC. In 1994 Dr. Hayes received the Distinguished Service Award from Howard University. He received his BS degree from Amherst College, MA, and his MS and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Biography of Dr. Alan E. Strong Dr. Alan E. Strong has been Research Physical Scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) since 1991. Prior to that he served at NESDIS's Office of Research and Applications Oceanic Sciences Branch, using satellite data to address oceanographic problems. In 1986 Dr. Strong was assigned to serve as Chair of Remote Sensing in the Oceanography Department of the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. In 1991 Dr. Strong was also appointed Project Manager of NOAA's Cooperative Project in Oceanic Remote Sensing (CPORS) with the US Naval Academy. His research interests include: satellite monitoring of sea surface temperature, wind speed, and ocean color; monitoring volcanic aerosols; using satellite data to investigate coral bleaching and sea surface temperature changes; monitoring sea surface temperature trends; using satellite data to study global change and El Nino phenomena; and the application of satellite data to study other important environmental issues. For the past three years he has also been involved in teaching global climate change at the US Naval Academy. Dr. Strong received his BA degree in mathematics at Kalamazoo College, MI, and his MS and Ph.D. degrees in Oceanography at the University of Michigan.

I am a graduate student in geography at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I have a great interest in the preservation of coral ecosystems, and am currently working on a project involving the identification of endangered reefs. The model I propose will deal with the detection of terrestrial pollution such as effluent and/or toxic discharge. Belsher, et al (1992) have suggested the use of the satellite monitoring of Benthic algae as an indicator of possible or existing pollution. In their study Belsher, et al make use of SPOT satellite images taken of the lagoon of Moorea island in French Polynesia. Computer assisted interpretation of these images allowed for the creation of a map of the Benthic organisms in this area. I would like my model to demonstrate that an introduction of pollution or an increase in pollution to coral intolerant levels will cause the death of coral populations and a notable increase in levels of Benthic Algae. One of my problems is a lack of data. Winnipeg, if you don't already know, is a city that is nearly in the center of the continent - making data on coral reefs slightly difficult to come by. I am hoping that you would be able to provide me with some data, or suggestions as to where I might find some. I would also appreciate any and all suggestions you may have regarding the topic. I would be more than happy to provide you with a copy of my work if you were able to help me or were interested. Thank you in advance.

The report is based on an investigation which took the authors to nine countries in the region and involved interviews with several hundred individuals, including fishermen, divers, dive tour operators, social and biological researchers, members of national and international NGOs, live reef food fish exporters and importers, government officials, aquaculture experts, fish farmers and village leaders.

To stun and capture reef fish for this market, hundreds of tons of sodium cyanide are being pumped annually into the coral reefs of Southeast Asia, degrading the most species-rich marine communities in the world. In addition, intensive hook and line fishing to supply this market has completely eliminated some grouper spawning aggregations in the region. The Philippines and Indonesia are being rapidly depleted of target species. In consequence, and because of escalating demand for live reef fish in China, these fishing practices are spreading into the Western Pacific Islands to the east and the Indian Ocean to the west. Fishing companies involved in the trade are especially optimistic about prospects in Papua New Guinea. The trade is destructive not only to the marine environment, but also to the economies and the social fabric of coastal fishing communities in the region. It is also resulting in the death or paralysis of many untrained divers, due to the bends. Despite the appalling destruction being caused by this industry, it could be put on an environmentally and economically sustainable basis. We propose a series of actions to bring this about.

Apart from my studies at the=20 University Iam now eager to gain more field experience in marine biology=20 and I would like to continue with a dissertation (PHd) later on. If you=20 have vacancies for a volunteer or projects to collaborate for some time=20 please contact me. Iam looking forward to hear from you. Al ser posible me intersaria mucho asistir o colaborar en un proyecto de=20 biologia marina (zoologia) del campo para obtener mas experiencia y=20 practica.

The old lab building (Section Gang Quarters) has been completed and is available as a teaching and meeting facility. Several other buildings, including the dormitory, have recently received funding and work will commence shortly. Mote Marine Laboratory has established the Pigeon Key Marine Research Center (PKMRC) on the island to support research and college/graduate education. A wet lab with seawater system will be operational within a few weeks and boats will be available. The PKMRC also has a historic structure, the Bridge Foreman's House (the old "dock" house) that will serve as a dry lab. Although it now contains an office and some very basic bench space, it is in need of complete renovation. The plans call for a National Register quality restoration (Pigeon Key is a National Historic District) but with modern laboratories within. An NSF Facilities Grantis being submitted to request funding to assist with the renovations. I am seeking expressions of interest from researchers who would consider using the PKMRC, particularly those that would need dry lab space. Please plan to stop by if any of you are in the Keys and see all that has been done (and needs to be done!).
