It seems like it was quite a bit of work to put together. I am sure Reef Check can work and I am lloking forward to participating. I would like to offer some comments about the procedures and hope to hear your opinions about it. FIRSTLY, I fully agree with Rick Craig and Bill Alevizon that sites should not be chosen as "to be considered to be the best available". For the same reasons Rick and Bill have noted. SECONDLY: LOGISITCS *I would like to point out, that the choice of sites will be biased in some way or another depending on the facilities you will be using. The IYOR-Germany committee is trying to get a good group together for the Red Sea, mainly Egypt. We would be "operating" out of diving schools and centers and using the help of tourists. It might be difficult to actually "choose" the site as we would be subject to dive-operator sites. * Generally tourists prefer diving at "good sites". One could surely also find very dedicated tourists/naturalists who would be ready to also visit what are considered "bad dive sites". * The typical tourist likes to visit each site once and then look for something new (no comment on that attitude). I am sure we can convince the diving schools and the tourists to spend an entire day, i.e. 2 dives and snorkeling at a given site. ***So, in fact while there are solutions to the difficulties using diving centers, we will always be compromising in some way as to the choice of the sites and the amount of time we can spend there. QUESTION positioning of transects I am not quite sure I got the idea: Do you simply mean two transects at 3m, 4m, 10m, and 11m? Arranged as a staircase rather than directly below each other? FOURTH: BILL ALEVIZON SAID: >>>depth positioning should be secondary to coral zonation/habitat-type >>>considerations.<<< *I agree that ecologically the zonation/habitat-types are more important considerations than water depth. In a project as large as Reef Check with so many different people doing the surveys, I believe it is important to use a "measurable" parameter such as water depth. A possibility would be that everybody uses the same depths in the core protocoll. In addition site specific zones can also be assessed. *I do agree with Bill in that >>first priority is that the transects need to be positioned so as to not cross habitat boundaries<<< FOURTH: Fish "transects" *Also agree with Bill, that timed counts are more appropriate to count fish than using the 20m transect belts. These are just thoughts, and I hope to hear the ideas of people with more experience than myself on the subject.

I am a Canadian diver who has snorkelled/dived the same reef off West Maui each summer now since 1977. Back then it WAS a "good site". Over the years through a remarkable blend of carelessness and ignorance, "progress" has turned it into a "bad dive sit e". My husband and I still dive there. What has disgusted us over the years is the lack of voice on the part of the dive industry whose attitude appears to be, if a dive site turns bad, find another. This is exactly what we were told when our dive site got trashed. "Go to South Maui. It's cleaner and the condos are cheaper too." This advice came from a highly regarded dive master. I have heard the same comment from tourist/divers about former good dive sites now degraded and in decline. They simply go somewhere else. What baffles me is neither the dive industry or divers themselves appear to understand that if you keep running (swimming?) away, sooner or later, you WILL run out of good dive sites. That message needs to be sent out. Moshira Hassan wrote: >* The typical tourist likes to visit each site once and then look for >something new (no comment on that attitude). OK, so I will. My husband and I have dived the same location in Maui just over 700 times now. You can imagine how well you can know an area and how well the inhabitants can get to know you. Winter '94 we visited Grand Cayman and did some boat dives. The dive master would offer suggestions for dive sites and the divers would say, "No, been there three days ago". HOW visiting a place just once planted an idea that they'd actually seen it or had nothing more to experience from the place left us with a mixture of bafflement and contempt. So there's my comment on THAT attitude. Moshira Hassan wrote: >I am sure we can convince the diving schools and the tourists to spend an entire day, i.e. >2 dives and snorkeling at a given site. For many tourists, once they've done the two dives (time usually dictated by the one who hoovers the air faster than anyone else) they are eager to return to the harbour and land so they can go on with the rest of their vacation. The same people who feel they don't need to ever revisit a site after they've dived it once, find sitting on a boat rather boring because after seeing the blue ocean, scanning the horizon, sighting the occasional flying fish --dolphins too perhaps, they c rave something new. There is no remote control on a dive boat and so they can't fast forward or switch channels to relieve the Been There, Done That syndrome. As you might guess, my husband and I are now exclusively shore divers and only dive at OUR site.. a bad dive site. We find the ocean inhabitants have considerably longer attention spans than the average tourist/diver and they don't blow air as fast eithe r. Still I do wish all of you success in this reef monitoring thrust. What you are all attempting here is of vital importance. Forgive the general miffed tone of my message. I just received word via the Net that our dive site has experienced powerful rains and the concrete channel just to the south has once again spewed thousands of gallons of red soil from pineapple fields dire ctly into the ocean and our dive site. The red extends along much of the coast and out to the "boat lanes". That is 60 feet of water and exactly where a group of turtles suffering from a debilitating disease called fibropapillomas live out their lives. We have dived through two previous "Red Rains" and so we know exactly what they are experiencing right now. I am left with a helpless rage and a question. How can we treat our oceans so shamefully? ^ Ursula Keuper-Bennett 0 0 Email: howzit@io.org /V^\ I I /^V\ /V Turtle Trax V\ http://www.turtles.org PLEASE SUPPORT Green Turtle Fibropapilloma RESEARCH From hendee@aoml.noaa.gov Fri Jan 7 11:59:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: from hugo.aoml.noaa.gov (firewall-user@[172.16.123.247]) by aoml.noaa.gov (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id LAA19401 for ; Tue, 7 Jan 1997 11:59:52 -0500 (EST) Received: by hugo.aoml.noaa.gov; id AA01682; Tue, 7 Jan 97 12:00:41 EST Received: from coral.aoml.noaa.gov(192.111.123.248) by hugo.aoml.noaa.gov via smap (3.2) id xma001678; Tue, 7 Jan 97 12:00:22 -0500 Received: from localhost by coral.aoml.noaa.gov via SMTP (950413.SGI.8.6.12/930416.SGI) for id MAA06391; Tue, 7 Jan 1997 12:07:22 -0500 Date: Tue, 7 Jan 1997 12:07:22 -0500 (EST) From: "James C.

The United States government agencies and more than 50 other organizations from around the globe have sanctioned the 1997 IYOR to raise awareness of the value of coral reefs and the challenges they face. The IYOR is an effort to promote and pursue the goals of the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI), a partnership of nations and organizations to protect and sustainably use fragile coral reef resources world-wide. Why should we care about coral reefs? Coral reefs are important to our future. Reefs are: home and nursery for almost a million fish and other species, many that we rely on for food; some of the earth's most diverse living ecosystems; full of new and undiscovered biomedical resources that we've only just begun to explore; important protection for coastal communities from storms, wave damage and erosion. Coral reefs also attract hundreds of thousands of divers, snorkelers and other tourists to tropical coasts every year. This recreation and travel supports a significant tourism industry dependent on clean waters and healthy coral reefs. In the United States, the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the primary federal agency responsible for the stewardship of marine resources including coral reefs. NOAA's activities include monitoring the health of domestic coral reefs, restoring damaged or destroyed sections of coral reefs, and working with states and other partners to maintain the health of coral reefs through management, research and education. Where can you get more information? NOAA is working in partnership with other organizations to provide you with a list of experts and topics of interest. Throughout 1997, NOAA will provide you with new information every week on a wide variety of issues related to coral reefs, and direct access to experts in many fields. Each of the 52-weekly coral stories includes ideas and experts, with issues ranging from threats to reefs (e.g., dynamite fishing in the tropical), to solutions (e.g., protected area management) and reef restoration projects (e.g., coral transplanting techniques). Although NOAA is the coordinating entity for this effort, the list of story ideas and experts includes individuals from a variety of universities, agencies and organizations such as the American Association for Zoos and Aquariums and the IUCN (World Conservation Union). The sheets enclosed with this letter show how to access the 52 stories or find out more about NOAA's 1997 activities on coral reefs. If you have any questions or suggestions please contact Matt Stout in my office (phone: 202-482-6090; fax 202-482-3154) or visit NOAA's coral reef home page at: http://www.noaa.gov/public-affairs/coral-reef/ What can be done? The stakes are high: two-thirds of the earth's coral reefs are dying. It is estimated that 10-percent of the earth's coral reefs have already been degraded beyond recovery. A much larger percentage is now threatened. Human activities are among the major cause of reef decline. Increasing public awareness about the value and plight of coral reefs can make a difference. I hope you will consider using these story ideas as valuable resources to explore the importance of our coral reefs, the challenges facing them, and some of the techniques being used to find solutions. Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to working with you on this important topic. Sincerely, Lori A. Arguelles Director NOAA Office of Public Affairs ------------------------- REPORTER'S TIP SHEET Week 1 1977 International Year of the Reef What is the International Year of the Reef?

Scientists and conservation groups, concerned about the state of the world's reefs, urged governments, scientists, environmental organizations and the private sector around the world to join together in addressing the following challenges: - execute a major program of public education about coral reefs; - scientifically assess the conditions of coral reefs worldwide; and - collaborate with governments, local communities and other reef managers to develop and implement plans for the sustainable use of irreplaceable reef resources. The public campaign of IYOR is an important element of the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI), launched by governments in 1995 through a Call to Action and Framework for Action. Through IYOR, ICRI is creating and strengthening public-private partnerships to address the global degradation of coral reef ecosystems.

Special studies are requested on the following priority topics: 1. Effects of wastewater pollutants on Sanctuary resources 2. Effects of Florida Bay discharge on Sanctuary resources 3. Effects of mosquito control measures on non-targeted organisms 4. Public health concerns in canals or other confined waters in the Florida Keys 5. Diseases of corals. BACKGROUND The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary was created by Public Law 101-605, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Protection Act of 1990. Included in the Sanctuary are 2800 square nautical miles of nearshore waters extending from Biscayne Bay to the Dry Tortugas. The 1990 Act directed EPA and the State of Florida, in consultation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), to develop a Water Quality Protection Program (WQPP) for the Sanctuary. This is the first designated marine sanctuary required to have a WQPP. The purpose of the WQPP is to recommend priority corrective actions and compliance schedules addressing point and nonpoint sources of pollution to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Sanctuary. This includes restoration and maintenance of a balanced, indigenous population of corals, shellfish, fish and wildlife, and recreational activities in and on the water. In addition, the Act requires the development of a comprehensive water quality monitoring program. This announcement concerns the Research/Special Studies Component of the WQPP. Since 1991, EPA and the State of Florida have worked with NOAA and other federal, state, and local governmental agencies, university scientists, environmental groups, and the public to develop a WQPP for the Sanctuary. The National Marine Sanctuaries Program Amendments Act of 1992 requires EPA and the State to implement the WQPP in cooperation with NOAA. A "Water Quality Protection Program Document" was recently approved by the WQPP Steering Committee and contains the rationale and strategies to achieve the goals of the WQPP. -2- EPA and the State have developed an "Implementation Plan for Monitoring and Special Studies" associated with the WQPP. The Implementation Plan prioritizes monitoring and special studies programs based upon available funding and existing management priorities. The Implementation Plan also includes a general description of steps to be taken in implementing the monitoring and special studies programs. The monitoring program involves systematic, long-term data collection and analysis to assess the status of water quality and biological resources (corals and seagrass communities) and to detect changes over time. The Special Studies Program includes short- and long-term data collection, to understand causal linkages between pollution sources and ecological problems. This understanding will be used to develop predictive models, devise corrective actions, and improve the monitoring program. The overall objective of the Special Studies Program is to identify and understand cause and effect relationships among pollutants, and their transport pathways, and the biological communities of the Sanctuary. Specific objectives are to: 1) identify and document cause and effect linkages between specific pollutants, water quality problems, and ecological impacts; 2) improve understanding of Sanctuary ecosystems, and develop predictive capabilities based on that understanding; and, 3) develop monitoring and research tools to detect pollutants, provide early warning of widespread ecological problems, and identify cause and effect relationships. PRIORITY TOPICS FOR SPECIAL STUDIES Effects of wastewater pollutants and Florida Bay influence on Sanctuary resources are the two priority topics addressed in the Implementation Plan. Three additional priority topics were recently identified by the WQPP Technical Advisory Committee, including effects of mosquito control measures on non-targeted organisms, public health concerns associated with canal systems or other confined waterbodies, and coral diseases. Wastewater Pollutants Despite the magnitude of wastewater pollutant loadings, insufficient data exist to definitively establish cause and effect relationships between onsite disposal systems, package plant injection wells, or cesspits and ecological problems in the Sanctuary. Existing observations and studies, together with the magnitude and extent of estimated pollutant loadings from wastewater sources are a strong indication that wastewater pollutants are reaching nearshore waters and affecting biological resources. However, given the potential cost of the wastewater options under consideration, additional data are needed to document ecological impacts that can be specifically linked to these pollutants. Also, alternative, cost effective nutrient removal methods need to be devised and/or tested. Special studies are needed to: 1) establish pollutant loading thresholds above which biotic communities are adversely impacted; 2) detect the presence of wastewater pollutants from onsite -3- disposal systems, cesspits, package plant bore holes, and/or surface water discharges and determine relative contributions of each to Sanctuary surface waters, groundwaters, and/or sediments; 3) document the transport of pollutants and describe the severity and extent of ecological impacts that can be specifically linked to these pollutants; and, 4) test the efficiency and cost effectiveness of alternative onsite treatment and disposal options. Florida Bay Significant water quality and other ecological problems have developed in Florida Bay in recent years. Problems include massive seagrass die-off, phytoplankton blooms, sponge die-offs, mangrove die-backs, and population reductions in economically significant species. Even under "normal" conditions, transport of Florida Bay waters of variable temperature, salinity, and turbidity can result in significant impacts to the water quality and biological resources of the Sanctuary. In addition, western Florida shelf waters are another source of water quality concerns which could impact Sanctuary resources. Special studies are needed to: 1) estimate long-term net transport and episodic transport from Florida Bay and the western Florida shelf to the Sanctuary, movement of water within the Sanctuary, and exchange mechanisms at the shelf edge for water moving out to the reef tract; and 2) evaluate whether Florida Bay and western Florida shelf waters flowing into the Sanctuary are influencing Sanctuary communities, including seagrasses, coral reefs, nearshore hard bottom communities, and other biota. Mosquito Control Ground and aerial spraying of pesticides are used by Monroe County Mosquito Control District (MCD) to control adult and larval mosquito populations. Although the MCD attempts to avoid aquatic areas during aerial and ground spraying, the potential exists for pesticides to reach marine waters. The MCD has recently begun using ultra-low volume (ULV) spraying. While ULV may reduce the amount of pesticide applied, there may be greater potential for drift of the fine droplets to non-targeted areas. There are currently no data on the effects of the mosquito control program on living resources of the FKNMS. Special studies are needed to: 1) assess environmental concentrations and effects of pesticides on Sanctuary resources; 2) assess alternative mosquito control methods, such as ditching, larvicides, and biological controls; and, 3) evaluate the ecological impacts of the use of pesticides and herbicides in the Florida Keys. Public Health Concerns in Canals A major source of nutrients to nearshore and confined waters of the Florida Keys is poorly treated domestic wastewater. There are approximately 17,000 septic tanks, 12,000 cesspits, 700 shallow injection wells, and 139 marinas harboring more than 15,000 boats. Nutrients from these various sources can enter the more than 700 canals and other confined water bodies present in the Keys. Several studies have demonstrated the rapid transport of sewage effluent from onsite disposal systems to adjacent canals. Elevated fecal coliform bacteria have been -4- found in canals, anchorages, and in groundwaters. To date there has been no comprehensive study to determine the public health risks of confined waters of the Florida Keys. Special studies are needed to: 1) investigate and compile existing data on public health risks associated with canals or other confined waters in the Florida Keys; 2) determine adequacy of existing data on public health risks and if data are not adequate, survey waters and sediments of canals, marina basins, and other nearshore waters to assess the presence of disease causing microbes or other organisms associated with wastewater pollution; 3) assess the risk to the public of disease organisms in nearshore waters; and, 4) if found, assess methods of reducing spread of infectious diseases. Coral Diseases Reports of diseases on corals throughout the world have significantly increased in recent years. Several new diseases on hard and soft corals have been recently discovered in the Florida Keys environs. The etiologies of coral diseases in general, and the newly discovered diseases in particular, are largely unknown. Also, the role of environmental factors, such as degraded water quality, in the onset and development of the diseases is not understood. Special studies are needed to 1) quantify the distribution and abundance of coral diseases in Sanctuary waters; 2) identify the causal agents of coral diseases and mechanisms for spread; 3) assess environmental conditions which may result in onset of diseases; and, 4) identify and evaluate methods of prevention and treatment of coral diseases. REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS EPA has secured approximately $500,000 to fund the special studies discussed above. Accepted proposals will be eligible to receive funds from EPA via a grant, cooperative agreement, or interagency agreement (federal agencies). Proposals may be written for one or two years. Individual grants/cooperative agreements/interagency agreements should not exceed a total of $100,000 for the length of the project.

INTRODUCTION My name is John Ogden and I am Director of the Florida Institute of Oceanography (FIO) and Professor of Biology at the University of South Florida. The FIO is a Type I institute of the State University System representing the marine scientists of the 9 state universities, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the Florida Sea Grant Program, and the University of Miami. We operate two oceanographic ships, the R/V Bellows (71 ft.) and the R/V Suncoaster (102 ft.) and the Keys Marine Laboratory in partnership with DEP. The FIO is also a focal point for the development and funding of multi-disciplinary projects of importance to Florida and the Caribbean region in coastal oceanographic research and education. After Congress created the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) in 1990, I was appointed by the Secretary of Commerce to serve on the Sanctuary Advisory Council to provide scientific input into the 6 year effort to develop the Management Plan which is before you today. During this period research projects developed and funded by the FIO and carried out by marine scientists from Florida's universities and agencies raised the issues of coral reef decline, degrading water quality, and the connection between the health of Florida Bay and the health of the contiguous waters of the Sanctuary. THREE KEY POINTS I would like to make three points. First, I want to discuss the importance and uniqueness of the process that created the Sanctuary. In my opinion it is an example of participatory democracy at its best. The Management Plan in front of you is exemplary of a local, state and federal partnership for the sustainable use of marine resources. Second, I want to highlight two key Action Plans, Water Quality and Zoning, of the ten contained in the overall Plan, which are controversial, expensive, and politically sensitive precisely because they are likely to be effective. Finally, I want to emphasize that this Plan provides unique opportunities for the natural and social scientists of Florida's academic institutions and government agencies to create a powerhouse of knowledge and experience in coastal management in Florida which will lead the nation. I. THE SANCTUARY PLANNING PROCESS WAS A GRASSROOTS EFFORT In 1991, a marine resource management planning process of unprecedented size and complexity was implemented in the FKNMS by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), centering on the Sanctuary Advisory Council (SAC), a broadly representative group of local stakeholders. The SAC was supported by an interagency group of Federal, State, and local agencies and directed by a NOAA team from the Sanctuaries and Reserves Division. From 1991-1993, the SAC held many meetings in the Keys working through a management plan development process devoted to identification of problem areas and of short- and long-term management actions, including their operational requirements. Public input was sought at every step and there were hundreds of people who gave detailed testimony. In late 1993, the SAC adopted a draft management plan which was published by NOAA in March 1995. The draft was reviewed in an exhaustive series of public hearings, workshops, local TV broadcasts, and small group meetings over the next 9 months. In December 1995, the SAC, using input from public hearings, made its final recommendations to NOAA and the present Plan was published late last summer. This was a grassroots effort. The SAC, composed of local business people, fishers, divers, treasure salvors, and environmentalists was extraordinarily influential in the process. By outreach of the SAC members to their constituencies there isn't anyone in the community who can truthfully say that he or she had no opportunity to be heard. There were literally hundreds of venues that were created over the 6 year process. In fact, one could argue that for a national resource, the citizens of Monroe County had almost too much influence. However, I hope that they can take justifiable pride in their accomplishment. II. TWO KEY ACTION PLANS: WATER QUALITY AND ZONING The Plan recognizes that human alteration of the land is a major cause of declining water quality. Poor land-use destroys the buffering of coastal forests and vegetation leaving nearshore waters unprotected from land runoff, changing formerly "gin clear" coastal waters to those clouded by plankton blooms and sediments which can kill organisms such as corals which require clear, clean waters to thrive. The dependency on on-site sewage disposal systems and even open cesspits for the exponentially growing number of homes, condominiums, and hotels elevated nutrients in nearshore waters and stimulated smothering and toxic algal blooms. Water quality in the Sanctuary is also dependent upon Florida Bay which, in turn, is linked to the Everglades, Lake Okeechobee, and the drainage system of the Kissimmee River. These interdependencies were the impetus for the Secretary of the Interior to create the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force. By emphasizing these linkages, the Task Force has drawn the region into national prominence as the place where the holistic approach of ecosystem management will be first attempted at a regional scale. For hundreds of years we have used zoning to avoid land-use conflicts. The ocean, by contrast is a "commons," available freely to all but the responsibility of none. Following on the success of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in Australia, the largest in the world, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Management Plan uses zoning to separate potentially conflicting uses. Of the several types of zones in the Plan, the Ecological Reserves proved to be the most controversial for their size and for the economic and social impact of no permitted harvesting. In the final stages of public discussion of the Plan, politically organized recreational and commercial fishers removed two of three Ecological Reserves from the Plan in 1995 leaving only one small reserve in the Western Sambos near Key West. This remaining reserve is critically important to the large number of people who expect to have undisturbed areas to visit in a region disturbed by many uses. A large grouper in this reserve will be more valuable being seen by snorkelers than it would be on a fishing line. The reserve will be a natural laboratory for Florida's natural and social scientists. It will be the only effective tool we have to gather baseline data from undisturbed, unharvested areas so the impact of harvest and disturbance in the rest of the Sanctuary can be assessed. Scientists predict that the reserve will build up within 3-5 years populations of larger size classes of fishery species, increasing both the reproductive output of larvae and their genetic diversity. But most importantly, the reserve is an experiment to see if a small, strategically-placed, undisturbed area can provide "replenishment" to the fished and disturbed resources outside its boundaries. There is a consensus of fishers, managers and scientists that ecological reserves work in this way, and there are examples of early successes from other countries including New Zealand, Australia, Kenya, and several Caribbean nations. III. AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FLORIDA Florida has one of the longest, most complex, and most highly populated coastlines in the country. Florida's agencies and academic institutions face daily confrontation with virtually every issue of public interaction with the marine environment. These often demand complicated, expensive, and/or politically sensitive solutions. Over the past five years of development of the Sanctuary Management Plan and the emergence of the Everglades restoration as a national commitment, Floridians have begun to develop a sense of the vulnerability of the coastal ocean and of their role as stewards of a national resource. However, no resources management plan of this scale has ever been attempted and there are powerful forces arrayed against the concept of limiting growth and regulating human behavior for sustainable use of the environment. Florida must demonstrate the political will to take the opportunity for leadership afforded by the Sanctuary Management Plan. Until this happens, our leadership will be in question and the fate of the "American Tropics" will remain in doubt. John C.

MIDDLE EAST/ GULFS Alec Dawson Shepherd, Hunting Aquatic Resources, UK - Red Sea The first announcement is being re-issued as there are some gaps in the Pilot project - are there any more institutions or individuals wanting to sign up? The publication of the new Manual has been delayed - so I recommend that people use the Survey Manual for Tropical Marine Resources (Eds. English, Wilkinson and Baker, published by AIMS in 1994). If you do not have a copy, please advise. I am preparing suggested monitoring protocols and data sheets for distribution. These will be sent out when the list is finalised - the monitoring schedule will now slip to January to August, but we will still try to release data to coincide with the IYOR meetings planned for June and July. Original Message: Pilot Monitoring Programme of the IOC-UNEP-IUCN Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network: we are launching a one-off pilot programme to monitor reefs around the world. We invite you to participate. This call is to marine research groups, senior researchers and others who have experience in monitoring coral reefs, particularly in several different coral reef regions. Our goals are to: establish a cooperative network; demonstrate to governments, donors and the science community that a network can function; and assist developing countries get started in reef monitoring. We shall ask you to monitor at least one site in your country and a parallel one with developing country scientists between January 1997 and August 1997; then pool the data so that we can report a snapshot view of reef status as part of the International Year of the Reef in June 1997. Methods and protocols will either be provided by electronic mail or are in the Manual (see below) now being revised for a 2nd printing. It is probable that sites monitored this time will constitute the basis for a global system of regular long-term monitoring. HISTORY The concept of global coral reef monitoring has been discussed for many years. It culminated in June 1992 in Guam, at the 7th International Coral Reef Symposium when many reef scientists and managers reported their willingness to participate in a 'snapshot' global reef monitoring programme. But there was no money to get it started. METHODS Methods from the Survey Manual for Tropical Marine Resources (Eds. English, Wilkinson and Baker, published by AIMS) from the ASEAN-Australia Living Coastal Resources Project will form the basis for monitoring. These were chosen as the 'standards' by the UNEP-IOC-WMO-IUCN Meeting of Experts on a Long-Term Global Monitoring System of Coastal and Near-Shore Phenomena Related to Climate Change, Pilot Projects on Mangroves and Coral Reefs, December 1991, and confirmed by the UNEP-IOC-IUCN-ASPEI Global Task Team on the Implications of Climate Change on Coral Reefs in 1992. However, during this Pilot project, any comparable methods will be acceptable. These biophysical monitoring methods include: manta tow (or equivalent for a broad perspective); line intercept transect with identification at a minimum of 'lifeform' level (or equivalent transect method to gather % cover data); and fish censusing, with emphasis on fisher target species and indicator fish, like butterfly (chaetodont) fish. Reporting should also include specific events and activities e.g. bleaching, predators, dynamite damage, urchin populations etc. Data on these are being accumulated by several groups, coordinated by Bob Ginsburg in Miami, Gregor Hodgson in Hong Kong, and John McManus of ReefBase in Manila. A comparable set of socioeconomic parameters are being assembled. THE GCRMN The GCRMN was re-catalysed by the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) to provide Research and Monitoring information on coral reefs and related ecosystems for more efficient management and long-term conservation. The GCRMN has 3 co-sponsors (IOC, UNEP and IUCN), two hosts (AIMS and ICLARM) and interacts closely with the ICRI Secretariat. The overall objectives of the GCRMN are to: improve the conservation, management and sustainable uses of coral reefs and related ecosystems for peoples of the tropics and the world through assessing the trends in biophysical status and social, cultural and economic values of these ecosystems; provide many people with the capacity to assess their resources and integrate these people into a global network to document and disseminate data on reef status and trends. The GCRMN is based on the following principles: emphasise the involvement of local communities; put equal emphasis on biophysical and social, cultural and economic data; function through existing organisations, networks, and monitoring programmes, not create new bodies; offer a standard methodology, but be responsive to wishes of participants; often focus monitoring in current or planned Marine Protected Areas and adjacent unprotected areas; ensure that data are accessible to all in an understandable format.

The area surveyed and found to be affected ranged from 1 to some 13 hours steam out of Abu Dhabi up the Gulf (towards Qatar). In particular, Arzanha and Zirku islands - with their very shallow (2-3m fringing reefs) - were badly affected. Arzanha: (1) an extensive fringing _Porites lutea_ reef appears to be totally destroyed, and is now completely settled over by sessiles and algal turfs. Incidentally, we could find not a single urchin - Echinometra mathaii - alive. Lots of dead tests and spine material, but not a single live one. (2) an _Acropora clathrata_ dominated reef in approx. 5-8m of water was wiped out. All _Acropora_ skeletons are now settled and covered over with sessiles and turfs. Lots of urchins at this site however (just round the corner from the above mentioned site). Bleached species found were the massives _Platygyra_ and _Favia_ / _Favites_ sp. Zirku: (1) an ex _Acropora_ dominated reef (previously destroyed by dredging and harbour building activity) had lots of new settlement of small (young) massives on the _Acropora_ rubble, that were now showing evidence of bleaching, again: _Platygyra_ and _Favia_ / _Favites_ sp. Dives in deeper water (approx 13-15m) between the islands also yielded evidence of bleaching and coral mortality, but this time in addition to those species previously mentioned, now also for the vase coral _Turbinaria mesenteria_. Some totally white specimens were observed, while others showed only partial bleaching effects. In addition, I also have evidence from another team of researchers/divers working further south (off Jebel Ali, near Dubai), that a similar mortality/bleaching event has been recorded there. The reefs there are largely _Acropora clathrata_ dominated, but also contain many massive species. I have no temperature data, but I am trying to get the data from an Abu Dhabi based marine survey company. I have however been in contact researchers in Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia, who can be contacted for more info on the temperatures of the Gulf waters at the time: Dr. Roger Uwate Advisor Directorate of Fisheries P.O.

The aims of this project are to provide a lab aid and review tool for the students while at the same time to help reduce the number of animals used for 2nd year level dissections. This lab aid is made up of various modules one of which is echinoderm biodiversity. We would be very appreciative if any of you is willing to donate your pictures for this project. This project will eventually be recorded onto CD's for use by schools and universities. We plan to provide this material at cost to universities and schools in Australasia and potentially internationally. The recouped costs will be used to pursue further projects in this area. Naturally, copyright of pictures will remain the property of the photographer and each photographer will be acknowledged with the copyright on each picture presented with the CD. We are, however, trying to find out how to best recognize and provide some benefits to the many people who have provided resources to the project. Please inform us whether you would be happy with the following arrangement. People supplying 1-10 pictures which are used in the final project will receive: A free CD from echinoderm project People supplying greater than 10 pictures which are used in the final project will receive: A free CD from echinoderm project and of all future projects associated with the CAUT initiated group in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Sydney. Our hope is to eventually sell these CD's to recoup costs to allow further development of this important educational tool. If you have any slides that you are interested in contributing please email Guillermo Moreno at moreno@bio.usyd.edu.au. We thank you in advance for any assistance on this matter.

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 using Glover's Reef as a research site to contact James Powell at jpowell@btl.net 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 housing for eight scientists and/or students. There are aquariums, boats, air compressor and SCUBA tanks for researcher support. Aquarium facilities are available. 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 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 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.

If Jim's computer receives a message without a subject sent to it looks if it recognizes the first word on each line as a command and does what the sender asked. As you're dealing with a computer, be precise (unsubscribe, not unsuscribe). Likewise your address in your signature is a "command" this computer can't handle. The difference is the address: use MA-JOR-DO-MO for commands like unsubscribe!!! Sending COMMANDS meant for the listserver to all people subscribed to the coral-list does NOT work.

Hi all, Seems like there are a lot of people who niticed the virus, but none who are prepared to offer salvation.... Attached is a 72k .EXE file called MVTOOL20.ZIP (Macro Virus Tool version 2.00) dated November 1995. Seems a little old, but I did an ARCHIE search and didn't come up with a newer one.....if you have a version 3, let me know. It is a self-extracting archive file that, when run, will spew out SCANPROT.DOT and README.DOC. Read the README.DOC, but essentially the protection comes in the .DOT file - it has "good" macros that kill the "bad" ones.... You load the .DOT and it builds in the protection macros into WORD and then offers to check all your documents. Easy. It told me that the document I was trying to load contained macros that were potentialy dangerous and guided me to saving the document without them....Pretty neat. BTW - I am currently using WinWORD version 6.0 on WINDOWS NT 3.51.

My senior thesis is on exactly that subject: the effects of human touch on corals. "What happens to coral when you touch it," is a common question asked by countless reef visitors, and is often answered by an all-too-often-assumed answer. There have be en countless studies on coral damage from pollution, anchor damage, trampling, sedimentation, and even experimentally inflicted breakage. But as far as any studies on what exactly happens to a coral specimen when you touch it, I have yet to find one. In my current research, some interesting results have been found. I studied the most common coral genus in Hawaii, Porites, and found that resistance to human touch varies between species. With treated specimens of Porites compressa, visible scarring o ccurred and is still evident after three months. Porites lobata, on the other hand, "recovered" visibly after just a few weeks. One important investigation that I am studying now concerns the effects of multiple treatments (long-term repeated touching) on Porites spp. corals. If you would like to find out more about this study, visit my web page where I will have preliminary results and slides posted by February 1, 1997, at: http://aloha.net/~backman/thesis.html Kent Backman Marine Science Department University of Hawaii at Hilo backman@hawaii.edu http://aloha.net/~backman From hendee@aoml.noaa.gov Thu Jan 27 18:51:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: from hugo.aoml.noaa.gov (firewall-user@hugo [172.16.123.247]) by aoml.noaa.gov (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id SAA10827; Mon, 27 Jan 1997 18:51:42 -0500 (EST) Received: by hugo.aoml.noaa.gov; id AA09619; Mon, 27 Jan 97 18:52:35 EST Received: from coral.aoml.noaa.gov(192.111.123.248) by hugo.aoml.noaa.gov via smap (3.2) id xma009617; Mon, 27 Jan 97 18:52:07 -0500 Received: by coral.aoml.noaa.gov (950413.SGI.8.6.12/930416.SGI) for coral-list-outgoing id XAA07289; Mon, 27 Jan 1997 23:28:19 GMT Received: from dof.moa.my by coral.aoml.noaa.gov via SMTP (950413.SGI.8.6.12/930416.SGI) for id SAA07284; Mon, 27 Jan 1997 18:28:14 -0500 Message-Id: <199701272328.SAA07284@coral.aoml.noaa.gov> Received: from pc02.dof.moa.my by dof.moa.my with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA19057; Tue, 28 Jan 97 07:29:50 +0800 Date: Tue, 28 Jan 97 07:29:50 +0800 X-Sender: abrgor01@dof.moa.my X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: coral-list@coral.aoml.noaa.gov From: Ab Rahim Gor Yaman Subject: Effect of torist submarine Sender: owner-coral-list@aoml.noaa.gov Precedence: bulk Status: RO X-Status: Dear, Could anyone point me to any reference on the effects of tourist subamrine on coral reef and its related ecosystems.

This coral-reef symposium will take place one year after the launching of the IYOR at the 8th International Coral Reef Symposium in Panama. Among IYOR projects that are already scheduled for presentation at the PSA Inter-Congress in Fiji are the results of the PSA-SCCR assessment of the state of the coral reefs in the Pacific, a project funded by the U.S. Department of State's (DOS) International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI). Ten representatives of regions in the Pacific will present papers that will be published in a book on the status of reefs in the Pacific; the publication is being funded by Sea Grant at the University of Hawaii. This book should be available at the symposium in Fiji. A complementary project called GLOCOR (Global Coral Reef assessment), funded by a Winslow Foundation grant, will also be presented at the symposium. A major focus of the GLOCOR project is to resurvey the quantitative transects that were surveyed decades ago in order to quantitatively assess changes in Pacific reefs over the past decades. Contributed papers on all aspects of coral-reef science are welcome, but we are extending special invitation to papers in which examples are given for successful management programmes for coral-reef resources. We feel that the most effective method of promoting wise management of reef resources is not by outlining steps to take (telling people what to do) or giving alarming news about the state of the reefs. Rather, we urge the demonstation of case histories of methods that have proven successful, such as the well known results of marine reserves at Apo and Sumilon Islands in the Philippines. For comparative observations, dives are planned on one-day field trips in or near Suva Bay and Beqa Reef.

One studies the interactions between algae and sea urchins along the coast of Maine with particular emphasis on the effects of kelp on urchin settlement and survival. The other project is focused on predicting lobster stocks from settlement and life history data. Both projects have fishery management implications. Research will be based primarily from the Darling Marine Center in the Pemaquid region of the Maine Coast. But trips up to a week in duration will be made to three other regions along the coast of Maine, including the scenic islands of the Mt. Desert region. We are looking for at least six interns, four of which need to be SCUBA certified. Diving is shallow (up to 60 feet) in cold (40-65oF) water. Applicants must have their own full wetsuits or drysuits. Small boat handling experience is a plus. All divers need to be certified divers, have current CPR and First Aid certification, and the proper dive physical. Field research will include underwater surveying, and deploying and retrieving experiments. Those interns not certified will conduct lab experments and analyze data. All interns will be involved in construction of experiments, sorting samples collected from the field, and some computer data analysis. The duration of the internship is about 3 months. Most interns will start the first week of June, but there is a need for a few to start in late April or the beginning of July. Interns will live in the dorms at the Darling Marine Center, which is a busy place in the summer hosting interns, graduate students and researchers from around the nation and world. Room charges and monthly stipend will be provided. In addition, interns will receive training in diving and boat handling. There will be weekly seminars and evening discussion sessions on scientific literature pertinent to our research. We are seeking people who are enthusiastic about this kind of work, and may be considering research as an occupation. Exotic as this project may sound, please realize it requires long days of either physically demanding work in cold water, or long hours sorting samples in lab. Enthusiasm and excitement about marine research are just as (if not more) important than experience in determining a rewarding internship. This is a great opportunity for hands-on training in the field. Many past interns have used this experience to go on to graduate school or for employment as research technicians. For more information and an application form please email us at: Barthel@maine.maine.edu and we can send an application and information by email. Appllication deadline is MARCH 28, 1997. We will notify interns by mid-April. If you cannot email, send a self-addressed, stamped, business-size envelope to: DR.

To: hendee@aoml.noaa.gov Subject: To coralist: preserves Several recent messages have expressed concern for the effects of overfishing, cyanide and blast fishing on coral reefs. I would like to make a few points about progress combating these in the central Philippines that might be helpful to some readers. In the province of Negros Oriental, blast fishing has been stopped, cyanide fishing in non-existent, and about 19 preserves are in place and working. This began with a Silliman University team over 20 years ago which included Angel Alcala, Lawton Alcala, and Alan White, and has continued with research by Gary Russ, and by CEMRINO- a support group funded by the European Union, and continuing work by Lawton Alcala and the Research Management Division of the provincial government. For many years, work centered on Sumilon Island, which had successes and failures, and Apo Island- a continuing success. Marine reserves are well-known for allowing the recovery of fish stocks within the reserve, which can lead to 1. some fish wandering outside the preserve and getting caught, thus increasing total fish catches. 2. Increased maximum fish size leading to greatly increased egg & larvae production to re-seed other overfished areas by dispersal. 3. Increased fish size and density necessary for dive tourism. Bohnsack (1994) has argued eloquently for point 2. But I would like to propose that point 1 is actually the most critical in the short term. This is because developing countries like the Philippines have little or no capacity for enforcement of regulations. IF FISHERMEN FIND THEIR CATCHES INCREASING AFTER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MARINE RESERVE, THEY WILL BECOME ITS STRONGEST DEFENDERS, indeed, it's only effective defenders. This is the key that makes preserves work- if the fishermen don't want it or don't care, the preserve will fail, if they do want it, it has a good chance, especially if they are supported. This makes community-based preserves an imperative. The national government can declare preserves and parks, that will remain "paper parks" and may even hasten overuse. In Negros Oriental, many years of working with the fishermen, teaching, involving them in decisions, etc. have paid off. The sanctuary at Apo took several years to become firmly defended by the fishermen, but now it is secure, and fish catches are up and dive tourism is growing. Fishermen may take some convincing, but once they find their catches improving they become strong defenders of the preserve. One of our new preserves is swarming with fish after only 2 years! These preserves are, in effect, natural fish farms. And the word spreads. Setting up preserves in this province is now much easier than it used to be- 19 are now in place, all but a couple started in the last few years. We have been kept busy just surveying the places fishermen are suggesting for reserves- it's a popular concept here with fishermen- "the other village has one, how come we can't have one?" Our provincial government is committed to devoting scarce resources to continuing the work. And now, a variety of other groups in other provinces are starting to do the same thing. This is an idea whose time has come- it's catching on like a spark in dry grass, because everybody benefits- fisherman, conservationist, and diver. A critical factor seems to be that the community that fishes a reef lives within easy sight of the reef. Offshore reefs are much harder to patrol and defend- Sumilon had no resident fishing community, while Apo does, which is a major reason for the difference in outcome. Probably the best reef in the country is Tubbataha, which is so remote it is very hard to defend- see Alan White's book. During the education of resident fishing communities, the destructive nature of cyanide, blast, and compressor fishing can be emphasized, so that fishing outside the preserve can allow some recovery. Fishing villages here will drive off destructive fishers from elsewhere or even confiscate gear. In the future, dive tourism could bring in much more income than fishing from the same reefs. I point to Cozumel, Mexico, where a coral reef preserve about 15 miles long hosts about 50 dive boats a day and 2000 dives. This supports 50 dive shops, the owners and employees of the boats, hotels, restaurants, curio shops, airlines, and all their suppliers. A town of 80,000 people lives mostly off diving, and Cozumel ranks along with Alcapulco and Cancun among Mexico's biggest foreign-exchange earners. Some (but not all) dive operators and divers are worried about the effect of diving on the reef, yet the relatively mild effects of hurricane Gilbert (Fenner, 1991) far overshadowed the effects of divers, and the reefs are recovering from the hurricane in spite of 2000 dives/day continuing 365 days a year. Divers do some damage, but there is a growing concern among divers to protect reefs, and frankly, we may not have any other viable options (Gary Russ, 1996 argues we have no alternative to preserves). We can't turn the clock back to when only 1 or 2 billion people were crowded on this earth, and fish were abundant. Tourism can be badly mismanaged so that the wealthy come to sun on a beach in an all-inclusive resort guarded by barbed wire to keep the poor out, and almost all the money goes to wealthy owners in developed countries. Dive tourism doesn't have to be that way, and dive shops, hotels, and restaurants can be locally-owned, generate lots of jobs, and generate good will, as in Cozumel. The preserve idea is catching on just in time, because the general impression that many sites have been destroyed is quite right. And it may get worse. President Ramos on Dec 9 stated in a speech that the present human population of the Philippines is growing at 2.32% a year, and food production is growing at 1% a year. Better dissemination of new varieties of rice and corn would speed food production, but unless the human population growth is greatly reduced, all our efforts are going to be temporary victories- we will win the battle but loose the war. Solving the population problem will not solve other problems, but other problems cannot be solved (more than temporarily) without solving the population problem, and that includes fisheries and coral reef protection. Improving education, women's status, and income all help population efforts. -Douglas Fenner Arquiza, Y. and A. White. 1994. Tales from Tubbataha.

What can such estimates tell us about the regional scale impacts of climate change? Public Invited Monday, February 10, 1997, 3:15-4:45 PM Rayburn House Office Bldg., Room B369, Washington, DC Reception Following INTRODUCTION Dr. Joel Scheraga, Director of the Climate, Policy, and Assessment Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC. SPEAKERS Dr. Eric J. Barron, Director of the Earth System Science Center, Pennsylvania State University, College Park, PA. Dr. Robert G. Crane, Professor of Geography and Associate Dean for Education, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, Pennsylvania State University, College Park, PA. Overview Global-scale climate models (GCMs) can be successfully employed in examining the potential climate impacts of global warming on a regional scale, using a variety of recently developed techniques. Regional climate change results (assuming a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration) derived from such techniques project, for example, that the northeastern U.S. will have higher wintertime precipitation while the southwestern U.S. is projected to be substantially drier during winter. In summer, warmer global conditions are predicted to lead to increased precipitation over the southern U.S. These results would suggest that the Susquehanna River Basin, which is being examined closely, would receive higher levels of precipitation during every season in a doubled CO2 world, with the largest increases being in spring and summer. Global climate models, coupled with careful, regional modeling and analysis techniques, are the only tool available for providing long-term predictions of future climate and for assessing the climate implications of human activities. These comprehensive models require considerable computer resources, and consequently, they resolve the Earth's atmosphere and land surface only at very coarse spatial resolution (hundreds of miles). Using this spatial resolution, the ability of global models to produce simulations of the variables essential for assessing the regional impacts of global climate change on human or ecological systems is generally limited. For example, because precipitation is highly variable in time and geographic location, the prediction of this critical variable by global models tends to be inadequate for use in evaluating the regional consequences of precipitation changes for agriculture and/or water resources. In order to address this fundamental dilemma, two unique approaches are being explored so that results from global-scale climate models can, in fact, be successfully transformed into information that is useful in examining regional-scale changes relating to economic or ecological interests in a particular area. The first technique is called "nesting," and involves embedding a high resolution, limited-area climate model within a global-scale General Circulation Model (GCM) of the atmosphere. This is now being done for the United States. With this technique, the prediction of precipitation, particularly in the central U.S., is substantially improved compared to the global-scale model. The model results show a high correspondence with observations. Furthermore, the high resolution precipitation prediction provides a firm foundation for predicting river flow in major regions of the U.S. such as the Susquehanna River Basin which feeds into Chesapeake Bay. This has been demonstrated by an ability to simulate precipitation over the Basin and to match observed measurements of precipitation and water flow when the mesoscale model is coupled to a hydrologic model. The reason for the improved prediction of precipitation in the nested model is directly related to achieving better representation of the precipitation physics and because of the improved incorporation of topography. Statistical techniques also have significant potential as a method of "downscaling" (scaling from a coarse resolution model to a high spatial resolution prediction for a region). As an example, a set of so-called "neural net transfer functions" (a set of mathematical expressions) are being used to derive high resolution precipitation predictions for the Susquehanna River Basin based on global-scale GCM predictions of the circulation and humidity, an approach similar to what is used to derive local weather forecasts. The downscaled precipitation is, once again, a close match to the observed data. The improved ability to simulate precipitation using both downscaling methods and nested models indicates potential for greatly improved estimates of the regional impacts of climate change. For this reason, both techniques are being used to produce precipitation predictions for the initial case of a warmer world resulting from a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The nested model domain includes the entire continental United States. In winter, the northeastern U.S. is predicted to have higher precipitation (rising from an average of 1-2 mm/day to 2-4 mm/day), and the southwestern U.S. is predicted to be substantially drier. In summer, the largest changes from a doubled CO2 concentration involve increased precipitation over the southern U.S. The neural net technique, which is centered on the Susquehanna River Basin, indicates higher precipitation during every season in a doubled CO2 world, with a substantial increase (32%) in spring and summer. The smallest increases occur in the southeastern part of the Basin. Such increases would have dramatic effects on river flow, on valley communities, and on the Chesapeake Bay. Biographies Dr. Eric Barron received his bachelor's degree in geology from Florida State University in 1973. He then began the study of oceanography and climate at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Miami, receiving his master's degree in 1976 and his Ph.D. in 1980. His career in climate modeling was initiated with a supercomputing fellowship at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in 1976. In 1980 he accepted a postdoctoral fellowship at NCAR in Boulder, Colorado, and in 1981 he joined the staff in the Climate Section at NCAR. In 1985 he returned to the University of Miami as an Associate Professor. In 1986 he became a member of the Pennsylvania State University faculty as Director of the Earth System Science Center and an Associate Professor of Geosciences. His position currently remains the Director of the Earth System Science Center and Professor of Geosciences. Areas of specialization include, global change, numerical models of the climate system, and study of climate change throughout Earth history. Dr. Robert Crane received his bachelor's degree in physical geography from the University of Reading, England, in 1976. He did graduate work in polar climatology, microwave remote sensing, and sea ice-atmosphere interactions at the University of Colorado's Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) and the National Snow and Ice Data Center, receiving a Master's degree in 1978 and a Ph.D. in 1981. As a Research Associate in the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), he continued his work on the microwave remote sensing of sea ice. Subsequently, Dr. Crane spent a year as a visiting professor at the University of Saskatchewan. He joined the faculty of the Pennsylvania State University in 1985. Dr. Crane held a joint appointment in the Department of Geography and in the Earth System Science Center from 1985 to 1993, serving as Associate Director of the Center from 1990 to 1993. He was appointed Associate Dean for Education in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences in 1993, and currently holds the position of Associate Dean and Professor of Geography. His areas of specialization include sea ice-atmosphere interactions, synoptic climatology, and regional-scale climate change.

Increased maximum fish size leading to greatly increased egg & larvae production to re-seed other overfished areas by dispersal. 3. Increased fish size and density necessary for dive tourism. Bohnsack (1994) has argued eloquently for point 2. But I would like to propose that point 1 is actually the most critical in the short term. This is because developing countries like the Philippines have little or no capacity for enforcement of regulations. IF FISHERMEN FIND THEIR CATCHES INCREASING AFTER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MARINE RESERVE, THEY WILL BECOME ITS STRONGEST DEFENDERS. A response to the interesting and very encouraging posting by CEMRINO, relating particularly to point 1 above. Overspill from reserves is clearly one important mechanism by which they can benefit fishers. However, I doubt that the timescale over which such a benefit will occur will be much faster than that over which benefits from increased egg production accrue. Fish densities need to build up in reserves before significant export of juveniles and adults will occur. By this time, reserves should also be acting as an egg source for replenishment of fishing grounds. In the short term (2-3 years) it is likely that reserves will impose a cost on fishers. In the longer term, the benefits from reserves are likely to greatly outweigh the start-up costs. Garry Russ has shown empirically a delayed overspill from a Philippine reserve, taking approximately nine years befored he could detect enhanced abundance of fish adjacent to the reserve. Joshua Nowlis and I have done some modelling work to look a timescales and magnitudes of costs and benefits of reserve creation. If you would like a copy of the paper email Josh (jnowlis@uvi.edu) or me. Overcoming short-term costs of reserve establishment may be a difficult hurdle for poor fishers who are already struggling hard to make a living. There is a very good case for development projects seeking to establish reserves to help people over this hump with some form of subsidy, compensation or alternative livelihood provision. That would give reserves a better fighting chance of getting to the stage where they begin pouring benefits back directly to the fishing community, and they attract the support of fishers on their own merits.

One of the problems that we encounter on some of the reefs in Montego Bay, and from personal observation it also occurs in Negril is the recurring presence of sargassum weed every winter, starting from november when it starts to transform the reef into something more resembling an algae meadow until the end of april when the winterstorms have beaten all life out of it. I apologize for this non-scientific approach, I may not know the latin names, but I am very concerned about what happens in our reefs. The problem is that this type of algae was non existent to rare on our reefs prior to hurricane Gilbert. This hurricane did not do too much damage to the coral structures here, but actually cleaned some areas of other type of algae. It hit in September 1988 and in November of the same year we saw our first massive overrun with sargassum weed, and it has been repeated every winter since that year. Some of the areas that have more offshore currents coming in are not as badly affected as the reefs with relatively little current activity. Is there anyone who has done studies on this type of algae, the way it is spread and perhaps even has suggestions as to how to get rid of it??? Probably to much to ask for, but anyone with suggestions can e-mail us (unless it is of interest to the whole list) at poseidon@infochan.com We are gratefull for any suggestions on literature, publications etc. dealing with this matter.

Ogden, President of the International Society for Reef Studies (ISRS) announced today that Melanie Dotherow-McField, a graduate student in the Department of Marine Science at the University of South Florida, has been awarded the first ISRS-Sollins Fellowship in Coral Reef Ecosystem Science. The fellowship, worth approximately $13,000, was established last year by Professor Phillip Sollins of Oregon State University with a donation to the Society in partnership with the Center for Marine Conservation in Washington, DC. Ms.McField's application was selected by a committee of the ISRS and the CMC from a total of 29 applicants from all over the world. Ms. McField has worked in Belize since 1990, as a biologist with the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, as the Belize Representative of the International Tropical Conservation Foundation, and as a consultant with the Coastal Zone Management Project. She also served on the Board of Directors of the Belize Audubon Society. Ms. McField will use this Fellowship to support her graduate research on a survey of coral reef community structure and the investigation of their relationship to existing reef management efforts at various locations along the barrier reef complex. The information collected will also represent the baseline data for a long-term coral reef monitoring program conducted with the assistance of the Belize Fisheries Department and Coastal Zone Management Project. As a citizen of Belize, she will assist in the continuation of these conservation efforts in Belize upon completion of her PhD. Ms. McField's graduate supervisor is Dr. Pamela Hallock-Muller, Professor of Marine Science, who began her research on coral reefs as a graduate student at the University of Hawaii in the 1970's. Dr. Hallock and her graduate students at USF are investigating human impacts on coral reef ecosystems, including nutrient enrichment, diver impacts, and ultraviolet radiation. Dr. Steven Miller, ISRS Recording Secretary, who organized the applications and the review said: "We are very grateful to Professor Sollins for establishing this fellowship at the start of the 1997 International Year of the Reef, a global effort to raise public consciousness about threatened coral reefs." The coral reefs of Belize are among the most magnificent in the Caribbean Sea. The International Society for Reef Studies is an organization of 800 members from over 50 countries including students, scientists, resource managers, and policy-makers dedicated to the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge and understanding of coral reefs, both living and fossil. The ISRS publishes the scientific journal CORAL REEFS, the newsletter REEF ENCOUNTER, and holds an international meeting each year. Every four years the Society co-sponsors the International Coral Reef Symposium. The last Symposium, organized by the University of Panama and the Smithsonian Institution, was held in Panama last June and attracted over 1300 participants from all over the world. The next one will be held in Indonesia in the year 2000. For additional information contact: Dr. Steven Miller NOAA Nat. Undersea Res.

Our estimates of productivity are incredibly high -- between 19 and 35 t/km2/yr for the past five years, and 26 t/km2/yr in 1979 (Wass 1982). This includes invertebrates, but the estimates are still astronomical even when the inverts are factored out. The lastest paper I have seen on fisheries production in coral reef areas is Acosta and Recksiek, 1989. Coral reef fisheries at Cape Bolinao, Philippines: an assessment of catch, effort, and yield. Asian Marine Biology 6. 101-114. My question is this: are there any other estimates of yield that I have missed? I have no access to a library here (though can get papers through other sources) -- and I was wondering if there were any unpublished studies I may have missed.

She did a Masters degree (sort of under me) at Duke University and has since moved on to James Cook University in Australia where she is doing a PhD. Her Masters work involved using GIS to distinguish manangement strategies for different sectors of the Great Barrier Reef, and I'm relatively sure she is combining GIS and reefs for her PhD. MARJI PUOTINEN To: tremle@folly.cofc.edu Subject: Hello Eric, I am Francois Smith from the Southeastern Remote Sensing Center. I read your e-mail message requesting coral reef GIS. I am doing my dissertation on seagrass monitoring using remotely sensed data, so I have come across a study or two pertaing to coral reefs. John Jensen has done some satellite study of coral reefs in Cozumel, this processed data could be used as an image base for GIS. I have myself toyed with the idea of sreen digitzing from aerial photos I have of San Salvador, the coral features. Anyway, maybe you check some readings from Bjorn Kjerve, and Thomas Goreau as I know they are coral people who have been dabbling in remote sensing and GIS. Also, I went to a big conference in Puerto Rico which was on the techniques of remote sensing and GIS for the conservation of Caribbean's natural resources. It was called "Conference for Remote Sensing And Environmental Monitoring For the Sustained Development Of The Americas." If you find the proceedings of this you should be s! et. Also, you must be right next door to the NOAA Charlston Center. They are on the Fort Johnson too, and I know they maintain a library of publications on all this oceanographic and marine stuff (ask for Eric Dobson and mention my name). Anyway, if none of that pans out you are welcome to contact me because I am interested in this too and maybe could help develop something.

This work has several purposes for management, such as: 1) being able to predict where most of the damage from a storm might be so that field studies can be properly and cost effectively designed, 2) being able to reconstruct the history of cyclone disturbance over the GBR, to see if any areas are more "at risk" from cyclones than others (if so, perhaps you wouldn't want these to be your protected areas, or you wouldn't want to put tourist facilities there). Like you, I've found virtually no references of others doing reef studies with GIS, in fact, I'm interested in the studies you've found. Pretty soon, though, you'll be able to add some of my work to your bibliography as I'm just about to put out an atlas of cyclones through the GBR which I've constructed using ArcInfo and ArcView. Also, I've got a few papers to pull out of what I've done for the atlas so hopefully I'll get those together soon. I'm also doing some spatial analysis for Dr. Terry Hughes (a coral reef ecologist here at James Cook University) for a study of coral larvae survivorship across the entire GBRR. Some papers should come out of that work next year some time. Also, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, responsible for the wise use of the GBR Marine Park, have Arc-Info and sometimes use it for reef "studies" but this sort of thing is rarely published. Similarly, the Queensland Dept. of Environment also uses Arc-Info. Really, I can't think of anything else as you and I seem to be pioneers in this area. I'm interested to hear more about what you're doing, and let me know if you'd like more info about my work. I'll keep you posted on my upcoming publications if you wish. Looking forward to hearing from you again! Marji Puotinen ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From: Rick Smith To: tremle@folly.cofc.edu Subject: GIS - coral reefs Dear Eric, I received your e-mail via James Cook University and Dr.Terry Done (Australian Institute of Marine Science). As AIMS we are part of a larger program called the "CRC (Cooperative Research Centre) program". The CRC was set up to manage and protect the reefs rich resources. The CRC comprises of five partners AIMS (Australian Institute of Marine Science, James Cook University, GBRMPA (Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority), DPI (Dept. of Primary Industries) and AMPTO (Assoc. of Marine Park Tourism Operators). With particular emphasis on tourism, the CRC for the "Sustainable development of the Great Barrier Reef" helps expand reef-based industries and provides information for better science-based Reef management and decision making. The overall project has a GIS component of which I am involved as a GIS Technician (working at AIMS). The GIS system is still very much in its infancy. We currently use GIS (Arc/Info, Arcview and GRID) for "specific problems" such as working out "distribution of sediment types", "calculating bathymetry", "water volume" etc. for scientists involved in the CRC. Hopefully in the near future we will address the need for a system that is designed specifically around menus etc. for more general use. However, at the moment the GIS at AIMS is more question-answer driven. I suspect that you are probably more interested in overall management of coral reefs using GIS. I suggest that GBRMPA would be worth investigating as they are more involved in planning rather than the science. However I would be more than willing to help out if this is not the case. Internet addresses - "AIMS - http://www.aims.gov.au", "GBRMPA - http://www.gbrmpa.gov.au" Good luck! Rick.

From the standpoint of new data, project Reefbase and John McManus (J.McManus@cgnet.com) are the obvious contacts. 2. As part of her work on modeling reef area, Joanie Kleypas (kleypas@ncar.ucar.edu) has reviewed the various reef area estimates -- there are at least a half-dozen, ranging from 100,000 to 2-4,000,000 km2 (which makes the Smith '78 value right about in the middle). 3. Estimates of reef area will necessarily depend on scale, definition, and desired application --- so, a. All of the above numbers are probably right -- if you want the area dominated by live coral and coralline alage it is somewhere in the low end of the range, but if you want all reef-derived sedimentary structures and/or communities containing some reef organisms, it's the higher extreme. b. The Reefbase project is producing estimates that are arguably more accurate and precise -- for the definitions and criteria they use. That won't make their numbers noticeably better for other purposes, although it will probably improve the basis for other estimates. 4. There is no one-size-fits-all "best" number --each researcher is going to have to interpret the available data from the standpoint of his/her needs and applications and justify an appropriate value. What we can say is that values for various definitions have been estimated with a probable accuracy of better than an order of magnitude, but (my opinion here) getting below a factor of 2-3 in the possible range is not very likely at the global scale. This is the same conceptual problem as in previous questions about nutrient tolerances, temperature thresholds etc. -- corals and reef communities are both very heterogeneous classifications, so any generalizations have to be accepted as fairly sloppy.

Has anyone actually yet published any information to update Smith's estimate in 1978 (Nature 273: 225-6)? Has anyone even defined what "coral reef coverage" actually means? (dead structural coral is almost as important as live coral in providing fish habitat, for instance) It is a little difficult to develop national policies and management measures (and sustainability indicators in particular) for artisanal and subsistence coral reef fisheries, for example, when you don't even know this fundamental statistic for anything except a few reefs in a few countries. And as Tanya presumably has found, it is impossible to estimate global potentials and limits when there are so many gaps and discrepancies. I would also be *very* interested in any replies to this question...

Our coral reef area paper is indeed "in press" in Coral Reefs, but attached is an abstract. I would agree with Bob Buddermeier's comments. There is an enormous range in the area estimates produced by different authors much of which can be related to differences in definition. "Our" global area (255,000km2) focusses on the shallow areas of reef associated with the classic (Darwinian) reef-types. Largely due to lack of consistent mapped information around the globe we ignore the deeper submerged structures and areas of "reefal shelf". I suspect that, even if we had all the information we could possibly want, we could expect global reef areas to vary by more than a factor of 10 simply due to very legitimate and useful variance in definition.

M.D. Spalding and A.M. Grenfell. Abstract Global and regional coral reef area statistics are of considerable value in fields ranging from global environmental change to fisheries to conservation. Although widely quoted, Smith's (1978) figure of 600,000 km2 is only an approximate calculation. The World Conservation Monitoring Centre has prepared a new estimate of reef coverage by mapping emergent reef crest and very shallow reef systems. These data were rasterised, using 1 km grid squares, as a means of reducing errors arising from variation in scale. Global and regional reef coverages were calculated from the resultant grid. The total global area is estimated at 255,000 km2, considerably lower than many previous estimates. Variation in reef area estimates is, in part, a function of variation in reef definition.

MUCH OF THIS IS REDUNDANT, BUT AT LEAST WE'RE ALL AGREEING ON SOME THINGS. Your question is a good one. Estimates of reef coverage on the earth are only now being updated. Below is a quick table of various estimates of reef cover from the literature. ============================================================================ SOURCE ESTIMATE NOTE 10^3 km^2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smith, 1978 617 reef coverage to 30 m depth De Vooys, 1979 100 Achituv & Dubinsky, 1990 2000 Crossland et al., 1991 617 used Smith's estimate to include photic zone reefs, where sediments 80% reefal Copper, 1994 1500 added relict reefs, carbonate banks and inter-reef tract to Crossland et al. estimate Kleypas 584-3930 range of modeled results based on light-dependent reef depth limit Spalding and Grenfell 255 "emergent reef crest and very shallow reef systems" ============================================================================ There is a wide range of values, due to two major factors which I outline below. 1. The fuzzy definition of what constitutes a coral reef The definition of "coral reef" is often different for biologists/ecologists versus geologists. The geological definition requires that the coral community accumulate enough calcium carbonate to form an identifiable buildup with structural relief relative to the surrounding sea bed. But corals can certainly exist without forming a reef. Geologists call these "coral communities" rather than reefs; that is, a coral reef has the capacity to accumulate carbonate and keep up with sea level rise, while a coral community does not have that capacity. Hence, where the individual researcher "drew the line" between coral reefs and coral communities has something to do with his/her estimate of coral cover. (It should be noted that from an ecological standpoint, however, this distinction makes little difference -- coral communities seem to function ecologically very much the same as coral reefs. Thus conservation issues generally apply to both coral reefs and communities.) 2. Our poor knowledge of reef distribution Reefs are poorly charted on navigational charts. Navigators tend to call any structure that is a navigational hazard (reefs, submerged rocks, shoals, etc) a "reef", while structures which exist below the depth where they pose navigational risk tend not to be charted as "reefs". John McManus (ICLARM, Philippines) and Mark Spalding (WCMS - World Conservation Monitoring Centre) are compiling area coverage estimates for the ReefBase project (see web site: http://www.wcmc.org.uk/data/database/reefbase.html). Their estimates are based on these charted reefs only; but will eventually be the most accurate. My own method has been to estimate reef area coverage by modeling suitable reef habitat on the globe, based on environmental tolerances for reef-building corals (e.g., temperature, light, salinity). These reef area estimates vary greatly (584,000 - 3,242,000 km2) depending on the light level chosen in the model as "limiting" to reef growth. Based on comparisons of the model predictions with known reef locations, and the overall observation that most active coral reef growth is limited to around 30 m depth, the LOWER FIGURE is likely the best guess. This lower figure is also surprisingly close to Steve Smith's 1978 figure, which he came up with before any of these global marine data sets were around! I have a paper in review to Paleoceanography on these estimates and can send you a draft or preprint if necessary. added comments: COMPARED TO MARK SPALDING'S ESTIMATE OF 255,000 KM2, THE MODELED VALUES ARE HIGH BECAUSE THEY DO INCLUDE DEEPER SUBMERGED REEFS AND "REEFAL SHELF"; AND ALSO BECAUSE THE RESOLUTION IS LOWER (MARKS: 1 KM; MINE: 9KM). ------------------------------------ You might want to get Mark Spalding's latest estimate! -- YOU ALREADY HAVE THIS BY NOW. cheerio, Joanie **************************************************************************** J.

We thank Gregor Hodgson for initiating this wonderful activity and hope that by participating and sharing our experience in organizing ReefCheck we can encourage and inspire others to do similar things in their regions. GENERAL IDEA Scientists have the possibility to conduct ReefCheck with the help of recreational divers who are on vacation in the Red Sea. We have the unique opportunity to use the diving and tourism industry to convey the message of IYOR and ReefCheck to those who are usually not interested or active in reef conservation. We are convinced that we can awaken enthusiasm and sensibility in the divers and can thus have an important impact on the behaviour of the single diver as well as on the tourism industry. The following text is to inform you how we are organizing ReefCheck, how we plan to conduct it and what endeavours we have undertaken to fund the operation. OFFICIAL SETTING The following Egyptian authorities fully support IYOR and ReefCheck provided the official routes are maintained and professionality is guaranteed: 1) "The Ministry of Scientific Research" and the "National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries" are in the process of distributing information and obtaining necessary legal permissions 2) "Parliamentary Research Center" & "People's assembly of Egypt" 3) The Department of Marine Science of the Suez Canal University in Ismailia 4) The "Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA)" and the "Ras Mohammed National Park Authority" 5) HEPCA (Hurghada Environmental Protection and Conservation Association), an official non governmental organization also supports IYOR and ReefCheck 'BOOT' WATERSPORTS FAIR IN DUESSELDORF, JANUARY 1997 IYOR was launched at the biggest European boating and diving show (368,000 visitors). ReefCheck was also advertised there, for more inf. please visit our homepage at: http://www.geologie.uni-stuttgart.de/iyor SCIENTISTS Scientists from Egypt, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France and the UK have shown interest in leading ReefCheck groups in Egypt. The list of group leaders will be posted as soon as it is definite. REEFCHECK GROUPS: A) Groups travelling to Egypt to conduct ReefCheck (e.g. Professors with their students) are welcome, provided they adhere to Egyptian authority's rules and regulations. Please contact us, if you wish to conduct ReefCheck in Egypt. We will help you with the official context. B) Our main activities will be conducted through local diving centers, for two reasons: B1. This way we can use available logistics, such as diving boats and equipment, accommodation, booking etc. (see below) B2. The main reason though is that in Egypt a big percentage of the environmental problems of coral reefs are due to tourism and related activities. Incorporating the tourism industry into IYOR activities and thus directly targeting those responsible for damage is essential. VOLUNTEERS The volunteers will be recruited from the "general diving tourists". Divers should have at least a few years of diving experience and/or a minimum of 30 dives. Scientists will advertise among the divers, who are already spending their holiday at the locations this summer. We will also be advertising ReefCheck in diving magazines and hope that some enthusiastic divers will book their next diving vacation at a "ReefCheck-facility". WHERE We will be concentrating on Sinai, Hurghada and Safaga and as far as we can get from there. TIME FRAME ReefCheck is designed to be conducted on one day at each site, sometime between June 14th and August 30th. Normally 2-3 weeks would be sufficient to cover the intended regions. Nevertheless we have decided to be present for the entire time. This means that some sites will be checked more than once. The reason for this extended ReefCheck is that we can raise public attention and reach more divers if we spend a longer time on the spot. LOCAL FACILITIES We will be mainly cooperating with two diving centers that have an excellent international (and national) reputation. Specific permissions by the Egyptian government will be issued for these dive centers. Both Diving Centers operate 5-10 dive boats daily (approx. 10 divers a boat). Furthermore they offer courses on marine ecology for divers in their normal programme and are generally active in reef conservation: SINAI DIVERS in Sharm el Sheikh, Sinai (contact Rolf Schmidt & Petra Roeglin) Tel: + 20-62-600697 / Fax: +20-62-600158 email: sinai_divers@sinainet.com.eg homepage http://www.sinaidivers.com JASMIN DIVING CENTER, in Hurghada (contact Monika Wiget) Tel: +20-65-442442-9 / Fax: +20-65-442441 / Tel & Fax: +20-65-442455 or 547360 In addition a diving center from Safaga will also participate for a short period.

We will inform you as soon as things are more definite. PROCEDURE THE SCIENTISTS At least one scientist, who is capable of leading ReefCheck groups, will be present at each center throughout the entire time. Each scientist will spend 2 weeks at the facility. who: The Scientists should be experts in the field of reef ecology, and have sufficient experience with field work (see Gregor Hodgson's outlines). The scientist will recruit volunteers from the present tourists with the help of the diving centers. It is up to the groupleaders to generate enthousiasm in the tourists, to ensure he (or she) has volonteers to do ReefCheck. Giving seminars and/or slide shows to the diving tourist, teaching the basics of reef ecology, conveying the concept of IYOR and ReefCheck is one way of catching the tourists attention and enthusiasm. I am sure we can find a group of 5-8 divers (out of 100 guests of each diving center) who would love to do ReefCheck for a week or so. It will be the responsibility of the scientist to ensure the scientific quality of the work and to teach the volunteers the methods. THE DIVING CENTERS The diving centers offer the entire logistics. The diving is free for the group leader and possibly also for a second person. An experienced divemaster will be present on the boat to ensure diving safety. The centers will advertise ReefCheck on all their boats and possibly also in diving magazines. They will take care of the reservations etc. of the volunteers. They will offer the facilities to give seminars and slide shows. Probably one of the dive boats will be entirely designated to ReefCheck. The diving centers have negotiated with hotels for free accommodation of the scientist leading a ReefCheck group. DATA PROCESSING For general data processing, see Gregor Hodgson's outlines. Each diver group will be responsible for processing its own data, and can certainly use the data for their own use. The data will however also be submitted to us for compilation. A copy of the data MUST be submitted to Egyptian authorities and will be submitted to ReefCheck headquarters (Gregor Hodgson, Hong Kong), with the permission to prepare a summary paper. PREPARATION Gert Woerheide and myself (Moshira Hassan) will be in Egypt for the first 3-4 weeks, to get things running smoothly. For instance the boat crews and dive masters will need to be adapted to a different kind of diving etc. MEDIA Several German radio programmes have already reported about IYOR and ReefCheck during and after the 'boot'. Several local Egyptian magazines and German diving magazines will be continuously reporting about IYOR and ReefCheck. Uli Erfurth will report on IYOR and ReefCheck in the ARD-Wunschbox on Feb. 11th An Egyptian and a German and possibly a UK TV team will be in Egypt, reporting about ReefCheck this summer. FUNDING FROM WHOM AND HOW TO CONVINCE THEM Obviously funding of ReefCheck is a problem for most of us. The normal "scientific channels" are not too generous up to now on this subject, as it is not considered a "highly scientific" project but a big public awareness programme. The more renowned scientists advocate reef conservation and public awareness and education the better the chances will be in future to obtain funding from science foundations and others. The logical consequence is to tap the diving industry. This is generally a good move in regions where diving tourism is well developed, as there are many potential sponsors. You need to convince the facilities: i.e. diving centers, live aboards, airlines, hotels etc. but also diving magazines, manufacturers of diving equipment and even diving federations and associations who educate divers and diving instructors. The convincing arguments we have been using are the following (they are all true, you need to drum it into the heads of some people though) 1) The main argument is a financial one: It lies in the interest of the tourism industry to promote IYOR and the conservation of reefs - because if there are no more healthy reefs there is no more business. 2) The attitude of the "normal diver" has in fact changed over the last decade. Divers are more aware of the environment and are interested in learning about marine life. Diving centers must also adapt and act in a more conscientious way, if they want to keep their clients. 3) Other facilities are already supporting IYOR actively, you don't want to stand behind? 4) It is an honour to participate in activities of the IYOR. WHAT IS BEING (OR HAS BEEN) SPONSORED FOR REEFCHECK 1) The diving centers Sinai Divers, Jasmin Diving Center as well as Shams Safaga (see inf. above) offer the use of their facilities free of charge to the scientists to conduct ReefCheck 2) The Ghazala Hotel in Sharm el Sheikh, the Yasmin Diving Center in Hurghada and Shams Safaga, in Safaga offer free accomodation and half board for the groupleaders. In total that is 24 weeks of free for at least one scientist. 3) We are in touch with airlines for free flights of the group leaders. We don't have any definite answers yet, but are hoping.. 4) The volunteers get a certificate of participation printed on PAPYRUS. This will be printed directly at Kyros Paschalis dive shop and printing press in Cairo 5) PASCHALIS will also produce stamps with the IYOR logo and ReefCheck so that we can stamp the logbooks of the volunteers. 6) 300 underwater slates are sponsored by IQ company. Every participant can keep his own slate. Of course we will have IYOR and ReefCheck printed on the slates. 7) The reporters of 2 German diving magazines (Unterwasser, tauchen) are marine biologists themselves and might lead a ReefCheck group. Or at least participate as volunteers. So free propaganda is guaranteed. Well, let us all hope things run smoothly and that ReefCheck becomes a big success! We wish you luck with all your IYOR and ReefCheck activities. *********** If you wish to participate please contact Gert, he is responsible for the coordination of the groupleaders.

There are several types of paper that have different capabilities and costs, depending upon what your application requires. Rite-in-the-Rain, water-resistant paper is plastic coated. It is intended for use in conditions of frequent splashing. Some scientists use it underwater with no problem. Others report that water seeps through the plastic coating at the edges and where a pencil has scratched the coating. You can write on it with a pencil or a waterproof pen, or you can pre-print forms on it with a photocopier or a lasert printer. Rite-in-the-Rain comes in 200-sheet packages. 8.5" x 11" U.S. $16.30 (20 or more packages, $14.60 each) 8.5" x 14" $21.10 (20 or more, $18.85 ea) 11" x 17" $32.75 (20 or more, $29.40 each) A-4 (metric) $17.45 (20 or more, $15.60 each) A-3 $35.15 (20 or more, $31.15 each) (These prices do not include shipping costs) Dura-Rite paper is all-plastic, so it is completely waterproof. You can write on it with a pencil or a waterproof pen, or forms can be pre-printed with an offset printing process. This paper cannot be printed with a photocopier or laser printer, because the heat caused it to deform. Dura-Rite paper comes in packages of 100 sheets. 8.5" x 11" $22.00 per package (10 or more packages, 20.00 each) (other sizes can be cut at extra cost) Dura-Copy is a premium-quality, completely-waterproof paper. Like Dura-Rite, Dura-Copy accepts pencil or waterproof pen. Unlike Dura-Rite, it also works in photocopiers and laser printers. 8.5" x 11" $52.45 (10 or more, $49.95 each) 11" x 17" $99.95 (10 or more, $97.95 each) You can also get water-resistant and waterproof field books, underwater clipboard/slate assemblies and waterproof pens. The pens work well, but they are an unnecessary expense, because pencil works well on this paper. I've been very happy with a #2 pencil in my underwater research. Custom printing of forms and field books is also available. For more information, you can e-mail me or contact: Dr. Randy Runnels Marine Education & Research Specialties, Inc. P.O.

Dr. David Tilman, Distinguished McKnight University Professor of Ecology, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN. OVERVIEW Although 80% of the Earth's atmosphere is made up of molecular nitrogen (N2), only a small but very important fraction of this nitrogen is converted to a form that can be used by plants and animals, a form known as "fixed" nitrogen. Until recently, this "fixed" atmospheric nitrogen has been thought of as beneficial to all living things. However, industrial and other human derived sources of fixed nitrogen have now doubled the rate that is now available. This global overload of fixed nitrogen, despite being one of nature's essential life-giving and life-limiting nutrients, now poses a suite of very serious environmental concerns. For example, too much nitrogen can result in: 1) loss of commercially important fish stocks and ecosystems by promoting algal blooms which result in oxygen deprivation and reduced sunlight in coastal and aquatic ecosystems; 2) local extinction of terrestrial plant, animal, and microbial species, thereby reducing biodiversity and ecosystem health; 3) an increase in the greenhouse gas, N2O, which is contributing to global warming; and 4) an increase in the concentration of nitric oxide, which contributes to acid rain and smog. The Global Nitrogen Cycle: Natural and Humanly-Altered Conditions Molecular nitrogen (N2) is the most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere. However, in order for nitrogen to be useful to life it must first be transformed, naturally, into forms that are useful to living organisms, a process known as "nitrogen-fixation." Life depends on "fixed" nitrogen that can be absorbed by plants and subsequently used by animals linked together in the "food chain." The amount of nitrogen available at any one time and place has a direct effect on the growth of plants--on land and in the sea-- because fixed nitrogen is an essential life-giving and life-limiting nutrient. Thus, the health of the biosphere is strongly dependent upon the availability of nitrogen in a chemical form that is useful to life. Under natural conditions, a small amount of nitrogen is fixed through chemical processes such as lightning. A much larger amount is fixed by biological processes involving nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil and on the roots of certain plants. Once plants die, however, this fixed nitrogen is subsequently returned to the atmosphere by the decomposition of dead tissue by bacteria and is then recycled for later use. To enhance the availability of nitrogen for living things such as food and fiber products, humans produce nitrogen in the form of fertilizer. With the growth of agriculture, half of all industrial nitrogen fertilizer used in human history has been applied since 1984. In addition to their intentional creation of fixed nitrogen, humans also inadvertently produce fixed nitrogen through the burning of fossil fuels. On a global scale, the fixation of nitrogen by humans now roughly equals the amount of nitrogen that was formerly made available naturally to life by the combined activity of all bacteria on land. In other words, our society has now doubled the amount of fixed nitrogen available to all living things. Growing amounts of fixed nitrogen are showing up in remote locations, leading to significant impacts. The concentration of nitrous oxide (N2O) in the Earth's atmosphere, is rising at about 0.3%/yr. Perhaps even more ominously, N2O has roughly 200 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide, and remains in the Earth's atmosphere for approximately 150 years, thus making it a long-lived and potent problem. Nitrous oxide is also implicated in the loss of stratospheric ozone. Increases in the emissions of nitric oxide (NO) due to the combustion of coal and oil also contribute directly to higher levels of acid rain and ozone (smog) in the lower atmosphere. Atmospheric deposition of nitrogen is the largest single source of human-derived nitrogen in the eastern U.S. coastal waters. There is now 10-20 times more nitrogen entering coastal rivers in the northeastern U.S. and northern Europe than in pre-industrial times. Excess nitrogen flushed from fertilized farmlands, sewage treatment plants, and fossil fuel combustion ultimately ends up in streams, rivers, and coastal waters, where it provokes and enhances the growth of microscopic plants that form the base of the food chain upon which more complex and larger plants and animals later feed. However, during the prolific, nitrogen-driven growth and life cycle of these marine and aquatic microscopic plants, they tend to cloud the waters, thus shutting out essential sunlight for other plants. Furthermore, upon the death of these microscopic and larger plants, their once living tissue is consumed by bacteria which proliferate due to the excess nitrogen, and deplete the surrounding water of oxygen necessary for the metabolic processes of marine and aquatic animals, including important commercial fish and shellfish stocks. Impacts of Nitrogen Deposition on Terrestrial Ecosystems Since 1982, Dr. Tilman and his colleagues have been engaged in an experiment in which fixed nitrogen was systematically added to 207 plots of grassland and savanna throughout Minnesota. In each instance, nitrogen was added at rates which have been observed in a variety of locations around the world so as to mimic and replicate real levels of nitrogen deposition in a variety of places. The results of this 12-year experiment reveal that high levels of nitrogen can have a number of serious impacts on these and other ecosystems, including: 1. The addition of nitrogen to these grasses caused major changes in plant species composition, insect species composition, and soil fungal composition. Higher nitrogen levels led to decreased abundances of native plants and to increased abundances of non-native plants, especially certain non-indigenous grasses. 2. The addition of nitrogen caused a significant decrease in plant species diversity. The lowered diversity in these experimental grassland sites corresponded with lowered stability of primary productivity in the face of a major disturbance such as a flood or drought. 3. When nitrogen was added at low rates to plots dominated by native prairie grasses, most of the nitrogen was retained within the ecosystem. However, at higher rates of nitrogen addition, the native species were replaced by non-native species, while most of the added nitrogen was leached into the ground water. Ultimately, higher levels on nitrogen in the ground water (in the form of nitrates) can provoke toxic algal blooms in waterways and seriously impair the quality of drinking water. 4. The highest rates of carbon storage occurred at the lowest rates of nitrogen addition, in direct contrast to anticipation. In instances where high levels of nitrogen were available, the ability of the plant community to effectively store carbon was lowered. A shift in plant species composition was also observed to occur in instances involving higher rates of nitrogen addition. This resulted in low rates of carbon storage because these plant species decayed too rapidly to effectively store carbon. 5. High rates of nitrogen deposition are likely to greatly impact the composition, functioning and stability of many terrestrial, aquatic and marine ecosystems, with profound implications for food supplies and other ecosystems services.

With this message, I am presenting a summary of my thesis. I am very keen to receive any feedback/queries from other coral-list members interested in the subject. The project was carried while I was a student of Peter Spencer Davies at Glasgow University. All laboratory and field experiments were based at the Bellairs Research Institute of McGill University in Barbados. The first paper from this work has been recently published: F. Marubini, P.S. Davies (1996) Nitrate increases zooxanthellae population density and reduces skeletogenesis in corals. Mar. Biol. 127: 319-328. THESIS SUMMARY keywords: hermatypic corals, eutrophication, nitrate, phosphate, carbon budget, calcification, ecotoxicology. Nutrient enrichment of tropical waters constitutes an increasing threat to the health and biodiversity of coral reefs. In order to manage these ecosystems effectively, the onset of nutrient pollution has to be closely monitored. This thesis examined the possibility of using some physiological responses of hermatypic corals as an early-warning bio-assay, to detect nutrient enrichment before reef deterioration has taken place. To this aim, the physiology of the common branching coral Porites porites and the massive coral Montastrea annularis was studied both in the laboratory and on the reef under different nutrient conditions. By measuring the organic and inorganic productivity of corals and by constructing carbon budgets, it was hoped to relate differences in the fixation, allocation and utilisation of carbon to differences in nutrient regimes. Nubbins of Porites porites and explants of Montastrea annularis were chosen as the experimental units. Nubbins were obtained by cutting coral tips (approx. 20 mm.), grounding their cut surface flat, and gluing them onto a perspex tile with cyanoacrylate glue. To obtain explants, a coral head was cored under a drill press fitted with a hole saw. Cores were then cut to fit, and sealed into polyethylene cups with underwater epoxy putty. A new culturing system was developed to grow corals successfully in the laboratory under completely controlled and repeatable conditions. This system (the ‘photostat’) consisted of glass aquaria (30x21x18 cm) placed in a constant temperature water-bath under metal halide lamps. The aquaria were fitted with specially designed air lines and coral trays to maintain a strong water motion around the corals, independent of the rate of water-flow. A peristaltic pump ensured a daily water turn-over. A new improved carbon budget methodology was developed by comparing the well established methods of Davies (1984) and Muscatine et al. (1984) on Porites porites. These methodologies differed in the measurements of zooxanthellae respiration rate (RZ) and zooxanthellae growth rate (m). RZ, DAVIES was found to be twice as small as RZ, MUSCATINE (RZ, DAVIES = 18.1 mgC cm-2d-1 vs. RZ, MUSCATINE = 33.1 mgC cm-2d-1), but this accounted for a difference of only 3% when RZ was expressed as a percentage of the total daily carbon input. By comparison, a 25-fold difference between methods occurred in the component of carbon required for the daily growth of the zooxanthellae. Davies’ method measured the net rate of zooxanthellae growth (uNET) from the increase in surface area, assuming a constant zooxanthellae population density. In this case uNET was only 1.65 mgC cm-2d-1. Muscatine’s method measured the gross rate of zooxanthellae growth (uGROSS) from the mitotic index of freshly isolated zooxanthellae, assuming a duration of cell division (td) of 11h. This accounted for a daily expenditure of 41.1 mgC cm-2d-1. The assumption of td might make this method prone to error. However, assuming that the measurement of uGROSS is correct, two new budget components had to be introduced to account for the large difference between uGROSS and uNET. These were expulsion and digestion, which had not been previously recognised. The latter had important consequences on the shape of the carbon budget because any carbon fixed in zooxanthellae that are digested constitutes an intrinsic part of total carbon translocated to the host. Therefore, Davies’ budget, using uNET, overestimated translocation by the amount of carbon lost in expulsion, and Muscatine’s budget, using uGROSS underestimated translocation by the amount contained in digested zooxanthellae. The new methodology incorporated these components. The carbon fixed by gross photosynthesis was still assumed to be the only source of carbon to the system. Carbon expenditure by the zooxanthellae was then divided into respiration, net growth and expulsion. The remaining carbon made up the component of total translocation, integrating the processes of translocation of fixed carbon from zooxanthellae to host, and digestion of zooxanthellae. Carbon was used by the host for respiration and growth, and any surplus was assumed to be lost from the symbiosis. The effects of elevated nitrate on the budget components were tested for both Porites porites and Montastrea annularis in a month-long laboratory experiment. Corals were grown in the photostat under oligotrophic seawater and under three concentrations of nitrate (1, 5 and 20 uM). The response was the same in both coral species, and similar to previous reports on the effects of elevated levels of ammonia. Under higher nitrate concentration (5 and 20 uM), corals had a higher rate of photosynthesis per surface area, and a higher zooxanthellae population density. The freshly isolated zooxanthellae had a higher nitrogen, protein and chlorophyll content per cell when corals were grown in enriched seawater than in oligotrophic seawater. This is further evidence that zooxanthellae in hospite in oligotrophic seawater are nitrogen limited. The amount of carbon fixed in photosynthesis and available for translocation to the host was found to increase with nitrate enrichment. Hence, the overall organic productivity of corals appeared to be enhanced by nitrate. In contrast, the growth rate of corals measured by buoyant weighing was significantly reduced by nitrate enrichment. The average growth rate of Porites porites decreased from 1.24 mg cm-2d-1 (control) to 0.68 mg cm-2d-1 (20 uM NO3), and that of Montastrea annularis decreased from 1.14 mg cm-2d-1 (control) to 0.51 mg cm-2d-1 (20 uM NO3). It was suggested that, under elevated nitrate, the increased carbon requirements of the higher zooxanthellae population density promoted carbon competition between zooxanthellae and calicoblastic cells. Since zooxanthellae are in the gastrodermal cells closer to the pool of dissolved inorganic carbon in seawater, they had a competitive advantage over the calicoblastic cells, and calcification was reduced. This was defined as the ‘endogenous carbon limitation of calcification’. A similar experimental design was used to test the effects of phosphate enrichment on corals. Phosphate was added to oligotrophic water to give four treatments of 0, 0.2, 1 and 5 mM PO4. Overall, no significant change in the organic productivity of corals was measured. Phosphate enrichment resulted in a significant reduction of the daily calcification rate of Porites porites, but not of Montastrea annularis. In order to test if changes in water quality on the reef affected coral physiology, nubbins of Porites porites and explants of Montastrea annularis were grown for a month at three sites along a eutrophication gradient on the west coast of Barbados. The most oligotrophic site was the offshore one (OS) with low nutrient concentration and high light. The intermediate site (BRI) was characterised by higher nutrient concentration and high light. The most polluted site (SG) had both high nutrients and low light penetration. At the end of the exposure period corals of both species could be discriminated between sites on the basis of their physiological characteristics alone. Corals at OS showed some evidence of nitrogen limitation with a significantly lower zooxanthellae population density, lower nitrogen and chlorophyll content per zooxanthella, and lower photosynthetic efficiency than at the other sites. At BRI, corals attained significantly higher rates of gross photosynthesis and calcification, and their zooxanthellae contained significantly higher amounts of photosynthetic pigments. Corals at SG were characterised by a high zooxanthellae population density, high nitrogen and photosynthetic pigment content per cell, and relatively low primary productivity and calcification. Thus corals at each site were found to respond to both nutrient enrichment and irradiance levels in a combined manner. The use of discriminate function analysis was pivotal in identifying those physiological variables that are most sensitive to nutrient enrichment (‘primary’ characters), and those that are highly dependent on irradiance and only secondarily on nutrient levels (‘secondary’ characters). Photosynthetic pigments’ concentration constituted ‘primary’ characters. These were found to increase with nutrient concentration (from OS to BRI), and remain high as environmental degradation brought about a decrease in irradiance (from BRI to SG). The rates of gross photosynthesis, respiration and calcification corresponded to ‘secondary’ characters. These were related to environmental degradation by a single-humped curve, increasing with nutrient enrichment and decreasing again as the reduction in light developed. Thus corals in the most oligotrophic site (OS) and the highly degraded site (SG) could not be separated on the basis of ‘secondary’ characters alone. Therefore in contrast to expectations, this study found that a reduction in the growth rate or in the organic productivity of corals per se cannot be taken to imply the presence of stress factors. The carbon budgets and the simple ratio of dayPgross/24hRc, were found to be entirely dependent on the rate of photosynthesis when corals from different nutrient environments were compared. This was the case because the budget expenditure components that were found to differ significantly between treatments (for example, zooxanthellae population density), were very small when compared to photosynthesis. Therefore, in relation to nutrient enrichment, carbon budgets and the ratio dayPgross/24hRc were included with photosynthesis among the ‘secondary’ characters. Among the physiological parameters measured in this study, the ‘primary’ characters and in particular the photosynthetic pigment content per surface area, were identified as the parameters with the highest potential for the development of a bio-assay to detect the onset of nutrient enrichment on coral reefs.

It takes about two weeks for the disease to completely kill the sponge. The bleaching usually starts from the bas e of the sponge and gradually works itself up, until the whole sponge is completely bleached out. Then the sponge just crumbles apart. We have notice this phenomenon of the reef off Ambergris Caye, Turneffe Islands, and Lighthouse Reef. We are not awar e if the disease is present on the reefs of Southern Belize and Glovers Reef, but suspect the situation to be the same.

The two largest programs are GCRMN and Reef Check. Both of these programs have the same overall objectives of measuring human impacts and natural variation in coral reef communities sufficiently to determine their status and trends. At this time, we would like to clarify the relationship between GCRMN and Reef Check. These two programs were designed to complement each other by dividing the available resources. GCRMN is presently best set up to work with governments and to make use of monitoring teams composed purely of scientists. Reef Check is best equipped to utilize monitoring teams composed of recreational divers, led by a marine scientist. Therefore, we would encourage all monitoring teams to register accordingly with the appropriate program -- scientific teams with GCRMN and recreational diver teams with Reef Check. Note that dual registration with both programs will also be accepted. Beyond 1997 and IYOR, the goal will be to merge these two programs. With your help, by the end of 1997, we will have an unprecedented synoptic view of the global health of coral reefs.

It can be found on the WWW at: http://www.ogp.noaa.gov/misc/coral/8icrs/ The section of interest is: While the most widely cited estimate of the world's coral reef area is 617,000 km^2 (Smith 1978), others have calculated estimates as low as 230,000 km^2 (Spalding in press) and as high as 1,500,000 km^2 (Copper 1994; Kleypas pers. comm.) (Web Figure 1: Reef Area Estimates). Spalding suggests that reef area estimates are likely to span an order of magnitude based solely on the definition of reef that is used and results of modeling by Kleypas and others are strongly dependent upon parameterization.

Atolls are special ecosystems that consist of small islets and hundreds of thousands of acres of submerged reef and ocean. This two week course will be conducted entirely within the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, 1800 miles northwest of Hilo. Midway is home to over two million Laysan and Black-footed albatrosses, 14 other species of seabirds, as well as Hawaiian monk seals, green sea turtles, spinner dolphins, and countless fish and invertebrates. While on Midway, the formation, structure, distribution and oceanography of atolls will be studied in situ. Students will observe first-hand the marine and terrestrial biota of Midway Atoll while learning about the ecology of atolls. Human impacts on atoll environments and atoll resource management issues will be discussed. Students will learn through personal observation, lectures by UH Hilo faculty and US Fish and Wildlife Service biologists, fieldtrips, and primary sources from current scientific literature. This course requires a prior college-level biology or oceanography course, or the consent of the instructor. Dates: June 20 - July 4, 1997 Price: $2275 includes roundtrip airfare from Lihue, Kauai to Midway, bicycle use, room, 3 meals/day, and boat transporation for fieldtrips. Tuition, summer session fees and airfare to Kauai not included. Class size limited to 17 students. For more information contact: Karla McDermid or Walter Dudley Marine Science Dept.

The bleaching was attributed to a two month period of warm water temperatures between 32 and 34 degrees in shallow back reef areas. Near Ambergris Caye,barrier and patch reefs along the coast experienced up to 50% bleaching. At Mexico Rocks Patch Reef Complex (MRPRC), important changes in reef health, community and physical structure occurred, probably owing to the 1995 bleaching event. During the years 1988-1993, 23 patch reefs of the MRPRC were mapped, geologically analyzed, and ecologically surveyed. The zone was characterized ecologically and taxonomically as a stony, head coral complex. MRPRC consisted of 83% healthy, well-colored, framework-building head corals. Other reef-building taxa and reef dwelling, invertebrate taxa were of secondary importance. During this interval, the MRPRC exhibited 24% degradation of reef surfaces and 5.3% cavity development. 22 of the MRPRC patches were resurveyed in March 1996, after the bleaching event. Less than 1% of the complex is currently experiencing bleaching. Comparison of the pre- and post-bleaching degradation values indicates that degradation increased and coral cover decreased 13%, indicating high coral mortality. The secondary disturbances that can follow coral mortality associated with a bleaching event are present in the complex, including an increase in algal cover and subsequent herbivory that erodes the reef framework. The full impact of this bleaching event may not be concluded for years, and may have implications for interpretation of reefs in the fossil record. --=====================_854061336==_-- From hendee@aoml.noaa.gov Fri Mar 4 06:38:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: from hugo.aoml.noaa.gov (firewall-user@hugo [172.16.100.247]) by aoml.noaa.gov (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id GAA18046 for ; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 06:38:04 -0500 (EST) Received: by hugo.aoml.noaa.gov; id AA11976; Tue, 4 Mar 97 06:39:06 EST Received: from admin1.bc.edu(136.167.2.103) by hugo.aoml.noaa.gov via smap (3.2) id xma011974; Tue, 4 Mar 97 06:38:52 -0500 Received: by admin1.bc.edu (AIX 3.2/UCB 5.64/4.03) id AA29619; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 10:38:23 GMT Received: from [192.115.229.4] by admin1.bc.edu (AIX 3.2/UCB 5.64/4.03) id AA30382; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 05:38:10 -0500 Received: (from uucp@localhost) by pappquds.papp.undp.org (8.7.5/96.03.01.0) with UUCP id LAA20547; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 11:32:33 +0200 (IST) Received: (from mralagha@localhost) by iugaza.edu (8.6.9/8.6.9) id MAA12140; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 12:16:21 +0200 Date: Tue, 4 Mar 1997 12:16:20 +0200 (IST) From: "Mohammad R.

We have prepared a simple evalution. We are using the Cintron's Manual (in spanish) of the WWF, with some modifications. We do not have the Survey Manual for Tropical Marine Resources. I hope you can send one. On the other hand, we are working with a specialist in coral reef in Venezuela, PhD Sheyla Marquez. She has suggested to adquire HOBBO's and other istruments to make the measures. Presently, we are looking for funds here, in Venezuela. I want to know if there is any international organization which wa nt to give us financing and advise. Additionally, we are working in a project about the socioeconomic causes affecting the biodiversity. I want to know if a Coral Reef Management Plan exists in Australia, and if so, which its standars are. Where can I find this information?

We have since used visual methods for censusing parrotfish and surgeonfish populations on the outer reef flats of Roatan, Honduras. We will be returning to Roatan this summer to continue our work. Comments would be appreciated! A NEW VISUAL CENSUSING TECHNIQUE FOR ENUMERATING LARGE, DAY ACTIVE REEF FISHES Philip Pepe (Phoenix College, Phoenix, AZ 85013 and Oceanic Society Expeditions, San Francisco, CA 94123), Nicole Crane (Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University, Pacific Grove, CA 93950 and Oceanic Society Expeditions, San Francisco, CA 94123), Geoff Stein, Monica Cervinek, Kevin Kittredge, Tasha Bair and Nancy Osborne (ReefWatch Volunteers) ABSTRACT The Kick Cycling Visual Technique (KCVT) for censusing fishes was developed and tested. The KCVT does not require the advance deployment of markers as does the Strip Transect Visual Technique STVT. Divers need only a compass and a slate to carry out a census and use a standard timed kick cycle method for estimating the distance covered while swimming along a compass heading. This is of great advantage when time is limited and the goal of a census is to visit multiple sites over large reef areas. The KCVT was used to census parrotfish and surgeonfish at four locations at the northwest end of Lighthouse Reef Atoll, Belize. All censusing was done in outer reef flat environments on the seaward side of the reef crest at depths of 30 to 45 feet. The census data was used to study the precision of the method. The Precision Statistic (P=SE/M) ranged from 10-26%. There is a strong similarity in the distribution of parrotfish and surgeonfish between sites. There were no significant differences between the KCVT surgeonfish censuses at all four sites (Kruskall-Wallis p=0.05). The sample distributions from three sites were not significantly different from one another in both parrotfish and surgeonfish (Kruskall-Wallis p=0.05). However the mean number of parrotfish was greater and significantly different at Lighthouse Wall (Kruskall-Wallis p=0.05). Paired STVT and KCVT censuses produced similar sample distributions at Manta Point. There was no significant difference between the STVT and KCVT data pairs (Mann-Whitney U Test, p=0.05). The results support the hypothesis that the KCVT provides a similar degree of accuracy and precision as the STVT for censusing large, day active reef fish.

In Hawaii, there has been a black coral fishery for about 38 years; it is well managed by virtue of size limits (4 feet minimum height for colonies of Antipathes grandis and Antipathes dichotoma) and an estimate of MSY that has never been exceeded. A model based on the Beverton-Holt yield recruit analysis was used to estimate MSY. It is an example that illustrates it is possible to harvest corals successfully. In contrast, the pink and red precious coral fishery in the North Pacific has not been well managed and is seriously over-exploited. Much of the resource is outside of 200 miles and regulation is virtually impossible. It is common property and another example of the tragedy of the commons.

I have just returned from Panama where I was doing field research for my master's thesis, and the locals there squirt Clorox into nooks and crannies in the reef to catch octopus. This is a relatively new method of catching a previously un-used species, but I can imagine it must be disastrous- and I'd like to know more about it.

If you find in the future that you are no longing receiving coral-list messages, it may be because of one of the reasons listed below. If this happens, just re-subscribe (you *did* keep that original message on subscribing and unsubscribing, didn't you?), or send me a message and I'll help out. If you didn't keep the original message, it is attached for your convenience. Reasons Your Name May Be Deleted ================================ 1) You changed email addresses and forgot to unsubscribe from coral-list using our old address, then re-subscribe using your new address. (Or, you forgot to notify me.) 2) Your mailbox is full, and messages to your account keep bouncing back to majordomo (the listserver software). I'll usually let this go for several days or a week before having to delete your name. 3) Your sytsem administrator changed your email address (or mail server), sometimes without you even knowing it. Therefore, messages sent to your old address keep bouncing. This usually comes back as a "host unknown" error. This may also occur if you change computers (hosts) you use for reading or sending your mail. 4) The network connection to your site is down so often that messages to you bounce more than they are delivered! 5) You somehow re-subscribed with a bogus address (like "@somewhere.com", instead of "your_name@somewhere.com"). I'm not sure exactly how this happens, but it occasionally does. I believe it is related to the mail software used by the client (you). 6) "Local configuration error". This is a catch-all for several different problems, usually your mail software is configured incorrectly. Thank you very much for your patience.
