LIST OF CORDIO PROJECTS 1999 – 89 –
East African Region Regional co-ordinator: Dr David Obura Institute: CORDIO East Africa KENYA Country co-ordinator: Dr N. H. Muthiga Institute: Kenya Wildlife Service, Mombasa 1. Annual monitoring of the impacts of the 1998 El Niño on coral reef community structure in Kenya This activity will extend existing annual monitoring of coral reefs in Kenya to deeper reefs, through training and supporting protected area rangers in the Kenya Wildlife Service. The Kiunga Marine Reserve was completed in March 1999, with five other sites to be surveyed later in the year. Monitoring of shallow lagoonal patch reefs has been undertaken for over 15 years by the Coral Reef Conservation Project (T. McClanahan), and of some deeper reefs for 6 years (D. Obura). This information will be summarized as baseline data for CORDIO. Co-ordinator: Dr N. H. Muthiga Institute: Kenya Wildlife Service 2. Investigation of the effects of the 1998 El Niñorelated coral bleaching on bio-physical and fisheries aspects of Kenyan coral reefs Four projects have been proposed by KMFRI scientists for funding by CORDIO, focusing on various aspects of the coral reef physical and biological environment. The projects have been organized as a group proposal to a) provide a comprehensive description of physical, biological and resource use dynamics of a typical Kenyan coral reef lagoon and fringing reef (Mombasa), and b) build on past group projects conducted by KMFRI in Mombasa, Watamu and Gazi-Shirazi. Co-ordinator: Mr David Kirugara Institute: Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) Project 1. Physical – Ultraviolet and temperature interactions This study will investigate annual patterns of UVradiation and temperature as they change with water transport over the fore reef and lagoon areas of a typical fringing reef in Kenya. Researcher: D. Kirugara Project 2. Biological – Zooxanthellae and chlorophyll dynamics The objective of this study is to improve knowledge of zooxanthellae and chlorophyll concentrations and how they change with bleaching. This projected is also intended to develop an indicator for assessing bleaching status and coral health. Researchers: R. Mdodo & P. Wawiye Project 3. Biological – Bioerosion and algal succession Algal succession patterns and bioerosion of coral reef – 90 –
