18-13 Response Of High Latitude Hermatypic Coral To The Rising Sea Water Temperature At Daya Bay, South China's Guangdong Province Hui HUANG* 1 , Jiansheng LIAN 1 , Jianhui YANG 2 , Xiubao LI 1 1 LMB, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou, China, People's Republic of, 2 South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou, China, People's Republic of Daya Bay is a semi-enclosed subtropical bay located in the southeast of the south China's Guangdong Province. Its latitude is 22.5°N-22.9°N, covering an area of about 550 km 2 . The water exchange with the ocean is low and the residence time of seawater is about 1 or 2 months. Two Nuclear Power Stations, situated in the mid-part of west coast of the bay, began in commercial operation in the 1994 and 2003 respectively. The cooling water plume flows into the bay and accumulatively elevates the sea water temperature of the bay by about 1.1 degree Celsius, which is about the temperature rise of IPCC 2007's projection for 2050. This provides a unique "in situ experiments" to explore the response of hermatypic coral to the rising sea water temperature. Change of temperature scheme is very sensitive because the distribution of hermatypic corals in Daya Bay is near their north limit. The percent cover and community structure of hermatypic corals in Daya Bay was surveyed using line transect methods in 2007. Comparing the historical survey records in 1983~84, 1991, and 2002, a great change was observed. The live coral cover was 70% in 1983~84, then stabilized at ~30% after 1991, and slightly increase to 33~35% after 2005. The dominant species was Acropora spp. in 1983~84 and theretofore, which was replaced by Favia spp. after 1991. The percent cover of Acropora spp. and the total species number was also increased after 2005. The annual growth rates were estimated using X-radiography technique with coral samples of Porites lutea. We found that the growth rates of the coral influenced by the cooling water were 0.8mm/a greater than those unaffected. Our results suggested that increasing sea water temperature may favor the growth and development of hermatypic corals in high latitude area like Daya Bay. 18-14 A Ten-Year Study On Dynamical Structure Of A Sub-Tropical Coral Community in Hong Kong Sar, China Tze-wai TAM* 1 , Put O. ANG 1 1 Marine Science Laboratory, Department of Biology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong A long term monitoring programme of a sub-tropical coral community has been set up in A Ma Wan, Tung Ping Chau Marine Park, Hong Kong and has been on going since May 1997 with nine fixed position 40 m long transects and 0.5 m x 0.5 m permanent quadrats laid at every 5 m interval along each transect. The study is to provide the first-hand information for understanding the natural variation of Hong Kong corals towards physical disturbances and to serve as an important baseline for objective assessment of human impacts on the local coral communities. At the beginning of the study, a total of 40 scleractinian coral species from 20 genera (12 families) was recorded. Over the tenyear study (1997 - 2006), the coral community was subject to repeated physical disturbances caused by tropical cyclones. Within the period from 1997 to 1999, the site experienced the highest frequency of severe tropical cyclones and the strongest cyclone to hit Hong Kong in the last 23 years (1984 - 2006). The coral cover was reduced significantly after the cyclone impacts and the community never recovered to its original state ever since. Cyphastrea serailia, Goniopora lobata, Montipora peltiformis and Pavona decussata were the dominant species most highly affected by the cyclone impacts. Significant shift in the coral community structure from Platygyra-Goniopora dominant community to Pavona-Platygyra dominant community was also observed after the cyclone impacts. Overall, the coral community was relatively stable and resistant towards short-term but not long-term repeated disturbances. The community may also have low resilience towards more severe disturbances in the future. Preserving the resilience of coral communities/species in Tung Ping Chau should be one of the main goals of coral conservation strategies for the island marine park. Oral Mini-Symposium 18: Reef Status and Trends 18-15 Decadal Scale Changes in Coral Reefs in Quintana Roo, Mexico Thaddeus NICHOLLS* 1 , W. David LIDDELL 1 1 Geology, Utah State University, Logan, UT The east coast of Quintana Roo, Mexico is bordered by the barrier-fringing reefs of the Mesoamerican reef system. Spanning over 1126 km from the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula south to the Bay Islands off the Honduran coast, this reef system is the largest in the Atlantic, and the second largest in the world. The Caribbean coast of Quintana Roo was covered by semi-humid tropical rainforest until 1970, when coastal development including road and resort construction broke ground. Sixty percent of this area had been cleared by 1988 for the “megaproject” known as the “Cancun-Tulum Touristic Corridor,” or “Mayan Riviera.” The long term impact of this development on the coral reefs of this area had not been quantified. In 1992 data on community composition were collected from two areas, Akumal and Chemuyil, ranging from 4.8-33.5m depth. These areas were revisited in 2005 and data were collected in the same fashion and at the same depths as in 1922 to determine if coastal development has had a significant impact on the coastal reefs. Chi squared analysis determined that the community composition data collected in 1992 are significantly different from those data collected in 2005 (alpha value 0.05). Coral cover in Chemuyil at 33.5m declined from 44.1% to 33.3%. Algae (including macro algae, filamentous algae, and erect coralline algae) coverage at the same site increased from 29.1% to 46.7%. Similar trends are observed at accompanying sites. Anecdotal accounts suggest that the trends exhibited by the reefs are due to nutrification by septic water flowing through the highly porous karst limestone of the Yucatan Peninsula since there were few signs of damage to the reefs other than a very high percentage of algae coverage. Furthermore, fish populations appeared to be relatively healthy. 18-16 pocillopora Recovery At Devil’s Crown, Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, Following Extirpation Associated With The 1982-83 El Niño-Southern Oscillation Joshua FEINGOLD* 1 , Peter GLYNN 2 1 National Coral Reef Institute, Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 2 Department of Marine Biology and Fisheries, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami, Miami, FL In 1982-83 a severe El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event killed 95% of the scleractinian corals in the Galápagos archipelago. Over 99% coral mortality occurred at the Devil’s Crown study site located within the flooded (2-4m depth) center of a small (156 x 100m), emergent, dormant volcanic cone off the north coast of Floreana Island. Also at this site, a structural reef composed primarily of the branching coral Pocillopora spp. was lost from contrary wave action combined with primary and secondary biological disturbances associated with ENSO. For the subsequent 11 years Pocillopora was not observed there, however 5 colonies were seen in May, 1995. Since then the number and size of colonies were monitored approximately annually. Coral colony surface areas were determined following two methods: direct measure during snorkel surveys to determine maximum width and length (1995-2003), and digital photography to obtain 2-D images (2004 & 2007). These images were converted to projected surface area using the program CPCe. The numbers of Pocillopora colonies increased from 5 in 1995 to 154 in 2007, with total colony surface area increasing from 849 cm2 to 37,772 cm2 (3.8m2) over the same period. Colonies initially appeared via sexual recruitment, probably from source populations located upcurrent, and now larger colonies are fragmenting and forming localized aggregations. This long term (25y) monitoring reveals slow initial recruitment from 1995 to 2002 followed by recent accelerated increases in Pocillopora colony number and surface area. This suggests that Pocillopora may once again attain population densities sufficient to form reef structures, an unusual prospect considering the widespread reports of coral loss worldwide. 153
18-17 Status Of The Mesoamerican Reef System Miguel GARCIA SALGADO 1 , Marydelene VASQUEZ 1 , Gabriela NAVA MARTÍNEZ* 2 , Noel JACOBS 3 1 MBRS project, Belize City, Belize, 2 Oceanus, A.C., Chetumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico, 3 MBRS project, Belize city, Belize A synoptic monitoring program was established in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (MBRS) region since 2004, with the objective of gather information about the status of the reef ecosystems and other associated ecosystems such as seagrasses and mangroves. This MBRS project comprises a four countries initiative: Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras. The establishment, operation and maintenance of this environmental monitoring program in the long term will provide a synoptic vision of de MBRS health. At the same time, a Regional Environmental Information System was created and uploaded to the www to facilitate the capture of the data on line and results analysis information in the regional level. The information generated allowed the establishment of a baseline with data from 2004- 2005.For Coral Reef Ecosystem, the MBRS region has an average of 23.47% live coral cover, and 35.38% of algal cover for the region. The main live components (sponges, octocorals, stony corals, encrusting coralline algae and Millepora) were compared to algae in order to develop a baseline that can be used by later studies to determine any trends in change to the benthic reef community. The baseline mean ratio of MLC to algae in the MBRS region was of 1.19 meaning that typical reefs in this region are not overrun with algae. This information is now analyzed in a temporal trend at each site to determine changes in the Mesoamerican Reef. This tool has been useful for comparisons of impacts from human activities and natural disasters that influence directly in the sustainable use and conservation of the MBRS. 18-18 The Decline Of Crinoids On The Reefs Of Curaçao And Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles David L. MEYER* 1 , Elizabeth A. DAME 1,2 , Peter B. LASK 1 1 Geology, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, 2 Geology, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Comatulid crinoids were abundant on the leeward fringing reefs of Curaçao and Bonaire until the 1990s, but since 1996 have declined drastically in population size and diversity. Prior to this decline, five species inhabited the forereef slope from depths of 6 to over 30 m: Nemaster grandis, Davidaster rubiginosa, D. discoidea, an undescribed species of Davidaster, and Ctenantedon kinziei. Of these, D. rubiginosa and D. n. sp. were common along the edge of the forereef slope from about 6 to 15 m depth, and D. discoidea was common below about 15 m. N. grandis and C. kinziei were found in lower abundance at about 30 m depth. Transect data from Bonaire showed that a drastic decline in numbers of the Davidaster taxa occurred between 1989 and 1996. Transects in Curaçao in the late 1990s through 2001 documented a similar decline. In 2007, transects following the AGRRA protocol in Curaçao showed that sites where species of Davidaster were formerly common are now practically devoid of crinoids. In particular, D. discoidea, once the most numerous crinoid in these islands, has all but disappeared. The cause of this decline is unknown. It is noteworthy that the decline affected both Bonaire and Curaçao, even though Bonaire has about one-tenth the human population of Curaçao, very little industrialization, and protected reefs, while a much higher level of development impacts the reefs of Curaçao. It is possible that heating associated with the severe coral bleaching event of 1995 also affected the crinoids. As far as we are aware, reef crinoid populations elsewhere in the western Atlantic region have not shown a similar decline. However, the loss of these passive suspension-feeding echinoderms from one of the centers of high reef diversity of the region is a cause for concern and requires ongoing monitoring.

Since 2002 the Ministry of Environment is funding an initiative to monitor Brazilian coral reefs using a methodology compatible with the global protocol Reef Check. Between 2002 and 2007, surveys were conducted in eight representative regions of Brazilian reefs, between latitudes 3° and 18°S, including reefs inside protected areas of both full protection (4) and sustainable use (5) categories as well as areas of general use (2) or protected areas with no enforcement (1). Those included coastal reefs, shelf reefs and reefs in oceanic waters. Analysis of data indicated that fishery indicators at all trophic levels are significantly more abundant on fully protected areas (no fishing). Sustainable use areas were no different of general use or protected areas without enforcement, except those that include special no take zones. Fishing has moved down the food chain and impacts are no longer restricted to large predatory groups (serranids, lutjanids and sharks) with larger scale fisheries now also directed to herbivorous fishes (scarids and acanthurids) as well as Haemulids. Within each region, abundance of indicators was related to fishing pressure directed over the specific resource. Higher hard coral cover was inversely related to land based pressures, mostly sedimentation, regardless of coral diversity or species composition. Low proportion large scale bleaching, across 2000 kms, was detected twice, in 2003 and 2005, with low effect on the apparently resilient Brazilian coral reef fauna. Conservation and recovery of Brazilian coral reefs depend on effective fishing regulation as well as protected areas establishment/ enforcement, but, in the case of the extensive coastal reef formations, also on coastal and riparian recovery and protection. 18-20 Long-Term Changes in Taxonomic Distinctness And Trophic Structure Of The Reef Fishes At Cabo Pulmo Reef, Gulf Of California Hector REYES-BONILLA* 1 , Lorenzo ALVAREZ-FILIP 2 1 Departamento de Biología Marina, Universidad Autonoma de Baja California Sur, La Paz, Mexico, 2 School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, United Kingdom Cabo Pulmo is the most septentrional coral reef in the Tropical Eastern Pacific, and although many aspects of the reef have been described, there is a lack of the temporal studies that addresses the change that this marginal ecosystem has suffered in the last decades. In this context the present study evaluates the changes in community structure and average trophic level of the 13 most important reef families, from 1987 to 2006. In this period the reef has suffered several perturbations, such as ENSO events, hurricanes strikes and the increase of the coastal development, and at the same time the efforts for its protection has increased as the area was declared a National Park in 1995. In each year we performed at least 18 stationary censuses in observation cylinders of 5 m radius, and calculated the taxonomic distinctness index as well as the trophic level. The results show that community composition did not differ between seasons (warm and cold), in clear contrast to what occurs in other areas of the Gulf of California. However, when the comparison was made among years, the ordination analysis shows that ichtyofaunal composition differs between 1987 and the rest of surveys. The taxonomic distinctness gradually declined between 1987 and 2006 but at the same time, the trophic level of the assemblages increased through the years. In conclusion these results suggest that the establishment of the National Park might have had a positive effect on the fish community, as shown by the increase in the trophic level. However the simultaneous decrease in taxonomic distinctness probably indicates that a large number of carnivores has depleted the abundance of herbivores and omnivores; this way, the conservation efforts have reached a goal but at the same time produced unexpected consequences in the ecological function of the area. 154
