18-29 Extent And Timing Of Disturbances: Comparison Between Australia’s Great Barrier Reef And The Caribbean Region Hugh SWEATMAN* 1 1 Australian Institute of Marine Science, Townsville, Qld 4810, Australia Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR) province and the greater Caribbean region include similar areas of coral reef. In recent decades, the major cause of losses of coral cover on the GBR has been Acanthaster planci, the crown-of-thorns starfish. Three welldocumented waves of outbreaks have passed southwards along the central GBR in the past 40 years, with an independent pattern of outbreaks on the Swain Reefs in the south and less-well documented waves of outbreaks travelling northward in the remote northern region. At any point in time, 1-3 discreet regions are affected, each adjoining areas where the reefs are recovering or are yet to be affected. Published reports from the Caribbean suggest that impacts on coral in the Caribbean, notably coral diseases, are much more widespread at any time. One salient example is the fatal disease of Diadema that spread through the entire region in 1983 and 1984. Such differences in the extent and timing of major disturbances may influence replenishment and hence the processes of recovery. 18-30 Patterns Of Reef Fish Utilization And The Consequence Of Human Population Growth On Fish Density And Community Composition in American Samoa Marlowe SABATER* 1 1 Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources, American Samoa Government, Pago Pago, American Samoa Long-term time-series data from fishery-independent underwater surveys and fisherydependent surveys were examined and analyzed alongside prehistoric and current utilization patterns of reef fish populations in order to assess the status of coral reef fish populations and the fishery. Underwater surveys showed overall density of coral reef fish has been increasing over the past three decades due largely to a significant increase in parrotfish populations. Concurrent with this increase in fish density was a significant decrease in subsistence fishing effort and a non-significant decrease in commercial effort over time. Catch landings showed no long-term trend with highs recorded from 1994- 2001 and lows prior to and after these years. Rapid population growth on the main island of Tutuila is seen as a threat to coral reef resources. One major impact that is often assumed is that increases in human population will lead to increases in fishing pressure. However, despite the rapid significant increase in human population on Tutuila, fishing effort has continually decreased over the last three decades. Population growth had a negative relationship with fishing effort (subsistence and commercial) due possibly to the society’s shift from subsistence to a cash-based economy since the early 1900’s. Present catch composition and reef fish assemblage is statistically similar to prehistoric periods dating 1500-3000 years ago. Recent interviews of 425 respondents in Tutuila has shown preference for surgeonfish, groupers, squirrelfish, and parrotfish which again follows the same proportion as the prehistoric records and significantly correlates with the present day fish assemblage. This preference may have existed since prehistoric times despite advances in fishing technology or may have been driven by what was abundant and easily available in the fishery. These findings indicate that the fishery was sustainable from the prehistoric times and the fish population shows signs of improvement in the recent past. Oral Mini-Symposium 18: Reef Status and Trends 18-31 Ten Years Of Volunteer Science Gregor HODGSON* 1 , Cori KANE 1 , Craig SHUMAN 1 1 Reef Check Foundation, Pacific Palisades, CA In 1997, Reef Check began as the first attempt to survey the world’s coral reefs using a standard method, carried out by volunteer recreational divers trained and led by marine biologists. Reef Check has expanded into an international non-profit organization, the Reef Check Foundation, with thousands of volunteers in 90 countries and territories and with a mission of protection and rehabilitation of reefs (including temperate reef ecosystems in California). The initial assumption was that trained volunteers could collect reliable data and catalyze marine conservation activities. The ten-year coral reef database shows that overfishing remains the most important problem affecting coral reefs, with most high-value indicator species missing from most coral reefs. The results show that on a global scale, both reef corals and reef fish are relatively resistant to perturbation from bleaching events and recovered during the period. The rapid declines in coral reefs during the 1980s and 1990s have not continued. Numerous conservation projects have been triggered by the actions of volunteer Reef Check teams in all tropical seas including the creation and improvement of several Marine Protected Areas. By involving recreational divers in scientific monitoring, Reef Check has helped build a better educated constituency that will support coral reef conservation activities throughout the world. 18-32 The Response Of Caribbean Coral Reefs To Repeated Stress Events. Loureene JONES* 1 1 Integrated Watersheds and Coastal Zone Management Branch, National Environment and Planning Agency, Kingston 5, Jamaica In recent times, coastal ecosystems and specifically coral reefs have been experiencing varying degrees of stress from several sources. The incidence of natural phenomenons such as hurricanes and bleaching events has increased to the point where one or both of these events are guaranteed to occur annually. Coupled with terreginous run-off and poorly planned coastal developments, the reefs of the region are constantly bombarded with less than ideal conditions. At present coral cover is still low at most sites assessed and has been for a long while. In Jamaica Reef Check assessments indicated coverage ranging between 2% and 37% were recorded between 2001 and 2006. Results from bleaching assessments conducted during and after the 2005 event depicted up to 75% bleaching in some countries and varied levels of recovery. Data from long-term monitoring sites in Jamaica also produced results, which indicate that the reefs are to an extent able to survive and recover from the stress events. Given the increased frequency of stress events it is still unsure what level of recovery will be realized and the duration. 157
18-33 Agrra Data Can Distinguish Chronic From Acute Impacts To Wider Caribbean Reef Communities And Provide Baselines To Assess Future Changes Robert GINSBURG 1,2 , Philip KRAMER 3 , Judith LANG 2,4 , Kenneth MARKS* 2,5 , Patricia RICHARDS KRAMER 6 , Robert STENECK 7 1 Marine Geology & Geophysics, RSMAS, <strong>University</strong> of Miami, Miami, FL, 2 Ocean Research and Education Foundation, Coral Gables, 3 The Nature Conservancy, Sugarloaf Key, FL, 4 Independent, Ophelia, VA, 5 Independent, Boca Raton, FL, 6 Perigee Environmental, Big Pine Key, FL, 7 School of Marine Sciences, Darling Marine Center, <strong>University</strong> of Maine, Walpole, ME Standardised AGRRA coral health indicators (e.g., >5% recent mortality of outer colony surfaces) have quantified the immediate impacts of acute perturbations like mass bleaching and outbreaks of disease. The program’s reef-community condition indicators (e.g., old mortality of coral colony surfaces, live coral cover, abundance of benthic algae, AGRRA fish data) have assessed the effects of chronic stressors acting on longer (multimonths to multi-annual) time scales. Collectively the AGRRA data are a regional baseline of reef community status for the early 21st Century against which future changes can be compared. This baseline augments previous evidence for widespread reef decline at
