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.

This institution will belong to the Department. It aims to better understand the nature of the groundwater crisis in the area. Also, it will help to establish a monitoring system for the groundwater, and to find a sustainable program for groundwater management and protection. It will help in training of the undergraduate students and to hold traianing courses to engineers, technisans and other people intetsted in such issues. The total costs of the proposal are about 500,000 US$. Now we are seeking funding for such strategic project which will serve the community in protecting its natural water resources and to establish future policies for groundwater abstraction, recharge and discharge. We call the international Aid Agencies, Environmnetal Agencies, Groundwater Agencies, The Health Agenceis,Charities and others to support such project which will be of Great Benifit to the Palestinian Society in the Gaza Strip. The project could be supported by the cooperation between several aid agencies, companies, associations and even individuals who are interseting on environmnetal and health issues.

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. What is needed are multi-lateral treaties among countries that exploit the resource (Japan and Taiwan and the US). See my paper for more details.

Message-ID: >From time to time I unfortunately have to delete names from coral-list because of several email/Internet related problems. 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 at 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. Sincerely yours, Jim Hendee coral-list administrator -------------- next part -------------- Welcome to the Coral Health and Monitoring List-Server! The purpose of the Coral Health and Monitoring list-server is to provide a forum for Internet discussions and announcements among coral health researchers pertaining to coral reef health and monitoring throughout the world. The list is primarily for use by coral health researchers and scientists. Currently, about 800 researchers are subscribed to the list. Appropriate subjects for discussion might include: o bleaching events o outbreaks of coral diseases o high predation on coral reefs o environmental monitoring sites o incidences of coral spawnings o shipwrecks on reefs o international meetings and symposia o funding opportunities o marine sanctuary news o new coral-related publications o announcements of college courses in coral reef ecology o coral health initiatives o new and historical data availability o controversial topics in coral reef ecology o recent reports on coral research -- To Subscribe to the List -- Since you just got this message, you are already subscribed to the list! However, if you wish to instruct others how to subscribe to the list, have them send e-mail to majordomo at coral.aoml.noaa.gov, with the following message (only!) in the body of the text: subscribe coral-list -- To Un-Subscribe from the List -- To un-subscribe from the list, send e-mail to majordomo at coral.aoml.noaa.gov, with the following message (only!) in the body of the text: unsubscribe coral-list "Your Name" -- To Post a Comment or Announcement -- To post a message to the list, simply address your comments or announcements to coral-list at coral.aoml.noaa.gov. The message will be circulated to all members of the list. The members may respond to you directly, or post their comments to the list for all to read. -- Help -- To see a list of the functions and services available from the list-server, send an e-mail message to majordomo at coral.aoml.noaa.gov, with the following message (only!) in the body of the text: help -- Other Coral Health Related Information -- The Coral Health and Monitoring Program (CHAMP) has a World-Wide Web Home Page at the following URL: http://coral.aoml.noaa.gov -- Add your name to the Coral Researchers Directory! -- After you read this message, you may wish to add your name to the Coral Researchers Directory. To do so, send the following information to lagoon at coral.aoml.noaa.gov, with your name (Last Name, First Name) in the Subject: line of your message: Name: (How you'd like it to appear, e.g., Vice Pres. Al Gore) Title: Institution: (or N/A) Address Line 1: Address Line 2: Address Line 3: City: State or Province: Country: Business Phone: Business Fax: E-mail: Other info: (Add up to, say, 20 lines, if you'd like.) -- Etiquette -- 1) When responding to a posting to the list, do not respond *back* to the entire list unless you feel it is an answer everyone can benefit from. I think this is usually the case, but responses such as, "Yeah, tell me, too!" to the entire list will make you unpopular in a hurry. Double-check your "To: " line before sending. 2) Do not "flame" (i.e., scold) colleagues via the coral-list. If you feel compelled to chastise someone, please send them mail directly and flame away. 3) Please conduct as much preliminary research into a topic as possible before posting a query to the list. (In other words, you shouldn't expect others to do your research for you.) Please consider: o Your librarian (an extremely valuable resource) o The CHAMP Literature Abstracts area at the CHAMP Web: o The CHAMP Online Researcher's Directory (i.e., search for your topic, ask the experts directly) o The CHAMP (and other) Web sites' links page(s) But please *do* avail yourself of the list when you've exhausted other sources. 4) Please see the CHAMP pages for employment related issues instead of posting job requests to coral-list. 5) Please carefully consider the purpose of the coral-list before posting a message. This is a forum comprised primarily of researchers who devote major portions of their work time to the study of corals or coral-related issues. 6) Succinct postings are greatly appreciated by all. -- Problems -- If you have any problems concerning the list, please feel free to drop a line to: hendee at aoml.noaa.gov. We hope you enjoy the list!

THE LOCATION Ustica is a small island in the middle of the southern Thyrrenian Sea, at around 30 miles from Palermo. The Riserva Naturale Marina Isola di Ustica, settled in 1985, is the first Marine Park in Italy. Very well known amongst scuba divers, its main features are the submerged rocky cliffs, very crowded with fish. The grouper Epinephelus marginatus, nowadays rare in most of the Mediterranean, is quite common here. Ustica is connected twice a day with Palermo by ferry boat or hovercraft. Palermo is connected daily with all the main Italian airports. At the end of june the weather is usually fine and dry. Air temperature range between 24 and 30?C. Water temperature is around 24?C at the surface, 16?C below 15 m depth. On the island it is possible to find accommodation in various hotels. The average rate for a 3 star hotel is around 50 USD for a double room without breakfast.

My students and I have recently been working on the effects on corals and coral community structure of aereal exposures during extreme low tides in the Colombian Pacific. We are trying to obtain background information on the subject, but have found very little, even after a search in Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts from 1988 to 1995. From general books it appears that this phenomenon is rather frequent in the Indo-Pacific, however, we have not found studies on the impact of these events on coral communities. I would greatly appreciate receiving any information that you might have on the subject, particularly references to previous work. Reprints would be particularly appreciated since here in Colombia we do not have a good library system. Thanks for any help, Fernando A.

Youll find that most of the data is qualitative or pre- and post-storm surveys of small areas. After 12 years, David Stoddart's appeal for systematic, multiscale investigations of hurricane effects has gone largely unheeded. One reason for this is perhaps demography: severe hurricanes are uncommon in areas with high densities of marine biologists. But I think that the greatest obstacle to a better understanding of the biological effects of storms has been a reluctance to learn the meteorology, wave modelling, physics, etc. I think the best work in this direction is by Terry Done and colleagues (Done, various years; Massel and Done 1993; Done and Potts).

From tempera at dop.uac.pt Mon Mar 24 11:51:57 1997 From: tempera at dop.uac.pt (Fernando Tempera) Date: Mon, 24 Mar 1997 16:51:57 GMT Subject: underwater tape recorder Message-ID: <199703241651.QAA13200@dop.uac.pt> Hi there, I am a Portuguese student of Marine Biology from the University of Lisbon (Portugal). At the moment I am preparing the field work for my graduation thesis, which will focus on the fish assemblages occuring in five small marine areas (interesting for conservation) located in the archipelago of the Azores. After reading several articles related to methods of recording the information (species, number, size and sex of fishes observed) underwater I became very interested in using an Underwater Tape Recorder (UTR). The problem is I cannot find any reference to where I could buy such device, how much it presently costs, which kind of breathing apparatus it requires, etc. I have already tried several search engines in the internet and already contacted the authors of the articles where such device is used. However, till now I didn?t manage to get much information. So if any of you have any information you find useful to me please let me know. Besides this "commercial" problem I would also like hear from those of you who have already used such device. Please tell me about some good/bad experiences, recomendations, alerts, etc. I will begin my field work within a couple of months so I do not have plenty of time to get the (UTR). I would be very thankful if any of you would be so kind to answer me as soon as possible, sending me as much information as you can. Thanks in advance.

It uses the same mouth piece and microphone, but instead of a transceiver in an underwater housing it comes with a tape recorder in a housing. I've had good luck with the commercial version of the system Ken described. Mark -------------------------------------- Date: 3/26/97 12:54 PM To: Mark Eakin From: KENNARD POTTS I recently purchased a system from "Ocean Technology Systems" (OTS). It is called the "Buddy Phone". All you do is take off the mouth piece from your second stage and replace it with the special buddy phone mouth cup which contains a microphone. You will also need the surface unit. This is a multi channel portable surface station. The station has a female RCA receptable, for connection to any type of recording system. It has a "Mic Level" output. Each diver unit has ear phone and microphone and runs for about $400-$600 (US dollars) The surface unit about $1,000 (US Dollars) System is called the Buddy Phone STX-100. You can also use the Aquacom (SSB-2001) single sideband acoustic telephone if you are using full face AGA masks. I have had great luck with these units. Ocean Technology Systems are in Costa Mesa California, USA. Phone: (714) 754-7848 FAX: (714) 966-1639 They may have distributors in Europe, but I do not know them. They may even have a web site.
