Subject: drupella scars
I have something that still confusing me. Could we distinguish a scar made
by Drupella cornus or Acanthaster or other animals? I got a statement from
Forde (1992) cited in Turner (1994)(Coral Reefs, 13: 41-48: Spatial
variablity in the abundance of the coralliovorous gastropod Drupella cornus)
where the highest diversity of D. cornus is in damaged corals. How could it
be? since they have to find polyps for diet.
Thank you in advance.

The Economic Importance of Coral Reefs
HP Vogt* and A. White**
e-mail: *HP_Vogt at compuserve.com, **awhite at mozcom.com
For centuries healthy coral reefs have provided the livelihood of numerous
fishermen and formed the backbone of the local economies. More recently, th=
e
beauty of the reefs has attracted large numbers tourists. The worlds larges=
t
industry =AD tourism is promoting reef areas specifically for expensive SCUBA
dive vacations. The economies of some countries have become dependent on th=
e
lucrative long-haul traveller market. Coral reefs provide further economic
benefits such as free protection of the coastline from storms and erosion.
Despite the economic importance of coral reefs, human activities such as
over-exploitation and destructive fishing methods are continuing to affect
the economic value of reefs. In some areas, such practice has caused catche=
s
to fall well below the sustainable levels of healthy reefs. As a consequenc=
e
subsistence fishermen may no longer be able to depend on reefs as the only
source of income.=20
A considerable segment of the dive industry is also dependent on healthy an=
d
attractive coral reefs. However, human activities as well as widespread
coral bleaching have severely affected large reef areas. This may result in
reduced income generated by reef tourism.
This mini-symposium focuses on assessments of the economic benefits of cora=
l
reefs as well as the financial losses caused by reef destruction. More
specifically, potential contributors are invited to present papers on the
following issues:
- - Introduction of models for reef value assessments
- - Case studies of reef value assessments for specific geographic locations
- - What is the financial loss caused by reef destruction?
- - What are the economic incentives for sustainable reef management?
- - Is reef management cost effective?
Any other contributions that fit the general topic of this mini-symposium
are also welcome.

Chris Landgon and I are chairing Session E1 at the 9th ICRS entitled:
"Global Climate Change and Coral Reefs, 1. The Science behind the
Prognostications of Gloom and Effects of CO2 on Calcification"
Although this session will deal mainly with aspects of the effects
of increased atmospheric CO2 on coral reefs, and particularly on
coral reef calcification, please consider submitting your abstract to
this session if it addresses any of the following issues:
The aragonite saturation issue:
* Geological scale variations in CO2 as driving force for reef calcification
* Evidence for reduced calcification in the 20th Century.
* Natural buffering in shelf and ocean waters
* The synergy between increased temperature and atmospheric CO2
and also:
* What causes corals to bleach and die?
* What is the scope for adaptation or aclimatization?
* What are the evolutionary genetics and environmental stresses?
Abstracts should be sent both to me (kleypas at ucar.edu) and to David
Hopley, the Scientific Program Chair (David.Hopley at ultra.net.au)

Mini-symposium Abstract
The processes governing the population and community dynamics of coral
reef organisms encompass a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. For
example, larval supply, settlement, and post-settlement mortality all
influence recruitment to coral reefs. These biological processes are, in
turn, influenced by oceanic-scale currents, regional-scale circulation,
coastal environmental variation as well as by local variation in
microhabitat availability and biotic interactions. Likewise, species
richness on coral reefs is controlled by regional TECO (tectonic,
eustatic, climatic, and oceanographic) processes, evolutionary history,
and local environmental variables (e.g., habitat, depth, biotic
interactions). Thus a balanced understanding of coral reef ecology
requires that we integrate processes across these multiple scales.
This mini-symposium aims to draw participants interested in the relative
importance and linkage of local and large-scale processes on the dynamics
of populations or communities on coral reefs. The scope is broad so as to
include all major taxa (reef invertebrates, vertebrates, and algae). It is
hoped that the mini-symposium will stimulate interaction between
researchers investigating large scale-dependent processes (e.g., larval
entrainment in coastal and oceanic currents) and those exploring smaller
scale variation in population and community structure. Where appropriate,
participants are encouraged to consider the implications of their results
for the functioning of coral reefs (e.g. creation of sand and other
building materials, coastal protection, fisheries productivity,maintenance
of biodiversity).

I just found an interesting paper on the subject that I'm sure you're
familiar with (two of the authors are in your department) but that others
on this list might find illuminating:
Videler, H., Geertjes, G. J. & Videler, J. J. (1999) Biochemical
characteristics and antibiotic properties of the mucous envelope of the
queen parrotfish. Journal of Fish Biology 54:1124-1127.
Biochemistry is far from my fields of specialization, but the take-home
(that the mucus envelopes have antibiotic properties) is interesting.

taxonomists! It is clear that coral taxonomists don't necessarily agree
among themselves on some details, so how can anyone reasonably base an
enforcement decision on taxonomy?
I think this would be a worthwhile subject to address at the ICRS in Bali.
For what it's worth, I propose that situations like the one described below
should be resolved in the following manner:
1. The F&W officer notes a difference between his/her opinion of the coral
ID and the name listed on the cites document.
2. The F&W officer corrects the name, notifies the importer.
3. One says thank you the other have a nice day.
Perhaps someone in the list believes an administrative penalty should be
assessed or something. Why? The agent importing corals has requested a
certain number of a named species. The exporter has shipped that exact
number of what he believes is that species. No one is attempting to break
the law. I believe that the need to "enforce" in this situation completely
misses the intent of CITES.
Here is the message I recieived on another list-
I'm wondering if anyone out there has info about the publication in
which Trachyphyllia and Wellsophyllia have been synonimized. Julian's
new book mentions this, and gives two citations. Anybody know about
this? The reason I'm asking is because I just received 24 of what I
would call Trachyphyllia with fused adjacent valleys. USF&G seized
these because they think they are Wellsophyllia, but they were labeled
on the permits as Trachyphyllia.
Thanks,
Bart.

Mini-symposium Abstract
Coral reefs are still widely perceived as benthic ecosystems, with
trophodynamics virtually independent of the plankton. Little is known of
planktonic processes in coral reef waters. This knowledge is urgently=
required
in order to:=20
1. reach a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem function in the context=
of
regional and global carbon and nutrient fluxes,=20
2. determine how the particular oligotrophic environment of reef waters
acts as
a limiting factor for planktonic processes and plankton diversity.=20
A functional approach to coral reef ecology demands that we take planktonic
communities into account. Reef benthos are now well known to consume
zooplankton, protists, phytoplankton, bacterioplankton and even particulate
detritus and sediments. This consumption represents a net input to coral=
reef
pools which can contribute significantly to new production. In turn, these
benthic processes are known to act as positive feedbacks to=
bacterioplankton,
zooplankton and, perhaps, phytoplankton. Some of these interactions
undoubtedly
involve other macro-organisms like bivalves and fishes.=20
Understanding these interaction processes, as well as describing the=
internal
functioning of the reef water column, is a key, but usually overlooked=
aspect
of coral reef ecology.=20
Even less is known of planktonic processes in coral reef waters.=
Interactions
among size and functional groups, the role of protists as trophic links
between
picoplankton and upper levels of the trophic networks, the determinants of
picophytoplankton composition are all exciting areas of current research.=20
The aim of this mini-symposium is to summarize the state-of-the-art in
planktonic foodwebs and their interactions with the reef benthos and the
adjacent communities. An important output will be to identify the crucial
areas
of ignorance, and therefore, suggest directions of future research. A
comparison of the main features of the plankton-benthos coupling in the
different reef types, underlining common trends or functional differences,
will
allow better characterization of the pathways of matter and energy across=
the
boundaries of coral reef ecosystems. This mini-symposium is definitely not
devoted only to water column scientists. On the contrary, the co-convenors
will
ensure that helpful, interdisciplinary exchange occurs.

Subject: Manta towing on SCUBA
Dear Fellow researchers,
I am currently writing a review of scientific dive methods. One of the
section's discusses various techniques used to survey large coral reef
areas. I am aware that Manta towing has been used on snorkel for many years
to do the type of large scale survey, but what about manta towing on SCUBA?
After a heafty library search I have found that it has been frequently used
in the past but I have not found if it is currently allowed in this
"occupational, health and safety" climate.
I would like to hear comments/opinions or sources of information that may
find me answers to the following questions:
Is Manta towing on SCUBA currently used as a survey technique?
If so, what is it used for? (eg coral surveys, COT surveys, seagrass surveys
etc)
Is Manta towing on SCUBA allowed in Australia?
If so, is there a set of safety standards related to it (in Australia or
else where)?
If not, is there an industry safety standard for manta techiques on SCUBA
(in Australia or elsen where)?
I thank you for your time and consideration of this topic.
Yours sincerely,
Kathy Townsend

Subject: Socioeconomic Mini-Symp in Bali
Dear Coral Listers,
We would like to invite those of you working on socioeconomic issues to
submit an abstract for the 9ICRS mini-symposia entitled, "Bringing the
Social Sciences into Coral Reef Management: The Hows and Whys of
Socioeconomic Assessments" (C1). This mini-symposium will discuss the
various approaches to conducting socioeconomic assessments (e.g.,
participatory rapid appraisals, ethnographic research, market valuations,
non-use valuations, multicriteria analysis) and the management
implications of these assessments drawing on case study experiences.
Other contributions that fit the general topic of this mini-symposium are
also welcome. Please see the abstract below.
If you are interested in presenting a paper as part of this
mini-symposium, please send your abstract to the conveners: Leah Bunce
(Leah.Bunce at noaa.gov) and Nohora Galvis (galvis at itc.nl) and to the
co-ordinator of the scientific programme: David Hopley
(David.Hopley at ultrat.net.au). Instructions for abstract submission can be
found on the conference home page (http://www.nova.edu/ocean/9icrs/).
The deadline for abstract submission is 30 APRIL 2000.
See you in Bali.

Bringing the Social Sciences into Coral Reef Management: The Hows and Whys
of Socioeconomic Assessments
As increasing emphasis has been placed on the human dimension of coral
reef management, there has been growing interest in incorporating the
social sciences into reef management. Socioeconomic assessments provide a
starting point for incorporating these fields of science into the reef
management process by providing insight into the cultural, social and
economic background of various stakeholder groups. Recognizing the
significant role of these studies, the Global Coral Reef Monitoring
Network (GCRMN), which has historically focused on biophysical monitoring,
recently published a manual on how to conduct socioeconomic assessments.
This mini-symposium will discuss the hows and whys of conducting
socioeconomic assessments in terms of the alternative methods for
conducting socioeconomic assessments and the importance of the results for
reef management programs. Each presentation will focus on a site-specific
case study and will be presented by the social scientist who conducted the
study and by the reef manager who used the information to address reef
management issues. The social scientist will discuss the methodology and
the results of the assessments while the reef manager will discuss how the
information was used to further reef management. The session will
conclude with a discussion of the benefits and the challenges of the
various approaches to addressing reef management issues.

ABSTRACT
Bleaching of reef corals (loss of algal symbionts or their symbiotic
capacity) has been linked to global warming and the demise of corals and
other symbiotic invertebrates on tropical reefs. Following the worst and
most widespread bleaching in record history in 1998, many coral reefs across
the world's tropical oceans appear to be damaged to the point where recovery
may take 30-100 years. The symposium feature talks on a wide array of issues
associated with bleaching phenomena. It will aim to coordinate and encourage
discussion across important areas range from the molecular (mechanisms and
bleaching) to the ecological processes (e.g. organismal impacts and
community change) involved in bleaching. This symposium will also invite
discussion on the important question of whether bleaching is a sign of
global climate change and hence seek the participation of coral reef
biologists interested in longer term patterns and time frames. Particular
emphasis will be placed on resolving the question of whether coral bleaching
is a threat to reef systems worldwide and whether coral bleaching is set to
increase in intensity and frequency in the next century.

Dear Fellow Coral-Listers:
I've already received over 60 requests for the list of coral disease
peer-reviewed publications. Instead of sending this to everyone
individually, I will paste the list here and also attach it as a
word-processing file. The webmaster of this listserver has graciously
offered to add coral disease publications to the CHAMP (Coral Health and
Monitoring Program) data base. With the help of a CHAMP-associated
Librarian, I will soon be able to add the list, plus associated
abstracts, to the CHAMP coral reef references.
If you have any peer-reviewed coral disease papers that are not included
in the list, please send them to me (copy of paper to: Dr. Laurie
Richardson, Biology Department, Florida International University, Miami,
Florida, 33199, USA) and I will include it as we put together the CHAMP
coral disease reference site. At this time I have not included papers
in press. I have also not included abstracts and non-peer reviewed
papers about coral diseases.
Thanks so much for your interest. Laurie Richardson

Aloha All,
Some very interesting mini-sessions are evolving for the Bali conference.
Is anyone open to the notion that volunteers could be trained to watch for
signs of disease and record and report visual (or photographed/video)
assessment of reef health to managers?

Subject: Re: Manta towing on SCUBA
We used scuba on tow boards to census conch for several years. Takes a bit of
training and skill. We always used two divers and two sleds. The depths were
as deep as 60. For a copy of protocols contact bob.glazer at dep.state.fl.us.
More sophisticated systems have the diver using an AGA or Exo 26 helmet with
wire coms to the boat with a small video camera fixed to the top of the helmet
and an umbilicus back to the boat. The video goes to a vcr on the boat and
into a software package called Mission Manager. Mission manager can integrate,
GPS, DGPS, water quality, multibeam profiling, side scan, with the video. The
download can be used to generate maps and graphics. contact Bruce Graham:

Subject: CITES & FWS
Our experience [Tampa Bay] is that if an FWS inspector finds what he or she
thinks is in violation of CITES or other statutes, they will hold the shipment
and seek expert opinion. We often are brought material or we go to the airport
or port warehouse to give an expert opinion. In the case of Scleractinia, you
are dealing at the genus level, thus the nitty gritty conflicts at the species
level are not of concern.
Recently there was a major intercept (two cargo containers filled with coral)
that was destined for the curio market. We verified the identification and
provided expert witness. The corals were mislabeled as shells and other marine
material. The case went to court and the individual is in jail and has a large
fine to pay.
Over thirty years we have developed a good working relationship with the people
on the front line and it may be that the best approach is to provide a list of
experts in port and airport locations that can assist the USFWS in verifying
the materials they think may be in violation.
We can also take an active role in working out the details in scientific permit
for corals. A working group could assist in this effort. In our area, they
are very willing to listen to ideas and seek advice. We have taught workshops
for the inspectors and this is a great way to get to know the process. A
little time spent is very well rewarded.

THE CENTER FOR FIELD RESEARCH AT
EARTHWATCH INSTITUTE
announces a
Call for Proposals in Coral Reef Research and Conservation
Earthwatch Institute is a non-profit institution that sponsors scholarly
field research in the biological, physical, social and cultural
sciences. To date, Earthwatch has supported over 1,000 research
projects in 118 countries with $37 million in research grants and over
50,000 volunteer field assistants. The volunteers are well-educated and
highly motivated individuals who are recruited, screened and trained to
meet scientistsí needs. The Center for Field Research is the affiliate
organisation of Earthwatch Institute that develops and recommends
programs for Earthwatch support. The Center is interested in enhancing
Earthwatchís support of coral reef projects and is now accepting
proposals for field work related to research and conservation in coral
reef ecosystems.
ELIGIBILITY
Scientists, resource managers and others involved in research in the
marine sciences are eligible to apply as individuals or as teams.
Project Managers or Principal Investigators must oversee all field work
through the production of project reports and policy recommendations.
Professionals from any nationality, for work in any regional area, are
eligible to apply.
THE PROJECTS
Field-based projects which address a broad range of questions and issues
related to coral reef ecosystems are encouraged, e.g.:
ï Studies of the causes, effects and mitigation of coral bleaching
ï Projects that test and monitor different approaches to the sustainable
management of coral reefs
ï Investigations of the impacts of coastal land use and development on
reef ecosystems
ï Projects that test innovative approaches to enhancing stocks of
threatened or endangered reef species
ï Studies that involve the groundtruthing of remotely sensed data on the
status and health of coral reefs
ï Basic research on reef biology, ecology and ichthyology
GRANTS
Grants range from $10,000 to $50,000 depending on project length and
number of volunteer participants involved. Typical projects might
employ 4 to 8 volunteers, from different professions, each on 3 to 6
sequential teams over several months. Project teams normally spend 7 to
15 days in the field as most participants are on leave from their
professional organisations. Preliminary proposals for field work should
be submitted 1 year in advance of the anticipated field work, and will
be responded to within 30 days. Full proposals, if invited, will be
peer reviewed.
All correspondence should be directed to:

Subject: New Mini-Symp. on Coral Reef Reproduction etc.
This message is to inform coral reef workers and all other researchers
interested in reproductive biology and ecology of coral reef biota of a
newly approved mini symposium topic for the 9th ICRS at Bali:
"Reproduction, recruitment, and effects of stress on reproductive success
of corals and other reef invertebrates". As the title suggests, the
mini-symposium will focus on reproduction and recruitment patterns of
corals and other reef invertebrates, with an additional focus on the
effects of natural and anthropogenic pollution and stress impacts on
reproductive output and success of these organisms. Note that this
mini-symposium will not include papers dealing with pelagic and settlement
stages of reef fishes which is the focus of another mini-symposium. The
mini-symposium could be expanded to include reproductive ecology of algae
if there is sufficient interest among researchers.
Please contact me by return email if you are interested in contributing to
this session, or would like further details.
Participants should send Abstract/s to me (pharriso at scu.edu.au) AND to Dr
David Hopley, the Chair of the Scientific Program
(David.Hopley at ultra.net.au) by the APRIL 30 deadline. Abstracts should be
submitted in the format given on the conference web page
(www.nova.edu/ocean/9icrs), and participants are encouraged to submit
Abstracts in an electronic format to assist with the preparation of the
Symposium Abstract booklet. Abstracts are required for both oral
presentations and posters.
I look forward to seeing you at this stimulating session!
