Coral-listers,
I would appreciate any leads on papers evaluating/quantifying what merits
quality or strong enforcement of marine reserves. In my search, I am
turning up studies that assess reserve performance among reserves
classified
as 'well enforced' versus 'poorly' enforced, but I am looking for what
metrics constitute those classifications.
I have my hands on Guidetti et al. 2008, Sethi and Hilborn 2008, Samoilys
et
al 2007, and Maliao et al 2004...but any further sources delineating
attributes well to poorly enforced reserve protection would be appreciated..
Thanks in advance,
Brittany Huntington

Dear Alina and Doug,
I agree with your reef classifications. We have always used the term
"Mesoamerican Reef" for the ecologically connected reefs in this region,
that we have delineated partly for conservation and management purposes.
We
have a map of the area some nice diagrams of the typical reef types and
descriptions in the 2008 Report Card for the Mesoamerican reef that you can
download from the library on www.healthyreefs.org.
I wasn't part of the discussions in the mid-late 90's that came up with the
term "Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System", as part of a political process
bringing together the heads of state of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and
Honduras for the signing of the "Tulum Declaration" in 1998 declaring this
reef system a globally significant marine resource, with a shared
commitment
to conserve it. When I queried the inclusion of the term 'barrier' for
this
wider reef system (all of which is not a barrier reef) I was told they
wanted to firmly 'link' it to the barrier reef in Belize and to distinguish
it as not including other Mesoamerican reefs in Nicaragua, Panama and Costa
Rica. So it seems it was partly a political reason limit the geographical
extent of the reef unit to encompass those 4 countries that were signing
the
accord. The Nicaraguan rise also forms somewhat of a natural delineation
and
limitation on connectivity for the reefs further south.
So as typically happens, our result is a combination of science and
politics
and is basically working for us within the region. Whichever term we use,
the most important aspect is that we define our spatial area with a map
(and
a rationale for it), and that we are all clear that these different reef
types are included in this magnificent, diverse piece of reef real estate,
whether we call it the Mesoamerican Reef or the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef
System. I dont think we will be jumping ship to call it the Middle American
Reef any time soon :)
FYI ...The 1996 ICRS from Panama has a great overview geological paper by
MacIntyre and Aronson about the geology of the Belize barrier reef system
and atolls.

I thought everyone would enjoy a very nice video of a Montipora spawning in
