Speaker: Jonathan Martinez, Ph.D. Marine Scientist for
Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument

The Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument recently conducted an
assessment of 10 years of status and trends of living resources,
habitats, ocean conditions, maritime and cultural archaeological
resources, and the human activities and natural events that affect
them. The findings are detailed in the 2020 State of the Monument
Report on the status and trends of monument resources from 2008-2019.
The report supports ongoing adaptive management of the monument by
helping to identify not only the status of resources, but also gaps in
current monitoring efforts. Jonathan Martinez, Ph.D, the lead editor
and author of several sections, will present findings from the report
across all resource areas with an emphasis on assessments for coral
reef ecosystems during this talk. Jon is originally from Santa Fe, NM
and completed a BS in Zoology and PhD in Botany at the University of
Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. His dissertation research involved physical
disturbance to coral reef habitat quality and quantifying the
physiological stress to coral using molecular biomarkers. Jon now
works as part of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument
science team and focuses on applied research for management and serves
in dual research and policy roles. You can read the full report here.

This presentation is part of the Third Thursday By the Bay
Presentation Series at Mokupāpapa Discovery Center that is the visitor
center for Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in Hilo,
Hawaiʻi. This lecture series is also supported by the National Marine
Sanctuary Foundation through a grant from the National Fish and
Wildlife Foundation.
