2000-2002 Rapid Ecological Assessment of Corals (Anthozoa) on Shallow Reefs of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Part 1: Species and Distribution

Maragos, James E; Potts, Donald C; Aeby, Greta; Gulko, Dave; Kenyon, Jean; Siciliano, Daria; VanRavenswaay, Dan (University of Hawai'i Press, 2004-04)

Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) surveys at 465 sites on 11 reefs in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) inventoried coral species, their relative abundances, and their distributions during 2000-2002. Surveys ...

Anthropogenic and Natural Stresses on Selected Coral Reefs in Hawai'i: A Multidecade Synthesis of Impact and Recovery

Dollar, Steven J; Grigg, Richard W (University of Hawai'i Press, 2004-04)

In 2002, quantitative phototransect surveys documenting coral community structure off three coastal resorts in Hawai'i were repeated to produce long-term data sets of 12 to 22 yr duration. At the first site, in Honolua ...
An Attempt to Increase Numbers of Herbivorous Fishes as a Means of Controlling Populations of Fleshy Macroalgae on Coral Reefs in Kane'ohe Bay, Hawai'i

Conklin, Eric J; Stimson, John (University of Hawai'i Press, 2004-04)

This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of enhancing fish populations as a means of controlling macroalgal populations in Kane'ohe Bay, O'ahu, Hawai'i. Fleshy macroalgae have overgrown corals on reef slopes ...
Development of Benthic Sampling Methods for the Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) in Hawai'i

Brown, Eric; Cox, Evelyn; Jokiel, Paul; Rodgers, Ku'ulei; Smith, William; Tissot, Brian; Coles, Steve L; Hultquist, Jonathan (University of Hawai'i Press, 2004-04)

The Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) of Hawai'i was established in 1998 to monitor long-term changes in coral reef benthic communities around the state. Development of the methodology involved analysis ...
Ecological Economic Modeling of Coral Reefs: Evaluating Tourist Overuse at Hanauma Bay and Algae Blooms at the Kihei Coast, Hawai'i

van Beukering, Pieter JH; Cesar, Herman SJ (University of Hawai'i Press, 2004-04)

In this paper we present the first ecological economic model of coral reefs in Hawai'i. This model contains the main elements required to assess the full picture of coral reef management and thereby enables scientists ...
Ecology of the Invasive Red Alga Gracilaria salicornia (Rhodophyta) on O'ahu, Hawai'i

Smith, Jennifer E; Hunter, Cynthia L; Conklin, Eric J; Most, Rebecca; Sauvage, Thomas; Squair, Cheryl; Smith, Celia M (University of Hawai'i Press, 2004-04)

The red alga Gracilaria salicornia (C. Agardh) E. Y. Dawson was introduced intentionally to two reefs on O'ahu, Hawai'i, in the 1970s for experimental aquaculture for the agar industry. Some 30 yr later, this species ...
Economic Valuation of the Coral Reefs of Hawai'i

Cesar, Herman SJ; van Beukering, Pieter JH (University of Hawai'i Press, 2004-04)

Hawai'i's coral reef ecosystems provide many goods and services to coastal populations, such as fisheries and tourism. They also form a unique natural ecosystem, with an important biodiversity value as well as scientific ...
El Nino Influence on Holocene Reef Accretion in Hawai'i

Rooney, John; Fletcher, Charles; Grossman, Eric; Engles, Mary; Field, Michael (University of Hawai'i Press, 2004-04)

New observations of reef accretion from several locations show that in Hawai'i accretion during early to middle Holocene time occurred in areas where today it is precluded by the wave regime, suggesting an increase in ...
Evaluating Effectiveness of a Marine Protected Area Network in West Hawai'i to Increase Productivity of an Aquarium Fishery

Tissot, Brian N; Walsh, William J; Hallacher, Leon E (University of Hawai'i Press, 2004-04)

A network of nine Fish Replenishment Areas (FRAs) was established in West Hawai'i in 2000 in response to declines of reef fishes taken by aquarium collectors. In 1999, we established 23 study sites in FRAs, areas open ...
Hawai'i Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program: Spatial Patterns and Temporal Dynamics in Reef Coral Communities

Jokiel, Paul L; Brown, Eric K; Friedlander, Alan; Rodgers, S Ku'ulei; Smith, William R (University of Hawai'i Press, 2004-04)

The Hawai'i Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) was established to describe the spatial and temporal variation in Hawaiian coral reef communities in relation to natural and anthropogenic factors. Sixty ...
Impact of Stream Hardening on Water Quality and Metabolic Characteristics of Waimanalo and Kane'ohe Streams, O'ahu, Hawaiian Islands

Laws, Edward A; Roth, Lauren (University of Hawai'i Press, 2004-04)

Kane'ohe and Waimanalo Streams on the windward side of the island of O'ahu in the Hawaiian Islands have been hardened to prevent flooding. The hardening process has involved elimination of the natural riparian habitat ...

A Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) Quantitative Survey Method for Benthic Algae Using Photoquadrats with Scuba

Preskitt, Linda B; Vroom, Peter S; Smith, Celia M (University of Hawai'i Press, 2004-04)

The challenge of assessing seldom-visited, benthic substrates has created the need for a method to describe benthic communities quickly and efficiently. Macroscale rapid ecological assessments (REAs) of algal ...
