Cryptobiota metabarcoding using Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structure (ARMS) Deployed at Coral Reef Sites across PRIA from 2011 to 2015

The data described here includes cytochrome oxidase I (COI) DNA metabarcoding data collected from Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS). ARMS were deployed by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), Ecosystem Sciences Division (formerly the Coral Reef Ecosystem Division) under the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) at stationary climate monitoring sites and used to assess and monitor cryptic reef diversity in the Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIA). Developed in collaboration with the Census of Marine Life (CoML) Census of Coral Reef Ecosystems (CReefs), ARMS were designed to mimic the structural complexity of a reef and attract/collect colonizing marine invertebrates. The key innovation of the ARMS method is that biodiversity is sampled over precisely the same surface area in the exact same manner.

These data were gathered at specific reef sites across the PRIAs. ARMS units were set-up, deployed and recovered as described in the ARMS record in the related items section below. After ARMS were disassembled, different size fractions of samples and plate scrapings were preserved in ethanol for metabarcoding.

Hawaii Longline Closure Interviews (2015)

This dataset includes qualitative interview data aggregated and entered into an excel csv file. We conducted 28 semi-structured interviews with Hawaiâi-based fishing captains, vessel owner-operators, and owners between September 5th and December 12th, 2015 in order to assess the industry perspectives of the 2015 WCPFC closure. Fishers were interviewed in their primary languages (English, Vietnamese, and Korean) and translated into english. We used purposive sampling to capture a cross-section of the industry. Purposive sampling was used since the goal was to gather data from certain cross sections, subpopulations or groups that meet specific criteria (Maxwell, 1998). In this case, our cross-section included dual permitted vessels â those operated with both Hawaiâi-based and American Samoa longline permits â that were able to fish in the WCPFC Area during the closure (5 interviews with individuals in charge of a total 17 vessels), vessels under 24 meters actively fishing in the IATTC Area (11 interviews with individuals in charge of 17 vessels), fishers that chose not fish in the IATTC Area (3 interviews, 3 vessels total), captains or owners of vessels larger than 24 meters that were too large to fish in the IATTC Area when it was closed to them by quota and regulations (7 individuals in charge of a total of 8 vessels), and knowledgeable crew members (2). Fishers were asked about their key concerns related to the regulatory closure, how the closure had impacted them, and what their outlook was for the rest of the year. Interview notes were iteratively coded and categorized noting patterns or themes in the data (Miles & Huberman, 1994). Interview quotes were first coded based upon very specific themes or ideas (N=264), then later organized into larger categories (N=10), and finally, into the general categories: issues, impacts, and solutions (N=3).

U.S. Western Pacific Purse Seine

Since 1988, U.S. purse seine vessels have had access to fish in waters of some foreign Pacific Island countries under the South Pacific Tuna Treaty (SPTT). This fleet primarily targets skipjack and yellowfin tuna, but also incidentally catches bigeye tuna.

U.S.A. purse-seine vessels fishing in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) have been monitored by NOAA Fisheries under the SPTT since 1988. Logbook and landings data must be submitted as a requirement of the SPTT with 100% logbook coverage. Most SPTT-licensed vessels e-report their daily logbook data through a software system called Industry Fisheries Information Management System (iFIMS), and also submit copies of their catch and effort logbooks, their offloading logbooks, and cannery receipts to PIRO field staff in American Samoa.

The WCPO fleet operates mainly in areas between 10 degrees N and 10 degrees S latitude and 130 degrees E and 150 degrees W longitude, with the majority of the fishing effort occurring south of the equator.

Understanding fisher-shark interactions in West HawaiÊ»i and exploring collaborative mitigation opportunities

This dataset includes qualitative interview data aggregated and entered into an excel csv file. Data were collected between September 2017 and June 2018. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 29 male West HawaiÊ»i small boat fishers, ranging in age from 19-75 years. The interview guide addressed four broad themes: participant relationship to fishing and fishing history; information sharing in the fisheries of HawaiÊ»i Island; shark interactions and handling practices; and fisher perceptions of local fisheries management and science. More specific questions elicited data around the kinds of fishing circumstances and habitats associated with fisher-shark interactions, what experiences and values might influence fisher perceptions and behavior, and the kinds of sharks fishers encounter.

Derived bathymetry from IKONOS satellite imagery of nearshore benthic habitats

Methods used were adapted from a "cookbook" of instructions developed by Kyle Hogref
for using IKONOS imagery data to derive seafloor elevations in optically clear
water. This dataset was derived from high-resolution (2 m) imagery from DigitalGlobe's
WorldView-2 sensor of the Kaanapali area of Maui, Hawaii. Sensor bands 1,2
and 5 (coastal, blue and near IR respectively) were used to derive depth information.
The method assumes uniform water clarity but deviations from that condition
made extraction difficult in water greater than 30 m depth in the Kaanapali scene
used. Results show that biotic material or sediment in the water column skewed results
shallower if the material has a high albedo and deeper if the material has a low
albedo. Nearshore areas were significantly less impacted in the Kaanapali area,
due to the geomorphology of the area and the hi resolution and quality of the imagery,
allowing visual descrimination of apparent sediment in the water column.
For presentation purposes the map product shows an Inverse Distance Weighted interpolated
bathymetry surface, restricted to data within 600 m of the shoreline.

HMSRP Hawaiian Monk Seal Entanglement data

The data set contains records of all entanglements of Hawaiian monk seals in marine debris.  The data set comprises records of seals entangled by derelict fishing gear, plastic items such as rings or packing bands, or other items of human provenance.  Records are also included of seals which have girdling scars characteristic of having been entangled, even if no direct entanglement was observed.  The data include number of incidents, not number of individual seals (since some animals have been entangled multiple times).     The data do NOT include incidents in which seals become entangled in fishing gear while it is being actively fished.    Data include primarily reports from field biologists in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.  Data set is now complete.  Ongoing data on entanglements are recorded in the Hawaiian monk seal Survival Factor dataset.

HMSRP Hawaiian Monk Seal Survival Factors

This data set contains records of survival factors recorded by PSD personnel and cooperating scientists as part of the ongoing monk seal population assessment efforts, and some miscellaneous earlier records extending back as far as 1977.   Survival factors are defined as any unique event, or series of events that may affect the survival of an individual seals.   Data are recorded for all deaths, probable deaths, suspicious disappearances, and moderate to severe injuries.   Other recorded events include entanglement, observed male aggression, emaciation, ill or abnormal condition, oiling, or a seal out of habitat.   Most data (since 1996) have been entered, however much of the older data are housed at PIFSC in paper form.
