CRED REA Line Point Intercept Surveys of Benthic Parameter Assessments at Molokai Island, Main Hawaiian Islands in 2008

To support a long-term NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) for sustainable management and conservation of coral reef ecosystems, from 16 October - 14 November 2008, line point intercept (LPI) surveys of benthic parameter assessments were conducted, as a part of Rapid Ecological Assessments (REA), during the Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (RAMP) Cruise OES0810 in the Main Hawaiian Islands at biennial intervals by the Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED) at the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC). During the cruise, 6 REA sites were surveyed at Molokai Island in the Main Hawaiian Islands. At the specific REA sites, coral biologists along with algal biologists, marine invertebrate zoologist, and fish biologists entered the water and conducted a fine-scale (~300 m2) and high degree of taxonomic resolution REA survey to assess and monitor species composition, abundance, percent cover, size distribution, diversity, and general health of fish, corals, macro-invertebrates, and algae in shallow-water (< 35 m) habitats. As a part of REA surveys, the line point intercept surveys were used to quantitatively assess average percent live coral cover and other benthic substrates at REA sites. The surveys were conducted along two consecutively-placed 25m transect lines by a coral biologist. All benthic elements falling directly underneath the transect line at 20-cm to 50-cm intervals were recorded as one of nine benthic categories: live coral, dead coral, carbonate pavement, encrusting coralline algae, macroalgae, coral rubble, sand, rock, and other benthic sessile invertebrates. All living benthic elements (e.g., coral, algae, and other invertebrates) were identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible. These data provide the basis for computing quantitative estimates of percent live coral cover, as well as percent cover of the different benthic constituents.

CRED REA Coral Population Parameters at Palmyra Atoll, Pacific Remote Island Areas in 2008

Belt transects along 2 consecutively-placed, 25m transect lines were surveyed as part of Rapid Ecological Assessments conducted at 14 sites around Palmyra Atoll in Pacific Remote Island Areas from 30 March to 3 April 2008, aboard the NOAA ship Hi'ialakai during the Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (RAMP) Cruise HI0803. Raw survey data included species presence and relative abundance, colony counts and size classes by genus, and determination of benthic cover using the line-intercept method. Depending on colony density, 1 m on each side of the transect lines was included in the belt (for a total of 25-50m2 per site).

Barbers Point Sewage Outfall Fish Census from Annual Surveys 1991-2010 (NODC Accession 0073346)

The Honouliuli Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located in Ewa, Oahu, Hawaii, near Barbers Point (Kalaeloa) has been in operation since 1982. It releases approximately 22 mgd (0.96 m3/s) of primary treated sewage through a 2,670-m pipe at a depth of 61 m offshore of Ewa Beach, Oahu. A controversy had arisen in the early 1990s regarding the impact that sewage effluent from the Honouliuli WWTP may have on inshore coral reef ecosystem. Accordingly, in 1991 this monitoring program commenced in an attempt to quantitatively ascertain the impacts that may be occurring, with annual surveys continuing to the present (2010). It is anticipated the program will continue for many years. The overall survey program includes in situ observations of fish and coral assemblages as well as benthic sampling of sediment chemistry and biota within the sediments. Select water column measurements have also been made such as temperature, salinity, and turbidity. This dataset provides only the fish census from annual quantitative monitoring of shallow marine communities inshore of the Barbers Point Ocean Outfall located in 61 m of water offshore of Ewa Beach, Oahu, Hawaii. NODC Accession 0000174 has the complete set of survey data (coral, fish, benthos, and water column) for annual surveys of 1991-1999. The fish data in 0000174 only provide counts and cumulative biomass. The set presented in the 2011 update (1991-2010) includes fish counts, lengths, and biomass of each species. The other parameters (corals, benthos) for 2000-2010 will be released by the Water Resources Research Center separately.

Growth of Tripneustes Gratilla in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii 2003, (NODC Accession 0001459)

As part of a study of the possibility of using the urchin T. gratilla to control the growth of macroscopic algae on shallow reefs in Kaneohe Bay, we examined the growth rate of this urchin. We measured growth of tagged (PIT tagged) urchins at both sites where they were abundant (Sampan Channel site, Reef 13 and Reef 11) and at sites to which we introduced them (Coconut Island reef flat, Reef 22, Reef 29, Reef 19).
