82. Oceanic Society - Student Carribean Coral Reef Ecology Program The course is designed for teachers, university students, and others interested in a content rich week of coral reef study on a tropical island in Belize over http://www.oceanic-society.org/pages/alltrips/spectrip6.html

Program Description This university level credit course is a field study of the Belize Barrier Reef and the reef’s dependent natural communities. The course is available as either 2 upper division or 2 graduate level credits from Portland State University. The course may also be taken noncredit. Qualified high school students may also obtain high school credit. The course is designed for teachers, university students, and others interested in a content rich week of coral reef study on a tropical island in Belize over Christmas break. This is primarily a field course, and participants will study the Belize coral reef environments by boat, snorkeling, and walking/wading the beaches and intertidal reef, lagoon, sea grass beds, beach, storm beach, and mangrove islands. Emphasis will be on how these natural ecosystems are produced and maintained. As a basis for understanding reef building processes, you will experience the natural cycles of the reef; and the impact on island and reef systems of wind, waves, tides, currents, sand production and transport, and temperature. Ecosystem dynamics are easily demonstrated by viewing and studying the function and value of living plankton as well as the life cycle dynamics of reef-dependent natural communities, species diversity, stratified coral habitats, adaptation, and succession. This class is suitable for teachers, university students and ecotourists. Serious and dedicated upper level high school students with an accumulated GPA over 3.3 may participate and may receive both high school credit and college credit, but need permission from the instructor (deweyr@pdx.edu). Participants interested in knowing the natural history of coral reef processes without the responsibilities associated with university credit are welcome to enroll on a noncredit basis.

Coral Reef Bleaching and Sea Surface Temperature Coral "bleaching" is an unusual response of corals to most stresses that are just short of lethal. The coral loses the microscopic algae which normally live within its cells and which provide corals with their color, most of their ability to rapidly grow skeleton, and much of their food. The "bleached" coral turns transparent, pale, or unusual colors, and enters a starving stage, unable to grow or reproduce. Artificial Reefs: Reef Restoration and Shore Protection The term "artificial reef" often covers a wide variety of material tossed into the sea: wrecked cars, airplanes, ships, concrete blocks and tires. On land, we would probably call this material a pile of junk. Underwater, while this discarded material may provide a degree of shelter for fish, it also corrodes, cracks, rusts, decomposes and leaches toxic chemicals into the water.

Cornell Center for the Environment OREP's New Programs Include Coral Reef Ecology and Satellite Remote Sensing The Center for the Environment's Ocean Resources and Ecosystems Program (OREP) has expanded its breadth of coverage to include new programmatic themes in coral reef ecology and satellite remote sensing of the ocean. Drew Harvell, professor in the Division of Ecology and Systematics, has initiated a research project through OREP investigating a fungal pathogen infecting seafans throughout the Caribbean. This effort is supported by OREP, Hatch, the National Undersea Research Center, and rapid response funds from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Bruce Monger, research associate in OREP, has initiated research projects using satellite remote sensing to investigate primary production in the Northwest Atlantic and to monitor coral reefs in the Florida Keys and Bahamas. The research in the Northwest Atlantic is conducted in collaboration with OREP director Charles Greene, and is supported to by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The research in Florida and the Bahamas is conducted in collaboration with Greene and William Philpot, professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and is supported by Hatch and the Office of Naval Research, respectively. Monger also has been awarded a grant from NASA and Sea Grant to support a new undergraduate course, Satellite Remote Sensing in Biological Oceanography. This five-week summer course will be held jointly on the Cornell campus and at the Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML). Students will make bio-optical oceanographic measurements from aboard the Laboratory's R/V John Kingsbury in waters adjacent to the SML. Afterwards, students will return to campus to process associated satellite imagery at the Science of Earth System's Computer Laboratory in Snee Hall.

HO050 INDO-PACIFIC CORAL REEF ECOLOGY COURSE Back to Indonesia marine science projects for general volunteers Back to Sulawesi home page HO50 Indo-Pacific Coral Reef Ecology course (Units 1 - 13, minimum 1 unit, need to be qualified diver) The course is designed to introduce volunteers to the tropical marine environment, focusing upon coral reefs, and aims to develop skills in field biology, including species identification and survey techniques. The course does so by introducing and describing the main features of tropical coral reef systems, and then focuses upon the identification of the major taxa of coral reef associated organisms. The course therefore focuses its attention in three main areas. the main groups of commonly occurring reef-associated invertebrates the hard, reef-building or hermatypic corals (mostly from the Class Anthozoa: Order Scleractinia) are examined in greater detail with the more common genera and species being described. the major families of coral reef fishes For each group, basic biological and ecological information is also included, as is taxonomic information. However, the focus is placed upon learning the characteristic features that aid in identification with the aim being to recognise, identify and name each group whilst in the field. An additional objective of the course is to enable volunteers to refine their diving skills before moving on to participate and help with the different scientific projects occurring on site.

RESEARCH THEME 2: CORAL BIODIVERSITY AND ECOLOGY Return to themed marine research page Return to Wakatobi National Park index Rationale The Hoga Research Centre is in the heart of the triangle of reefs in eastern Indonesia which form the most biologically diverse reefs in the World. This location makes the centre an ideal location to study reef diversity and in particular the factors which affect that diversity. There are five main activities as part of this theme: 2.1 Anthropogenic factors impacting coral reef biodiversity A PhD grant is being offered by Operation Wallacea starting in 2004 to examine the role that sedimentation, coral bleaching, disease, damage from blast fishing and storm damage and outbreaks of destructive reef organisms such as Crown of Thorns starfish are impacting on the integrity of the reefs in the Kaledupa Stakeholder Area. General volunteers will be able to assist with some of the data gathering and there are a few dissertation projects on different aspects of this study. 2.2 Ecological factors influencing coral reef diversity

92. World Conservation Monitoring Centre - ReefBase ReefBase. ReefBase has already incorporated data from the Australian coral Reef ecology Database and several other ongoing databases. http://www.wcmc.org.uk/data/database/reefbase.html

Home Page Index Comments Reefbase A global database of coral reef systems and their resources Last updated 31 May 1996 A global database on coral reefs, ReefBase, is being released in June/July, 1996 by the Manila-based International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) . The ReefBase Version 1.0 CD-ROM is the preliminary result of our efforts to summarize available knowledge about coral reefs in a simple, compact package. ReefBase has been created for scientists, academics, students, resource managers in government and private institutions, divers and other coral reef enthusiasts. It is designed to be run on fast 486 or Pentium PC's. Coral reefs, the marine equivalents of tropical rain forests, are under threat in many parts of the world as a result of habitat degradation, over-exploitation and, possibly, global climate change. Although fragile, coral reefs are highly productive and can support high levels of sustained fishing if the fishing is sensibly regulated. If they are in good condition, they also have great value as tourist attractions. In many parts of the world these economic benefits are being eroded by siltation from poor land management, nutrient enrichment from sewage, other forms of pollution, destructive fishing practices, and intensive use by tourists. However, the magnitudes of these impacts are largely undetermined and undocumented. Basic questions such as "what is the total area of coral reefs in the world?" and "what is the contribution of reefs to the world's fisheries?" are still unanswered.

The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands Under-represented wetland types in the Ramsar "List of Wetlands of International Importance" Coral Reefs and the Ramsar Convention For more than 30 years, the Ramsar Convention has been the principal instrument for international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands. Adopted in Iran in 1971, it was the first of the modern global conservation treaties, and is still the only one dedicated to a particular ecosystem type. Parties to the Convention have committed themselves to designating all of their "suitable wetlands", based upon criteria developed over the years, for inclusion in the List of Wetlands of International Importance (the " Ramsar List ") and maintaining their ecological character through management planning for their conservation and sustainable use. Coral reefs The Ramsar Convention's definition of "wetlands" is intentionally broad, including amongst many other types all "areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six metres" (Article 1.1), but also explicitly allowing the inclusion in the Ramsar List of "coastal zones adjacent to the wetlands, and islands or bodies of marine water deeper than six metres at low tide lying within the wetlands" (Article 2.1). Thus according to the Ramsar Classification System for Wetland Types
