1 Integration of Pacific RAMP, Coral Monitoring Grants, & CReefs Biodiversity Data into OBIS Rusty Brainard,, Michael Parke, Russell Moffitt, Vikram Khurana, Megan Moews,, *Derek Masaki, **Mark Monaco NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center Coral Reef Ecosystem Division *USGS Pacific Biogeographic Information Node **NOAA National Centers of Coastal Ocean Science Biogeography Program PRIDE Investigators Meeting Oct. 16, 2007

2 Integrated Ecosystem Observations Pacific Reef Assessment & Monitoring Program All U.S. Pacific Islands jurisdictions Benthic Habitat Mapping Oceanographic/Water Quality Monitoring Long-term Ecological Monitoring Fish, corals, other invertebrates, algae Bioacoustic monitoring (Ecological Acoustic Recorders) CRCP Monitoring Grants - NCCOS All U.S. Pacific and Atlantic Caribbean jurisdictions Local coral reef monitoring by state/territorial agencies Census of Coral Reef Ecosystems (CReefs) Biodiversity assessments site specific Focus on smaller, cryptic, understudied organisms invertebrates, algae, microbes

3 Pacific RAMP Multi-disciplinary Ecosystem Assessment and Monitoring Complemented by local Coral Monitoring Grants NWHI MHI - 8 PRIA Baseline surveys of ~50 islands, atolls, and banks across diverse biogeographic, environmental, and anthropogenic gradients

4 Mapping & Characterization Coral Reef Ecosystem Monitoring Report of American Samoa: (in review)

5 Oceanography/Water Quality Ecosystem Impacts of Climate Change: Ocean Warming and Acidification, Sea-level rise

6 Corals Coral Genera per Site Coral Colonies/m2

7 Algae % Occurrence Amphiroa/Jania Crustose Coralline Red Algae Branched Coralline Red Algae Peyssonnelia Dictyosphaeria Halimeda Microdictyon Rhipilia Turf Algae Cyanophyte Coral Reef Ecosystem Monitoring Report of American Samoa: (in review)

8 Macroinvertebrates Giant Clams Mean density (organism/hectare) Sea Cucumbers Mean density (organism/hectare) Urchins Mean density (organism/hectare)
