    Extractions: This picture was taken at East Beach, an eight mile stretch of deserted, white sand beach. Drs. Larry Davis (Geology) and Gordon Brown (Biology) led a group of CSB/SJU students to the Bahamian Field Station on San Salvador Island, Bahamas. The trip was the highlight of a 2001 January-term course - Evolution and Ecology of Coral Reefs and Reef Systems. The class examined the biological and geological controls on the distribution and development of various reef communities through time. The Bahamas trip allowed the students to study Holocene and Pleistocene reefs, as well as other associated Caribbean ecosystems including rocky shores, sandy beaches, lagoon/seagrass beds, mangroves, inland lakes, freshwater marshes, and coastal and backland Coppice communities. The trip was headquartered at the Bahamian Field Station, a residential field facility located on San Salvador Island. San Salvador Island is located southwest of Florida and is the

    Extractions: As I hope that I have been able to demonstrate, coral reefs are diverse ecosystems with many of these species highly specialised to a particular job, and with many interacting and dependant on each other. These are the characteristics of a mature ecosystem, and are important in determining what factors are harmful to coral reefs, and should be considered in their conservation. With so many specialised species interacting and relying on each other, it is clear that even if a factor effects just one species it will have knock on effects on many others. For example if you remove the Spanish dancer, where will the shrimp live, or kill off anemones and where will the clownfish, shrimps, crabs and other animals go?

In Honduras we work at the Roatan Institute for Marine Sciences and stay at Anthony's Key Resort. Dr. David Kesler from Rhodes college has also been taking students to the Institute for Marine Sciences in Roatan. Here are links to Dr. Kesler's Coral Reef Ecology course and photos from their last trip. Course Description: This project will introduce the students to the organisms that inhabit coral reefs and the ecological forces that make them what they are. All of the students will learn about the identification and ecology of the coral reef organisms in a lab setting and by diving on reefs in Roatan, Honduras. All students will participate in Institute for Marine Science coral reef monitoring research projects. Students that are doing a senior interim project in Biology will complete an original self-designed research project in Roatan. All students will assist the senior projects in data collection. These are the students from the Coral Reef project, 1997, along with the staff of the Institute for Marine Sciences, Roatan. We stayed at Anthony's Key Resort and worked out of the IMS facilities. Senior student research projects included; "Salinity and depth effects on population distribution and dominance of 15 coral species on Roatan Island Honduras" by Jamie Grimes and several projects on the IMS resident dolphins. Niky Arunakul and Denise Wiginton's project was. "The ability of a

    Extractions: Tropical Marine Ecology is a five-week course designed to provide opportunities for in-depth study of tropical marine ecosystems. Offered for the first time in 2003, it is the first graduate course in marine ecology to be offered jointly by the Organization of Tropical Studies (OTS) and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) . The course is ideally suited to students pursuing graduate studies in marine ecology in the tropics and will be coordinated by two Smithsonian scientists with assistance from guest scientists who will join the course for periods ranging from one day to two weeks. Tropical Marine Ecology focuses on the three dominant marine ecosystems of the tropics—seagrasses, mangroves, and coral reefs—and provides both a comprehensive introduction to the ecology of these ecosystems and explorations into research topics of current interest, including the subjects of active, on-site research programs. Students will develop an appreciation for the linkages, interdependencies, and ecological significance of the three ecosystems. The course will include lectures and/or practical work on a variety of additional topics, including biological oceanography and the ecology of the benthos and meiofauna.

    Extractions: EMERGING CORAL DISEASES Emerging coral diseases have increased dramatically in recent years, both in terms of increases in disease outbreaks and in the occurrence of new, previously undescribed diseases, worldwide. Four coral diseases have been characterized to date. Black band disease, the first coral disease to be discovered (1973), consists of a dark line, or band, that migrates across coral tissue at rates up to 1 cm per day, completely degrading coral tissue and leaving behind bare coral skeleton. The disease consists of a specific community of bacteria that work together to produce and maintain a toxic chemical environment that kills corals. While the disease normally is present at low levels on reefs (an incidence of <1%) it is a serious threat in that it targets slow growing (

    Extractions: Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest University of California Press 2001 A book review by Danny Yee The World Atlas of Coral Reefs begins with eighty pages of general information. Chapter one surveys the geology, geography, and biology of coral reefs, describing patterns in their diversity and some of the more prominent organisms found on them. Chapter two looks at changing human uses of reefs, at the growth of tourism and diving, and at some of the threats reefs face - pollution, sedimentation, unsustainable fishing, direct physical damage, bleaching, crown-of-thorns starfish, coral disease - and conservation responses. And a brief third chapter on reef mapping covers both its history and modern techniques. The bulk of the Atlas is a world-wide survey of reefs, region by region and country by country. (I skimmed much of this, reading in full only the sections on Indonesia, Australia, and a few other countries.) For each significant reef area, this covers the same topics surveyed in chapters one and two, but with local details. I found this quite readable, even when it goes into detail about such things as currents and species numbers, but the outstanding feature of the Atlas is its maps. Produced just for this volume, these show areas of reef and mangroves and mark the location of dive centres and protected areas. They are on a generous scale, with seven full-page maps covering Australian reefs, for example: one overall map, one for each of the west and northern coasts, and four covering the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea. The least interesting material, in contrast, is a table for each country listing all the protected reef areas, with their status, size, and the date they were created. This really could have been left to an appendix in a smaller font, or even relegated to a web site somewhere.

    Extractions: CARICOMP: Long-term monitoring of Bermuda's coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangrove forests. The long-term monitoring program of seagrass beds, coral reefs and mangroves in Bermuda concluded its sixth year of data collection. This work is done in parallel with 20 other sites in the wider Caribbean and results in a regional database of physical and biological variables in these key coastal ecosystems. CARICOMP scientists prepared five papers on the results of our programs for presentation at the 8th International Coral Reef Symposium in Panama in June 1996. Robbie Smith was asked to present the summary of the coral reef monitoring work. The most surprising result is that the majority of the reefs monitored by CARICOMP scientists are dominated by algae and, in many locations, coral coverage has declined. This is the scenario that coral reef scientists in the Caribbean have been most concerned about: a transition from coral reefs to algal reefs due to perturbation of the coastal zone by human activities. Fortunately, Bermuda's reef do not show these patterns and we believe this is due to the sensible decision in 1990 to eliminate fish traps that were reducing the population of parrotfishes, which help control reef algal abundance. Another result of the comparison of Bermuda to the other Caribbean sites is that the productivity and growth patterns of both our seagrass and mangroves were very similar to those in the Caribbean. This is quite interesting considering the great temperature range and reduced day lengths in winter at our high latitude.
