Assessment of the shoalwater environments in the vicinity of the proposed OTEC development at Cabras Island, Guam / edited by Richard H. Randall and Lucius G. Eldredge ; participating authors Bruce R. Best ... [et al.].
Predicting Coral Reef Carbonate Chemistry Through Statistical Modeling: Constraining Nearshore Residence Time Around Guam
To accurately predict the impacts of ocean acidification on shallow-water ecosystems, we must account for the biogeochemical impact of local benthic communities, as well as the connectivity between offshore and onshore water masses. Estimation of residenc...
Bomb-produced radiocarbon in the western tropical Pacific Ocean: Guam coral reveals operation-specific signals from the Pacific Proving Grounds
High-resolution radiocarbon (14C) analyses on a coral core extracted from Guam, a western tropical Pacific island, revealed a series of early bomb-produced14C spikes. The typical marine bomb14C sig- nal—phase lagged and attenuated relative to atmospheric r...
Decadal changes in parrotfish assemblages around reefs of Guam, Micronesia
Modern coral reefs face substantial threats that endanger their capacity to function and provide resources for human populations. Chronic human pressure through exploitation and land-based pollution has led to reef degradation and lower productivity. More...
Divers' willingness to pay for improved coral reef conditions in Guam: An untapped source of funding for management and conservation?
Coral reefs are increasingly threatened despite being essential to coastal and island economies, particularly in the Pacific. The diving industry relies on healthy reefs and can be positively and/or negatively impacted by ecological change. Quantifying di...
Small tropical islands as hotspots of crustose calcifying red algal diversity and endemism
In the tropics, crustose calcifying red algae (Corallinophycidae and Peyssonneliales; CCRA) are dominant and important reef builders that serve a suite of ecological functions affecting reef health. However, CCRA taxa have historically been overlooked in ...
Watershed Restoration As A Tool For Improving Coral Reef Resilience Against Climate Change And Other Human Impacts
Environmental stressors in coastal areas threaten the sustainability of marine resources and reduce their resilience to climate change impacts. Accelerated land erosion is a major stressor that leads to increased turbidity and sedimentation on downstream ...
Guam Department of Agriculture User Friendly Fishing Regulation Booklet
"The Department of Agriculture developed this User Friendly Regulation Booklet, to better inform local residents, visitors and the fishing community of Guam's fishing laws and regulations to include allowable activities within Guam's 5 Marine Preserves an...
"Guam erosion and sediment control (ESC) training for contractors, designers, and site inspectors was held during a workshop in Tumon, Guam, September 10-12, 2012. Participants were each given a copy of the 2012 Guam ESC field guide and a workshop noteboo...
Coral reef investigations at the Guam National Wildlife Refuge, Ritidian Unit
"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as manager of ten important coral reef protected areas in the Pacific region, is obligated to assess and monitor the status of coral reefs at all of its refuges as an essential first step in maintaining the health of r...
"The missions of SE 14-05 were to: 1) Conduct deepwater coral reef fish surveys using 4 BRUVS from the PIFSC SE-6 SafeBoat. 2) Conduct deep-slope bottomfish handline bio-sampling operations from the OMAO SE-4 Northwind and the OES to obtain scientific spe...
This LAS address the various sources of land based pollution that can have harmful effects on the health of Guam's coral reefs including sediments, fertilizers, sewage, car oil, litter, and household hazardous waste.
