On behalf of the SMDC, biologists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) were invited to Wake Atoll in June 1998. The purpose of the visit was to conduct baseline marine biological surveys in the vicinity of the Peacock Point outfall pipe and to examine the sites of other point-source discharges to the marine environment (i.e., power plant, desalinization plant, and stormwater outlets). The biologists were asked to (1) generally characterize the coral-reef habitats within the vicinity of the outfall, (2) document the primary species of reef fishes, corals, other macroinvertebrates, and algae that exist in those habitats, and (3) investigate whether the reef communities at the other sites appeared to have been impacted by the discharges. Purpose: Determine the status of the marine resources in the vicinity of the Peacock Point discharge and other point-source discharges in an effort to quantitatively ascertain if any impacts were occurring to the coral reef biota. Supplemental_Information: Six stations were established on the seaward reef slope along the southern exposure of the atoll. These included one station upcurrent of the outfall (W-1), a station that was centered at the end of the outfall pipe (W-2), two stations downcurrent of the outfall (W-3 and W-4), and two control stations that were downcurrent and estimated to be outside the influence of the outfall (W-5 and W-6). The survey team responsible for the investigation included USFWS biologists Michael Molina (corals and reef substrate cover) and Kevin Foster (noncoral macroinvertebrates and algae); and NMFS biologist John Naughton (fishes and station habitat descriptions). The identity of certain species of algae were confirmed by Dr. Isabella Abott, Department of Botany, University of Hawaii. **Listed taxonomy was compared against that of the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (http://www.itis.usda.gov/index.html) and differences were noted in THIS METADATA RECORD**; no original data listings are altered by the NODC.

These included one station upcurrent of the outfall (W-1), a station that was centered at the end of the outfall pipe (W-2), two stations downcurrent of the outfall (W-3 and W-4), and two control stations that were downcurrent and estimated to be outside the influence of the outfall (W-5 and W-6). Station W-1 was located at coordinates 19ó 16.120' N and 166ó 39.318' E, approximately 500 ft southeast (upcurrent) of the outfall pipe and within the dischargeós Zone of Mixing (ZOM). Station W-2 was located at coordinates 19ó 16.190' N and 166ó 39.262' E, at the end of the outfall pipe and at the center of the dischargeós Zone of Initial Dilution (ZID), which was estimated to have a radius of approximately 18 ft from the end of the pipe. Station W-3 was located at 19ó 16.213' N and 166ó 39.139' E, within the ZOM approximately 500 ft northwest (downcurrent) of the pipe. Station W-4 was located at coordinates 19ó16.359' N and 166ó 38.858' E, near the downcurrent limit of the ZOM approximately 1640 ft from the end of the pipe. Station W-5 was located at 19ó16.819' N and 166ó 37.710' E, approximately 1.5 mi northwest of the pipe. Finally, Station W-6 was located at 19ó17.853' N and 166ó 35.902' E, approximately 4.5 mi northwest of the pipe. A standardized Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) technique was used to record observations on species and habitat conditions at each station. The technique included timed 30-minute scuba dives from a 28-ft boat that was provided by the SMDC and operated by CDC staff. During each dive, biologists swam over the reef in a meandering fashion with a minimum amount of backtracking. Species of reef fishes, corals, other macroinvertebrates, and algae were recorded. Emphasis was given to identifying conspicuous, diurnally active species. As a result, small, cryptic, and nocturnally active species are under represented in the data. For molluscs, many species identifications were based on empty shells. Observations on the presence of sea turtles were made opportunistically. The relative abundances of observed species were ranked as Abundant, Common, Occasional, or Rare. These categories were defined as follows: Abundant (A) = the species contributes substantial abundance or coverage (25+% of total) or is very numerous in the survey area or is dominant within parts of the survey area; Common (C) = the species is present as several or more individuals or as a few larger colonies or is conspicuous in only one or a few parts of the survey area; Occasional (O) = the species is uncommon or present only as a few individuals or as a few large colonies but not contributing substantially to abundance or substrate coverage anywhere within the survey area; and Rare (R) = the species is present on the basis of only one individual seen within the survey area. In addition, a general description of the reef habitat at each station, including the percent composition of reef substrate cover, was recorded. The latter was calculated from 50 observation points that were evenly spaced along a 165-ft transect line located at a depth of 35 ft at each station. Seven general types of cover were used to characterize the reef substrate including Hard Coral, Soft Coral, Coralline Algae, Macroalgae, Turf-Covered Boulders, Coralline-Algal Rubble, and Sand.
