Originally constructed in 1952 with a single breakwater facing the south and a 12-foot deep entrance channel, it was further enclosed by the east breakwater in 1958. The harbor entrance opens to the south and is subjected to strong southerly swells that enter the bay. Modification of the harbor is proposed to reduce swell activity responsible for boat damage. In 1968 the United States Congress approved funding for renovations to the existing harbor. The project, however, did not receive funding until 1989. The proposed modification and expansion of the harbor raised concerns about the negative impact on coral reefs in and around the harbor as well as the impact on recreational surfing sites and nearby coastline developments. The scope of work for the report was to: 1. Define and map the extent of various benthic habitats in and around Ma'alaea harbor. These data quantify the amount of coral that would be affected by the proposed harbor expansion. 2. Conduct detailed quantitative transects. Data collected include substrate types, coral cover, coral diversity, fish density and fish diversity. Fish community structure was also characterized in relation to coral coverage and fish trophic groups to examine the effect of harbor modification and expansion on fish populations. 3. Based on these data and prior experience with coral transplantation at other sites, develop recommendations for mitigation measures before, during and after harbor expansion. 4. Include observations on threatened and endangered species habitat within the Ma'alaea area, including the identification of the location and extent of the area known as "Turtle reefs" in relation to the harbor. Purpose: The proposed modification and expansion of the Ma'alaea small boat harbor raised concerns about the negative impact on coral reefs in and around the harbor. Biological impacts include siltation on nearby reefs from dredging operations and physical destruction of the reef habitat during construction of the breakwater and channel entrance. In order to assess habitat loss and potential damage to the adjacent coral reef ecosystem it was necessary to determine the extent and structure of the coral habitat through a series of underwater surveys. This informatio will be used to recommend type and extent of mitigation activity.

Completeness_Report: After each dive, data were transcribed from underwater slates into a notebook for later computer entry. A total of 50 transects in and around the harbor were sampled across 11 days between December 1997 to January 1998. (Actual sampling dates with the raw data are noted in Appendix A(Coral) and B(Fish) of the dataset.) This data was then integrated into contour maps by recording Longitude and Latitude data for the beginning and end of each transect and incorporating the mean percent coral cover for that transect. Surveys were conducted concurrently with the mapping effort. Fish diversity (H') was calculated for each transect using the Shannon and Weaver diversity index formula, where pi is the proportion of the ith species in the population (Pielou, 1966). General comparisons of fish communities could then be made across different regions within the harbor and outside in close proximity. The relationship between coral coverage and the overlying fish community was also examined using regression techniques. A distinction was made between transects inside of the harbor and outside to explore any possible differences associated with altered habitats. Finally fish community structure was analyzed using trophic categories outlined by DeMartini, et. al. (1994) and supplemented by Randall (1996). Each transect was broken down into the trophic guilds by grouping the various fish species into their appropriate feeding categories. The charts and contour maps of the study area, habitat boundaries, and coral coverage were produced using DeltaGraph 4.0 for the PC. Statistical analyses were carried out on the transect data using Minitab and Statistica for the PC.

A series of surveys were conducted on December 15, 1997, January 13, 15, and 16, 1998 using a 4 person team consisting of an observer with a lookbox, data recorder, navigator and vessel operator. The 17.4' (5.3m) vessel traversed transects that followed latitude coordinates established by a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) receiver. Approximately every .01 of a degree in Longitude the following parameters were measured; % sand, % coral rubble, % hard substrate, % coral, and % algae. In addition, the locations of major habitat boundaries were outlined as the vessel moved across the area. At each Latitude/Longitude location, supplemental data was collected on depth (from the depth sounder located on the boat), noteworthy plant and animal species and bottom topography. These data were used to produce a series of contour maps that delineate boundaries for the various types of substrates and identify major concentrations of coral coverage.

Two 25 meter lines were laid out in a parallel arrangement, separated by a 5 meter interval which created a sample area of 125m2 (1,345.5ft2). A rope was used to tether the two divers in order to maintain the 5 meter width for the transect area. Each transect was marked with flagging tape at both ends so that DGPS coordinates could be obtained. After the lines were positioned, the researchers returned to the start of the transect and allowed 5 minutes for the fish to habituate. The first diver proceeded down the transect corridor and recorded the number of every species of fish seen within the transect boundaries. The second diver followed behind and used a 1m2 quadrat to measure coral coverage at the 5, 10, 15 and 20 meter mark. Coral diversity and percent coverage were measured using the point-intercept quadrat method described by Reed (1980). The quadrat was 1m2 in area and consisted of 1" (2.54cm) PVC tubing fitted with nylon line spaced 10 centimeters apart to form a grid with 81 intersections. The quadrat was placed on the substrate at 5 meter intervals and different species of coral/substrate types found underneath each intersection were recorded on underwater slates. Coral species were identified using Reef and Shore Fauna of Hawai'i, Section 1: Protozoa Through Ctenophora by Maragos (1977). Fish population density and species richness were censused using a modified Brock transect method (Brock, 1954). Methodology_Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Paul L.
