Study sites included areas fronting resort development, active and inactive sewage outfalls, and an area where there is no anthropogenic activity, but has been subjected to a variety of storm events. At the only site within a semi-enclosed embayment, erosion from surrounding pineapple fields resulted in a decrease in living coral. Such periodic sedimentation in the Bay drives a cycle of damage and recovery that results in coral community structure different than other sheltered embayments in Hawaii. At the other five sites, located in open coastal waters, coral community structure was not adversely affected by shoreline development or discharge of treated sewage effluent. Long-term studies of pristine reefs under natural stress from episodic storms indicate that recovery along the successional continuum varies with time in the different reef zones. The results of these studies provide a framework for effective and efficient coral reef management in Hawaii. Understanding patterns of natural and man-induced stress and recovery can provide a good model for management strategies, as anthropogenic impacts are superimposed over natural stresses. Our results provide good evidence that management efforts should be concentrated in embayments and areas with restricted circulation. Because such areas comprise less than 10% of the coastal areas, it is concluded that the overall condition of coral reefs in Hawaii is good, and should remain so. While concerns of catastrophic loss from anthropogenic impact to coral reefs are valid in some areas of the world, they do not accurately depict the overall health of coral reefs in Hawaii.

A 50-m long transect tape was first paid out along the bottom oriented perpendicular to the shoreline at a constant depth. Care was taken to place transects in "random" locations that were unbiased with regard to coral cover. A rectangular quadrat frame with dimensions of 1-m x 0.66-m was sequentially placed over ten random marks on the transect tape so that the tape bisects the long axis of the frame. The frame is fitted with four legs, which support a small platform on which a Nikonos camera with a super-wide angle lens (15 mm, 94\227 field of view) is mounted. At each mark, a color photograph was taken recording the segment of reef area enclosed by the quadrat frame. Mounting the camera on the frame ensures exact repeatability of quadrat area. This photographic methodology provides excellent resolution of the detail of the benthic community structure, to the degree that calices of individual corals are distinguishable. The photo-quadrat method also provides a permanent record in the form of photographs. In addition to the photo-quadrats, diver-investigators with knowledge of the taxonomy of resident species (S.Dollar, R. Grigg) visually estimate, and record on waterproof data sheets, the percent cover of corals, algae and barren substrata (i.e., sand, limestone, rubble) enclosed within the each quadrat frame. In the laboratory, area coverage of each component of bottom cover in the quadrat photographs is then determined using an overlay grid divided into 200 equally sized segments. The number of segments of each benthic species and substratum type within each grid is summed to calculate area coverage. Thus, for each transect, there is the equivalent of 2,000 data points that in sum contain data on 100% of the area of each quadrat. Species identification is verified using the "ground truth" information collected in the field. The field data identifications are particularly useful for small and rare organisms. Hence, the method gives accurate estimates of abundance of both common and rare (inconspicuous) organisms. Because virtually 100% of the coverage of each quadrat becomes part of the data record, no information is lost. Few other methods provide for such accurate characterization of benthic community structure. Video transects, for example, which use tabulations of random point intercepts to determine quantitative aspects of reef structure utilize a very small area, even when large areas of reef are surveyed. Hence, they do not give an equally accurate determination of large-scale coral cover or accurate representations of small and rare species. Results of the photo-quadrats and in-situ cover estimates were used to calculate indices of community structure, abundance and distribution (e.g., percent cover, number of species) and species cover diversity (H'c) (Pielou 1966). Because each quadrat is a replicate each transect contains 10 samples. The nonparametric Wilcox on matched-pairs signed-rank test was used to test for significance between transects in both space and time (Siegal 1956).
