CTD, pH and Oxygen Data from Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii 2004-2009 on R/V Kaholo in Support of Carbon Cycle Research (NCEI Accession 0099831)
Coastal oceans are most likely to be impacted by anthropogenic activities because they are typically shallow and have more restricted water circulation than the open ocean. Kaneohe Bay served as a test site to gain insight into aspects of the carbon cycle...
Ma'alaea small boat harbor on the south central coast of Maui is a multi-use facility for recreational and commercial boaters. Originally constructed in 1952 with a single breakwater facing the south and a 12-foot deep entrance channel, it was further enc...
Masking Environmental Feedback: Misfits Between Institutions and Ecosystems in Belize and Thailand
Doctoral thesis which proposes that a lack of ecological knowledge leads to poor ecosystem management, and addresses the need to better understand social-ecological systems and the role humans play in feedback management in their governance systems. Exami...
Community structure, life history, and movement patterns of parrotfishes: Large protogynous fishery species
"Populations of large protogynous coral reef fishes such as parrotfish are diminishing worldwide. Management strategies to mitigate anthropogenic stressors on these fish are hampered by a paucity of basic biological data, and reproductive and population d...
Biological-physical interactions in Pacific coral reef ecosystems
"Coral reefs are some of the most diverse and productive marine ecosystems on earth. They are also among the most threatened by human disturbance. On a local scale, many of these systems are subject to over-fishing and land-based pollution, and on a globa...
Dynamics of sea temperature variability on Florida's reef tract
"Variability in 5- to 25-year records of hourly mean in situ sea temperature, ocean currents, and meteorology at diverse shallow-water habitats in the Florida reef tract (FRT) is analyzed. Tidal, diurnal, and annual periodicities generally dominate sea te...
Grain Size Distribution and Fate of Transplanted Corals at Kawaihae, Hawaii: Field work of 1996-1997 (NODC Accession 0001141)
A harbor expansion was planned in the early 1990s for Kawaihae, Hawaii on the northwest shore of the Big Island. To offset the habitat loss, select corals were transplanted. This study looked at the effects of sedimentation on the transplanted and non-tra...
