The most widely used approach to sensitive environment mapping in the U.S. is NOAA's Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI). This approach systematically compiles information in standard formats for coastal shoreline sensitivity, biological resources, and ...
ResourceNatural and anthropogenic events influence the soundscapes of four bays on Hawaii Island
The soundscapes of four bays along the Kona Coast of Hawaii Island were monitored between January 2011 and March 2013. Equivalent, unweighted sound pressure levels within standard 1/3rd-octave bands (dB re: 1 μPa) were calculated for each recording. Sound...
ResourceDesign and Parameterization of a Spatially Explicit Atlantis Ecosystem Model for Puget Sound
Our model is based on the Atlantis framework. It is a three-dimensional model of Puget Sound that simulates every component of the marine ecosystem, from bacteria to killer whales. Atlantis produces forecasts of changes in the system under different scena...
ResourceDisease and outplant monitoring
The Florida Reef tract is experiencing a prolonged outbreak of coral disease (Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease; SCTLD) that affects nearly half the coral species found here. Concurrently, restoration practitioners are scaling up their efforts. This include...
ResourceNear-real-time in situ sea temperature monitoring to improve Coral Reef Watch predictions and support Mission: Iconic Reefs
The project involves the installment of accurate and reliable in situ temperature buoys at each of the Mission:Iconic Reef sites to allow monitoring of bleaching heat stress in near real time at a spatial scale that is needed to support restoration activi...
ResourceWhat evidence exists on the performance of nature-based solutions interventions for coastal protection in biogenic, shallow ecosystems? A systematic map protocol
Anthropogenic pressures and climate change threaten the capacity of ecosystems to deliver a variety of services, including protecting coastal communities from hazards like flooding and erosion. Human interventions aim to buffer against or overcome these t...
