Linking Land and Sea Through an Ecological-Economic Model of Coral Reef Recreation
Coastal zones are popular recreational areas that substantially contribute to social welfare. Managers can use information about specific environmental features that people value, and how these might change under different management scenarios, to spatial...
Local Biomass Baselines and the Recovery Potential for Hawaiian Coral Reef Fish Communities
Understanding the influence of multiple ecosystem drivers, both natural and anthropogenic, and how they vary across space is critical to the spatial management of coral reef fisheries. In Hawaii, as elsewhere, there is uncertainty with regards to how area...
Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program. Fish monitoring brief : Jarvis Island time trends, 2008 - 2017
The NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center conducts the long-term Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (Pacific RAMP) to track the status and trends of coral reef ecosystems of the U.S. Pacific Islands. This summary brief provides an over...
Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program. Data report : ecological monitoring 2014 : stationary point count surveys of reef fishes and benthic habitats of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, Mariana Islands, and Wake Atoll
This report summarizes a subset of the reef fish and benthic survey data collected by the Coral Reef Ecosystem Division for Pacific RAMP and for compatible PMNM, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and CRCP survey missions in 2014. Over that time per...
Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program. Data report : ecological monitoring 2016 : reef fishes and benthic habitats of the main Hawaiian Islands, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, Pacific Remote Island Areas, and American Samoa
This report summarizes the reef fish survey data and a subset of the benthic data collected by the Coral Reef Ecosystem Program for Pacific RAMP and for compatible PMNM, NMFS and CRCP survey missions in 2016. During 2016, surveys were conducted in the fol...
Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program. Data report : ecological monitoring 2017 : reef fishes and benthic habitats of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, and the Mariana Archipelago
This report summarizes the reef fish survey data and a subset of the benthic data collected by the ESD for Pacific RAMP and for compatible PMNM, NMFS and CRCP survey missions in 2017. During 2017, surveys were conducted in the following regions: Northwest...

The Mobilization of Science and Technology Fisheries Innovations towards an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management in the Coral Triangle and Southeast Asia
"Several regional fisheries and marine conservation organizations in the Coral Triangle (CT) and Southeast Asia have indicated their support for an ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM). It is also likely that science and technology (S&T) ...
A Collaboration to Assess the Status and Trends of Key Target Fish Families in Hawaii
Historically, local and federal fisheries management agencies have been challenged in establishing long-lasting collaborations concerning the status of Hawaii’s reef fish. This is not due to a lack of interest, but instead, due to the inherent difficulty ...
Translating resilience-based management theory to practice for coral bleaching recovery in Hawai‘i
More frequent and severe coral bleaching events are prompting managers to seek practical interventions to promote ecosystem resilience. Although resilience-based management is now well established theoretically, there have been few examples of implementat...
