Inferring trends in a small-scale, data-limited tropical fishery based on fishery-independent data
"Size-based indicators have emerged as useful tools to analyze the status of fisheries which lack fishery dependent data over long time series, such as many coral reef fisheries. In this study, we calculate a number of size-based indicators for the Haitia...
Apparent rapid fisheries escalation at a remote Caribbean island
"Navassa Island is a small uninhabited island, approximately 60 km west of the south-west tip of Haiti (1824'N, 7500'W). Haiti laid claim to the island in 1804, however the USA claimed it under the Guano Act of 1856 and recently placed it under jurisdicti...
Coral disease outbreak at Navassa, a remote Caribbean Island
"In November 2004, a high prevalence of coral disease was observed at several sites around Navassa, an uninhabited Caribbean island between Haiti and Jamaica. At least fifteen mounding and foliaceous scleractinian species were affected with 'white disease...
Rapid Survey of Haitian Fishing Villages Exploiting Resources at Navassa Island
For this project, FoProBiM targeted coastal communities along the Southwestern tip of Haiti located between Les Cayes to the south and Jmie to the north, especially those with fishers frequenting Navassa Island. Research was conducted to determine the num...
This photographic guide was compiled from data collected during the 2004 NOAA survey of the coral reefs of Navassa and does not represent a comprehensive list of all Porifera in Navassa. Specifically missing are taxa that inhabit caves, overhangs, vertica...
Coral mass bleaching and reef temperatures at Navassa Island, 2006
"Bleaching and associated mortality is an extreme threat to the persistence of coral populations in the projected warming regime of the next few decades. Recent evidence indicates that thermal bleaching thresholds may be affected by water quality gradient...
Benthic and habitat data collected on the 2004 cruise to Navassa Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Parameters include benthic cover, coral disease prevalence, location of fishing gear, coral density and sizes. Data were collected in situ by divers, some ...
