BIOLOGY 254 COURSE OUTLINE Coral Reef Ecology This two-hour course is given on Roatan Island, Honduras. We use the facilities of the Institute of Marine Studies that is associated with Anthony's Key Resort. Our daily schedule will need to be flexible due to weather and vehicle availability. We envision a minimum of nine contact hours per day, except Sundays (six contact hours). Typically the day will be divided into three parts: mornings which will be spent snorkeling/diving, and in the afternoons we will study physiology and evenings we will either be in the laboratory or snorkeling/diving. Students stay in cabins on a hillside with an ocean view, four students to a cabin. Meals are served in an open-air balcony overlooking the ocean. The food is very good!! Just ask students who have gone before. All diving is from a boat and we are always accompanied by a dive master. Most guests come to Anthony's for the diving (and I expect food and atmosphere too) and the dive operation there is well run by experienced professionals. You can visit them now at Anthony's Key Resort . Some years we have taken trips to the mainland for white-water rafting or hiking through a rainforest.

Coral Reef Ecology (Biology 481) Coral Reef Ecology is an international field course designed to introduce students to one of the most fragile and diverse tropical ecosystems in the world the CORAL REEFS . This two week course, taught by Dr. Edward W. Burkett, explores the diverse and rich flora and fauna of the coral reefs of Cozumel, Mexico or Caye Caulker, Belize. Using SCUBA and snorkeling, students will observe the beauty and complexity of coral reefs, while learning to identify hundreds of species of scleractinian corals, octocorals, fishes, sponges, other marine invertebrates, and algae. Each evening lectures include such topics as Origins of Coral Reefs, Biotic Composition of Coral Reefs, Coral Anatomy and Physiology, Coral Reef Productivity and Growth, Coral Reef Conservation and more. To enhance this exciting field experience all students participate in a self-designed class research experience using techniques currently used by coral biologists around the world.

Kenya’s fringing reef Climate change and reef ecology An ongoing study is examining the changes in the algal symbionts that live in corals associated with background and changing water temperatures. Samples are being monitored quarterly in Kenya and collected along geographic and environmental gradients in many regions of the world. Samples are being stored for future analyses and developing a global database on coral symbionts. A study of symbiont taxa in regions with different background and without bleaching found that Symbiodinium Clade D is the dominant taxa in reefs with high temperatures and histories of coral bleaching. This symbiont group may reduce the level of mortality in reefs with climate change and these studies will provide insight into the resilience of corals. Response to background temperatures Porites and Stylophora and relative increase in massive Porites and Favia .

Home Page Index Comments Reefbase A global database of coral reef systems and their resources Last updated 31 May 1996 A global database on coral reefs, ReefBase, is being released in June/July, 1996 by the Manila-based International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) . The ReefBase Version 1.0 CD-ROM is the preliminary result of our efforts to summarize available knowledge about coral reefs in a simple, compact package. ReefBase has been created for scientists, academics, students, resource managers in government and private institutions, divers and other coral reef enthusiasts. It is designed to be run on fast 486 or Pentium PC's. Coral reefs, the marine equivalents of tropical rain forests, are under threat in many parts of the world as a result of habitat degradation, over-exploitation and, possibly, global climate change. Although fragile, coral reefs are highly productive and can support high levels of sustained fishing if the fishing is sensibly regulated. If they are in good condition, they also have great value as tourist attractions. In many parts of the world these economic benefits are being eroded by siltation from poor land management, nutrient enrichment from sewage, other forms of pollution, destructive fishing practices, and intensive use by tourists. However, the magnitudes of these impacts are largely undetermined and undocumented. Basic questions such as "what is the total area of coral reefs in the world?" and "what is the contribution of reefs to the world's fisheries?" are still unanswered.

97. Coral Reef Bleaching Ecological causes of coral bleaching. As coral reef bleaching is a general response to stress, it can be induced by a variety of factors, http://www.marinebiology.org/coralbleaching.htm

presents Coral Reef Bleaching by Jason Buchheim Director, Odyssey Expeditions Coral reef bleaching, the whitening of diverse invertebrate taxa, results from the loss of symbiotic zooxantheallae and/or a reduction in photosynthetic pigment concentrations in zooxanthellae residing within scleractinian corals. Coral reef bleaching is caused by various anthropogenic and natural variations in the reef environment including sea temperature, solar irradiance, sedimentation, xenobiotics, subaerial exposure, inorganic nutrients, freshwater dilution, and epizootics. Coral bleaching events have been increasing in both frequency and extent worldwide in the past 20 years. Global climate change may play a role in the increase in coral bleaching events, and could cause the destruction of major reef tracts and the extinction of many coral species. Introduction Coral reefs are found in circumtropical shallow tropical waters along the shores of islands and continents. The reef substrate is mainly composed of calcium carbonate from living and dead scleractinian corals. Many other invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants live in close association to the scleractinian corals, with tight resource coupling and recycling, allowing coral reefs to have extremely high productivity and biodiversity, such that they are referred to as ‘the Tropical Rainforests of the Oceans’. Corals live in very nutrient poor waters and have certain zones of tolerance to water temperature, salinity, UV radiation, opacity, and nutrient quantities.

98. Caribbean Coral Reef Ecosystems (CCRE) The Caribbean coral Reef Ecosystems (CCRE) program has its roots in a collaborative field Cultural Diversity and Indigenous Ecological Knowledge http://www.mnh.si.edu/biodiversity/ccre.htm

Caribbean Coral Reef Ecosystems (CCRE) Carrie Bow Cay, Belize History Carrie Bow Cay Facilities Focal Research Areas History The Caribbean Coral Reef Ecosystems (CCRE) program has its roots in a collaborative field research project conceived by six National Museum of Natural History scientists during the early 1970s. This initial group of Smithsonian researchers represented several major disciplines that are essential in the study of reef ecology: invertebrate and vertebrate zoology, botany, carbonate geology, and paleobiology. The immediate aim was the synoptic investigations of Caribbean coral reefs. Since it was expected that comparative studies would eventually be carried into other coastal environments, the original program was named Investigations of Marine Shallow Water Ecosystems (IMSWE). Program logistics and financial constraints made it advisable to establish a field station in one representative location rather than travel as a group to different places to carry out studies. After a number of dive surveys conducted by us and colleagues from other institutions, we chose the barrier reef of Belize. This reef complex turned out to be the most diverse in structure, habitat types, and animal and plant species of all locations examined. It could also be considered the most pristine system, with only minimal disturbances from the distant land mass, such as silting and run-off of nutrients and pollutants, and only moderate fishing activities by natives and a few tourists.

The aim of the Foundation is (1) to monitor the health of coral reefs worldwide, (2) to develop the technique of monitoring coral reefs using satellite imagery, and (3) to provide the technology for restoration of coral reef ecosystems where and when possible. Under the direction of Dr. Phil Dustan (coral reef ecologist at the College of Charleston) and with the participation of scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, NASA/AMES, and The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Planetary Coral Reef Foundation is launching a ten year program (2000 - 2010) to establish a means to study coral reefs, using, for the first time, satellite imagery. Coral reef sites from around the world will be studied by a ground support field research team, and compared with simultaneous images taken by satellites. Scientists and Advisors Dr. Sylvia Earle
