Symposium Papers
The ITMEMS symposia provide an opportunity for coral reef managers to share experiences and lessons learned, through multi-disciplinary consideration of management-related case studies and to identify gaps and priorities for future action to manage tropical marine ecosystems.
ReefBase hosts digital copies of the various papers presented at the 2nd ITMEMS, and this page provides access to them. You may search by author, words in the title, keywords, or by theme.

Abstract
|
Selection of areas for protection within coral reef MPAs could benefit from a better
understanding of factors that confer resistance to coral bleaching and mortality. Suggested factors include regional oceanographic settings and local topography that promote local cooling of the water, and the species and genotypic composition of the local coral/zooxanthellae community. We assessed the 2002 bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef and Coal Sea in light of these suggestions. The aims of the study were both to understand how factors interacted to promote areas of good survival in the Great Barrier Reef, and to develop effective scientific process and approach that could be applied
elsewhere and promulgated through a toolkit for MPA practitioners, being developed by The Nature Conservancy. We assembled a very strong data-set, including: our ecological and taxonomic assessments over about half the length of the Great Barrier Reef; daily remote sensed sea surface temperatures (SST) for the summer of 2001-2; historical SST data; oceanographic data; bathymetry. All were managed within AIMS Geographic Information System. We used a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) as a framework to codify some prior beliefs and investigate dependencies among a series of proxies for the potential drivers and
responses of bleaching: the remotely sensed environmental stress (sea surface temperature - SST); the geographic setting; and topographic and ecological attributes of reef sites for which we had field data on bleaching impact. Sensitivity analyses helped us to refine and update our beliefs in a manner that improved our capacity to hindcast areas of high and low bleaching impact. Our best predictive capacity came by combining proxies for a site’s heat stress in 2002 (remotely sensed), acclimatization temperatures (remote sensed), the ease with which it could be cooled by tidal mixing (modelled), and type of coral community present at a sample of survey sites (field data).
