Recovery status of Sea anemones from bleaching event of 2010 in the Andaman waters
|
|
|
Abstract
|
Bleaching of corals can result from the stress induced by a sudden increase in sea surface temperature. Corals in the Andaman Islands were bleached during April to July 2010 due to increase in the temperature. Seaanemones had also bleached in a similar way. The extent and recovery of bleaching in sea anemones has been reported in this paper. About 80–100% recovery hasbeen observed and the bleaching event has been attributed to the suddenincrease in sea surface temperature

Abstract
|
Indo-Pacific coral reefs are considered among the most complex and biodiversified ecosystems in the world. Their existence is threatened by both natural and anthropogenic factors. Therefore, the assessment of anthropogenic disturbances is necessary to protect and manage these marine natural resources. In Bunaken Marine Park (North Sulawesi, Indonesia) epibenthic assemblages and coral rubble features at four impacted sites (each of them located close to villages and frequently exploited as recreational diving spots), and four well preserved sites (far from villages and scarcely frequented by divers), were investigated at 6, 12 and 18 m depth, in order to identify possible reef modifications. The assemblages were sampled by way of photographs. Coral rubble cover was estimated both by way of photographs and along belt transects, while grain size and the living fraction of the coral rubble were assessed by direct samples. The data showed significant differences between the study sites and between depths with regard to human activity. The hard coral cover and the assemblage heterogeneity are higher in control sites than in the impacted site where, especially in shallow water, the mechanical damage can strongly affect the assemblage structure.
The mean percentage of coral rubble cover was significantly higher in the impacted sites, while its living portion was higher in the controls. The fine fraction (0.1–0.5 cm) of coral rubble was more abundant in the impacted sites, coarse fraction (4–8 cm) prevailed at the control sites while intermediate fractions did not show any differences. The three-dimensional structural complexity of the assemblages was reduced in the sites affected by physical disturbances. These results are strongly independent of depth. Human activities, which damage corals and increase coral rubble production, are mainly performed on the reef flat and reef edge but their effects are transferred along the reef wall in depth.

Review of a coral nursery program initiated with community based reef managers in response to the 2010 mass coral bleaching event.
|

|
Abstract
|
During the summer of 2010 the entire South Asia Sea experienced high sea water temperatures, coral reefs all throughout Thailand bleached, many as high as 95-100%, and suffered high rates of subsequent mortality. During this time, the Marine Branch of the Save Koh Tao Group began an adopt-a-reef program to encourage local businesses to take part in the protection of the reefs. After the bleaching event began to subside, the Prince of Songkla University and the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) initiated a coral nursery program, and partnered with the Save Koh Tao Group to put the nurseries in the adopt-a-reef sites. A total of 48 tables were constructed and deployed over the course of a week, with the assistance of local divers and community members. This report discusses the findings and data collected on the two sites managed by the New Heaven Dive School, Chalok Ban Kao and Ao Leuk. The report highlights both the successes and difficulties with the project to aid in the design of future projects around the island.
