Abstract
|
These reefs are on the boundary of the Southeast Asian centre of biodiversity and share
many species and characteristics of reefs in this centre. After serious coral bleaching in
1998, most of the reefs are recovering in Japan and Taiwan, and possibly also in China.
However, more bleaching has occurred in Japan in July - September 2001. The southern
islands of Ryukyus, Japan experienced the most severe coral mortality of the region with
46-69% death. In addition, there appears to be a crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) outbreak
in Okinawa, Kerama and Amami Islands in 2001 and 2002. Sedimentation from terrestrial
run-off is still a major threat to corals in Japan and Taiwan, and mass mortality of Porites
corals caused by soil run-off was observed in 2001. The Japanese government established
an international coral reef centre on Ishigaki Island, in the southern islands of Okinawa in
2000 to facilitate coral reef monitoring, conservation in the region and to act as a Node for
the GCRMN. However, enhanced coordination is needed to build capacity in monitoring
and management for effective coastal resource conservation.
