Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coral reefs are among Earth's most diverse, productive, and beautiful ecosystems, but until recently, their ecology and the means to manage them have been poorly understood and documented. In response to the inadequate information base for coral reefs, this book reviews the ecological and conservation status of coral reefs of the Western Indian Ocean, bringing together presentations of the region's leading scientists and managers working on coral reefs.Coral Reefs of the Indian Ocean: Their Ecology and Conservation starts with a general overview of the biogeography of the region and a historical account of attempts to conserve this ecosystem. It goes on to describe the state of the reefs in each of the countries with coral reefs, and it concludes with a series of management case studies.The book also summarizes most of the existing ecological information on reefs in this region and efforts at management, making it useful for students, teachers, and investigators interested in tropical or marine ecology, conservation biology and management, and environmental sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To fulfill its mission, CRED conducts a comprehensive suite of integrated, inter - disciplinary research activities, including habitat mapping, oceanographic studies, and long-term monitoring of multiple components of coral reef ecosystems in the U.S. Pacific islands (Fig. 1). CRED conducts biennial Pacific RAMP surveys in each study area to improve our understanding of ecosystem variability over climate time scales ranging from several years to decades and across broad spatial scales ranging from individual islands and atolls to entire archipelagoes and the Pacific Basin. Complementary methods are used to assess benthic community composition and abundance and diversity of invertebrates, algae, and fishes in the context of their benthic habitats and associated oceanographic and water-quality conditions. Using consistent methodologies across ~ 50 U.S. Pacific islands, atolls, and shallow banks enables unprecedented comparative analyses of coral reef ecosystems across diverse gradients of biogeography, environmental conditions, and human uses. Results from Pacific RAMP surveys significantly improve our understanding of ecosystem processes and cause-and- effect mechanisms that influence the status and resilience of coral reefs"--Executive summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protection and sound management of coastal and marine areas are acknowledged as important mechanisms for alleviating poverty in the developing tropics. Tanzania has had considerable practical experience with a diversity of models that rely on private sector partnerships, community co-management regimes, and government-led initiatives for marine protection. 'Blueprint 2050' outlines a vision of what a protected area system could look like in 50 years. It draws on state-of-the-art ecosystem, socioeconomic, financial, and institutional background studies to paint a picture that emphasizes community-based adaptive co-management within a flexible system of eight protected area networks, one of which is the Exclusive Economic Zone. 'Blueprint 2050 is an impressive piece of professional work which addresses the plight of the many communities whose livelihoods depend on Tanzania's marine resources. Environmental conservation, sustainability, efficiency, good governance, and a pro-poor policy stance come out as key issues in pursuit of Tanzania's millennium development goals by these communities.' -- Hon Raphael OS Mollel, Senior Permanent Secretary Vice President's Office, United Republic of Tanzania 'It is my sincere hope that Blueprint 2050 will serve the intended purpose of promoting the devlopment of marine protected areas based on our current policies and legislation.' -- Hon Madam Rahma M Mshangama, Principal Secretary Ministry of Agriculture Natural Resources, Environment and Co-operatives (MANREC), Zanzibar

Book excerpt: "This document is intended as a reference and provides guidelines for training, sampling, and data entry for the monitoring of reef fish populations as part of the Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (Pacific RAMP) led by the Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED) of the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center. The standard operating procedures outlined in this report apply to the Pacific RAMP surveys that CRED and its partners conduct in the coral reef ecosystems of ~ 50 primary islands, atolls, and shallow banks in the Hawaiian Archipelago (including the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument), the Mariana Archipelago (Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, including the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument), American Samoa, and the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument (Wake, Johnston, Palmyra, and Kingman Atolls and Howland, Baker, and Jarvis Islands). As part of CRED's ecosystem assessment and long-term monitoring efforts, reef fishes and the benthic habitat are surveyed at Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) sites selected using a stratified random sampling design. The details of the methods employed are outlined here"--Introduction.
Download or read book Climate Change and Coastal Resources in Tanzania written by Pius Zebhe Yanda and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-06 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume synthesizes research from a five year program supported by the Norwegian Agency for Development to assess how coastal communities in Tanzania can adapt to climate change impacts such as sea level rise, and better assert their rights to implement decisions regarding coastal resource management in the context of global climate change. Throughout ten chapters, the book deploys a holistic approach to adopt a conceptual model of socio-ecological systems, and characterize human-nature interactions in an integrative way to understand anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems to guide conservation and management. The book will be of interest to researchers, students studying environmental management and climate change, planners, and policy makers. The book begins by describing the biophysical and socio-economic characteristics of the Tanzanian coastal environment, then discusses the impacts of climate change on coastal resource governance, community vulnerability, and livelihood security. Then, intervention strategies are offered as a means for local communities to not only adapt to climate change impacts, but also to engage in decision-making processes to assess vulnerabilities and address challenges and limitations through educated measures. The final chapters discuss the vulnerability and adaptation of coastal communities to climate change impacts to assess how livelihoods are constructed in response to impacts, and summarize the key findings to determine the best adaptation strategies to improve adaptive capacity and reduce socio-economic vulnerability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Coastal and Estuarine Studies, Volume 61. The effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and related climate change on shallow coral reefs are gaining considerable attention for scientific and economic reasons worldwide. Although increased scientific research has improved our understanding of the response of coral reefs to climate change, we still lack key information that can help guide reef management. Research and monitoring of coral reef ecosystems over the past few decades have documented two major threats related to increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2: (1) increased sea surface temperatures and (2) increased seawater acidity (lower pH). Higher atmospheric CO2 levels have resulted in rising sea surface temperatures and proven to be an acute threat to corals and other reef-dwelling organisms. Short periods (days) of elevated sea surface temperatures by as little as 1–2°C above the normal maximum temperature has led to more frequent and more widespread episodes of coral bleaching-the expulsion of symbiotic algae. A more chronic consequence of increasing atmospheric CO2 is the lowering of pH of surface waters, which affects the rate at which corals and other reef organisms secrete and build their calcium carbonate skeletons. Average pH of the surface ocean has already decreased by an estimated 0.1 unit since preindustrial times, and will continue to decline in concert with rising atmospheric CO2. These climate-related Stressors combined with other direct anthropogenic assaults, such as overfishing and pollution, weaken reef organisms and increase their susceptibility to disease.
