Introduction
Guam's coral reef resources are both economically and culturally important to the residents of Guam. It provides numerous goods and services that support Guam's culture and traditions, tourism and recreation, fisheries, and shoreline and infrastructure protection. Approximately I 08 km2 of shallow coral reef area is found within 3 miles of Guam, with an additional II 0 km2 occurring between 3 and 200 miles. As a result of Guam's local law creating five Marine Preserves to combat fishery declines, the fish stocks in the preserves have increased significantly. Despite the critical importance of Guam's coral reefs to many aspects of life on Guam, the island's reef still remain under assault from a sedimentation from upland soil erosion, stormwater runoff and associated pollutants, marine debris, coral bleaching, coral disease, 1 recreational misuse, climate change or severe weather condition, and more •
The Bureau of Statistics and Plans, the Governor of Guam's Point of Contact agency for coral reef conservation activities, continues to take the lead of promoting awareness to the importance of coral reef ecosystem to the island community and to work collaborative with public and private sectors, non-profit organizations, businesses, and educational institutes to encourage best management practices of coral reef conservation efforts. The project tasks being requested for funding will support the coral reef management and monitoring programs and conservation proJects that will improve the condition of the coral reef ecosystem resources in Guam.
Programmatic Activities
With the funding opportunity provided under the FY 2015-FY 2016, the Bureau of Statistics and Plans can continue to support critical staff (Monitoring Coordinator, Technical Support Specialist, Monitoring Assistants, and Field Personnel), monitoring supplies and contractual services for boat rental, dive equipment and supply rental that are essential to continue Guam's Comprehensive Long Term Monitoring Program that is being implemented by the University of Guam Marine Laboratory; to continue to support critical staff (Watershed Coordinator - Biologist II), and office supplies at BSP to continue to implement watershed efforts and outreach efforts; and to hire critical staff support (Coral Reef Initiative Coordinator - Management Analyst III or Planner III or Program Coordinator II) and supplies to implement, and coordinate the active and new NOAA CRCP grants, to lead the update of Guam's Local Action Strategy and Guam's Coral Reef Management Priorities.
Table I illustrates the resources need to continue implementation of the local coral reef management program and support for key programmatic staff.

In addition, the funding opportnnity will address one research project that will help improve the management of Guam's coral reef ecosystems. The research project will build on some previous work funded by NOAA through Guam-BSP and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that attempted to identify reef fish spawning aggregation sites on Guam. The current site was identified during one of those studies. Continued work on spawning aggregations in Guam's waters, and in particular at Finger Reef, where more than 15 species of wrasses reproduce at this resident spawning aggregation site, will help us to understand the dynamics of reproduction that contributes towards the strncturing of fish communities that support local fisheries. Because this site is also impacted by tourist activities, this study will help us understand how various factors contribute to or limit reproductive success of the species that attempt to spawn there. This information is useful to resource managers in that they can devise and implement strategies to better manage spawning aggregation sites so as to promote stable and productive fish stocks.
Furthermore, the funding opportnnity will ensure BSP has the resources to continue to conduct education and outreach to increase awareness the community knowledge of Guam's Coral Reef Ecosystem.

Task 1: Comprehensive Long-Term Monitoring at Permanent Sites in Guam Project is supported in jurisdictional and CRCP Priorities
Guam Objective 3.2: Develop and implement comprehensive monitoring of water quality and coral reef ecosystem parameters within watersheds targeted for watershed restoration, with a focus on evaluating the effectiveness of watershed restoration efforts implemented as compensatory mitigation for impacts to coral reef resources.
Project Summary:
This proposal is for the continued ftmding of Guam's comprehensive long-term coral reef monitoring program. This on-going project involves the long-term monitoring of a suite of coral reef ecosystem health parameters at high priority sites around Guam. Data collection began in 2009 and since then data has been collected at four sites, with the establishment of three additional sites planned for late 2014 and early 2015. The program's comprehensive approach to ecological monitoring, combined with the high density of samples within a given site, provide unique data critical to understanding changes in condition at these high priority sites and for the effective management of these areas. The current proposal also includes continued support for the closely-related reef flat monitoring program carried out by Dr. Laurie Raymundo, an effort which has tracked changes in the health status of Guam's reef flat coral communities since 2005.
Project Description, Background and Justification
Comprehensive Long-term Coral Reef Monitoring Program While Guam's reefs have been the subject of numerous studies, until the establishment of this program there has not been a continuous coral reef monitoring program that comprehensively addresses benthic habitat, water quality, and associated biological communities at high priority reef areas. This lack of baseline information has limited managers' ability to evaluate natural and anthropogenic impacts to Guam's reefs and to gauge the effectiveness of management activities at the scale of individual sites. In order to address this major gap, the Government of Guam natural resource agencies, with the assistance of the University of Guam Marine Laboratory and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Islands Regional Office (NOAA PIRO), developed a long term monitoring strategy aimed at addressing the management needs of local resource agencies and the objectives set by the National Coral Reef Ecosystem Monitoring Program (NCREMP). A monitoring coordinator was hired in January 2007 to further develop and implement the monitoring strategy. While obstacles have been presented in the procurement of equipment, supplies, and a private boat charter, and despite a period ofmaj or transition of the program from the Bureau of Statistics and Plans to the University of Guam Marine Lab, progress continues to be made in addressing these obstacles, and a considerable amount of field work has been conducted since ftmding first became available. A large amount of baseline data for a number of key ecosystem health parameters is now available for several high priority reef areas that are currently the focus of a number of management actions aimed at improving reef health. Subsequent data collection at these reef areas, including the incorporation of water quality monitoring, will provide critical information to managers about the effectiveness of management efforts, and will alert managers to emerging threats that may not otherwise be detected.
Data collection began in June 2009, with initial surveys targeting the Tumon Bay Marine Preserve. In 20 I 0, a more extensive data collection effort was carried out along a portion of the Tumon Bay outer reef slope and an equivalent area along the outer reef slope in East Agana Bay; benthic cover, coral size/condition, reef fish community, and macroinvertebrate connnunity surveys were conducted at 20
8
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 sampling stations within each site. In 2011, benthic cover, coral size/condition, reef fish, and macroinvertebrate surveys were conducted at 23 sampling stations at Western Shoals, Apra Harbor, and in 2012 baseline benthic cover, coral size/condition, fish, and macroinvertebrate surveys were carried out at 20 sampling stations in Piti Bay and benthic cover, coral size/condition, and macroinvertebrate surveys were carried out at 21 sampling stations in Tumon Bay and 10 stations in East Agana Bay. In 2014 benthic cover, coral size/condition, and macroinvertebrate surveys were carried out at all 12 permanent sampling stations in Tumon Bay and at all I 0 permanent stations in East Agana Bay. Benthic cover, coral size/condition, fish, and macroinvertebrate surveys have recently been completed at 6 permanent and one non-permanent sampling station in Piti Bay, with data collection at the remaining stations planned before the end of October 2014.
In 2013, the monitoring coordinator contributed a significant amount of time to the organization and implementation of a coral bleaching response effort. Between August and October of 2013 the coral reefs of Guam and other Southern Mariana Islands experienced a significant bleaching event associated with anomalously high sea surface temperatures and an extended period of calm weather. A University of Guam Marine Lab-led effort to document the event's scale and severity generated a significant amount of quantitative coral and benthic substrate composition data, along with semi-quantitative coral community data, for 48 shallow (3-5 m) reef front sites selected randomly from around the island. The majority of sites were coincident with sites at which NOAA CRED carried out reef fish surveys in 20 II. The monitoring coordinator presented the results of a preliminary analysis of data collected during this effort at the 2014 Asia-Pacific Coral Reef Symposium (APCRS) in Taiwan. The aim of the study was to describe the benthic communities of Guam's reef front zone for the first time using quantitative benthic cover data, to compare the benthic communities of the reef front and the lower slope, and to better understand the factors that most influence the structure and condition of these systems. A UOG Marine Lab graduate student also presented the preliminary results of his analysis of the data, which focused more on the differential impacts of the bleaching event on reef front communities around the island.
Reef Flat Monitoring Program As described in previous proposals UOGML's reef flat monitoring program began in part in 2005 as part of coral disease assessment and monitoring work funded through a NOAA Coral Reef Monitoring Grant. Coral health monitoring continued at a subset of the reef sites initially assessed. Two of the sites selected for continued monitoring, Tumon Bay and Luminao Reef, were included in a reef flat monitoring project funded by a NOAA Global Coral Reef Monitoring Program grant that investigated the impacts of the extension and repair of two sewage outfalls. The Reef Flat Monitoring Program currently involves quarterly data collection at seven reef flat sites that extend along the western coast of Guam from Haputo Bay in the north to Luminao Reef in central Guam. The program has provided important, detailed information about trends in coral community health, and places particular attention on coral diseases, predators, bleaching and other coral health concerns and the relationship with water temperature and nutrients. The data generated through the reef flat monitoring program provides a strong complement to the data collected at the outer reef slope sites targeted with the long-term monitoring program, particularly at locations, such as Tumon Bay and Piti Bay, where the need for regular monitoring data for both the reef flat and outer reef slope communities is concurrently addressed through these two monitoring programs. The reef flat monitoring program provides information to managers for a critical, dynamic, yet vulnerable reef zone, and is an essential component of a comprehensive coral reef monitoring strategy.
Project Description
The updated long-term coral reef monitoring plan for Guam is currently being implemented, with limited data collection occurring in 2009 and more extensive data collection carried out in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014. The fundamental sampling design and survey protocols have been adopted and implemented, but they remain subject to change as better methods and equipment become available.
9
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 The primary goals of the updated Guam Coral Reef Monitoring Plan are the following:
• To determine the statns and trends in selected coral reef ecosystem indicators to better inform the resource managers' decision making process and increase the effectiveness of natnral resource management on Guam. • To provide managers with early notice of abnormal conditions of selected resources to encourage effective mitigation measures and reduce the costs of management. • To provide data to better understand the dynamic natnre and condition of the island's coastal ecosystems. • To allow natnral resource agencies to meet certain legal and Congressional mandates related to coastal resource protection. • To measure progress towards performance goals.
A list of specific questions raised by managers that are being addressed by the long-term monitoring program to the fullest extent possible can be viewed in previous proposals.
Primary Objectives The monitoring program collects data about a number of important parameters related to ecosystem health. These parameters are grouped into three categories: water quality, benthic habitat, and associated biological communities. The parameters identified for Guam are provided below, with parameters currently being monitored in bold:
Water Quality: Benthic Habitat Assoc. Biological Communities • Temperature • Benthic % Cover • Reef Fish Abundance and • Turbidity • Coral Colony Size Biomass • Dissolved Oxygen • Coral Colony Density • Reef Fish Diversity • pH • Coral Condition • Protected Species • Conductivity • Rugosity • Abundance of Ecologically • Chlorophyll • Macroalgae diversity and Commercially • Nutrients (P, N) • Coral Colony Growth Rates Important • Bacteria • Macroalgae biomass Macroinvertebrates Macroinvertebrate diversity
Water quality parameters and a few biological parameters have not yet been incorporated into field surveys. Water quality parameters are especially important to the program and will commence upon the deployment of multi-parameter datasondes, which will occur once the full-time technical support position is filled (early 2015). While temperatnre loggers were installed in the Tuman, East Agana, and Piti sites in 2014, the multiparameter datasondes have not yet been used due to the expiration of several calibration solutions. These solutions have recently been procured using re-programmed CRCP funds.
Benefits and Feasibility of the Proposed Project The data collected from coordinated monitoring activities provide a baseline of coral reef condition at several high priority reef areas around the island, and subsequent monitoring informs managers of trends in various ecosystem health parameters. This data is critical in informing management decisions and in assessing the effectiveness of management actions.
The development and implementation of the comprehensive monitoring strategy has strengthened partnerships between participating agencies and has resulted in a more coordinated, efficient approach to
10
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 monitoring the health of Guam's coral reef resources. The core monitoring team consists of personnel from the UOGML and NOAA PIRO, with occasional participation by biologists with the Dept. of Agriculture's Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources (DAWR) and the Guam Environmental Protection Agency (GEPA).
Several data sets generated through the long-term monitoring program currently reside in a relational database accessible through a web-based data entry portal, a system developed by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED) and BSP. The monitoring data management system has significantly improved the management of the large amount of coral reef monitoring data generated by the long-term monitoring program. Development of the data management system will continue through 2015 and 2016, with the inclusion of additional data sets generated by the long-tenn monitoring program, as well as data generated by the NOAA PIRO-supported Guam Community Coral Reef Monitoring Program and the UOGML Reef Flat Monitoring Program. An online data distribution application will also be developed, significantly improving access of the data by end users. To facilitate broader awareness of the available data sets, metadata have been developed for the coral quadrat, fish, and macroinvertebrate datasets by NOAA CRED and the monitoring coordinator and will be posted to CoRIS by November 2014. Metadata for additional datasets will be developed in 2015.
The results of data analyses are summarized in periodic reports made available to the public, such as the report released in December 2011 entitled "Comprehensive long-term monitoring at permanent sites on Guam: A report of program status and presentation of preliminary baseline data and power analyses results for the Tumon Bay, East Agana Bay, and Western Shoals sites" and the report released in December 2012 entitled "Comprehensive long-term monitoring at permanent sites on Guam: 2012 status report." General information about the program is currently provided with newsletter articles, online videos, and blog posts; a portion of the Guam Coral Reef Initiative website (http://guamcoralreefcom) or a stand-alone website will be dedicated to the monitoring program, and will provide a clearinghouse of reports, articles, videos, and other content related to the monitoring program. Web links to a few examples of outreach materials generated by monitoring team members and by others who wished to highlight the work of the monitoring team can be found in the previous grant proposal. Once hired, the full-time technical support staff will be able to significantly enhance the program's outreach capacity.
With the availability of data from three site visits for the Tumon Bay and East Agana Bay sites and baseline data for several other sites, a major report is planned for release towards the end of 2015. This report will include a detailed description of the baseline condition of the newly-established sites, a description of changes in key ecosystem condition parameters for the Tumon Bay and East Agana sites between 2010 and 2014, a description of potential causes of any changes observed in these parameters and relevance to coral reef management, and suggestions for management activities that could address issues identified through monitoring program efforts.
Raw data collected through the monitoring program are provided upon request to resource agencies, research teams, and others. For example, all coral quadrat observational data was provided to a NOAA PIRO contractor who was tasked with developing a database of the known locations of the ESA-listed coral species and other species of interest. Several data sets generated by the long-term monitoring program as well as by a major coral bleaching response effort to which monitoring teanrstaffwere major contributors will be utilized in an important study led by Jeffrey Maynard (and for which the monitoring coordinator will be a Co-PI) aimed at assessing the resiliency of Guam's reefs and communicating the results to fishers and other stakeholders, should that study receive funding. Anecdotal reports and the results of preliminary analyses of data obtained through monitoring program activities are also presented to resource agency staff at relevant multi-partner meetings and communicated via email, telephone conversations, and in-person in an effort to provide up-to-date information on the status of Guam's reef resources.
11
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 The long-term monitoring program continues to contribute to local monitoring capacity through the continued employment of a monitoring coordinator and the rotating employment of three part-time monitoring assistants. Thus far, the program has provided part-time employment for a total of nine graduate students from the University of Guam Marine Laboratory. Participation in the long-term monitoring program has provided these individuals with a wide range of experiences, and a level and quality of participation in sampling design, protocol development, procurement, data collection, and data analysis that most have not previously experienced.
The UOGML reef flat monitoring program will continue to provide detailed information about the condition of coral communities on key reef flat sites along the western coast of Guam, focusing primarily on the effect of temperature and nutrients on coral disease, bleaching, and other coral health concerns. The focus on reef flat sites, the detailed coral condition data, and the greater temporal resolution make this program a strong supplement to the long-term monitoring program. The multiple years of data collected through the reef flat monitoring program are currently being organized in an Access database, and will soon be migrated to the Guam Monitoring Data Management System. Some preliminary results will be presented in an end-of-the-grant report in December 2014, but a more comprehensive analysis of the copious data will take place in 2015, the results of which are planned for presentation in a peer reviewed publication.
Methods The strategy for the comprehensive long-term monitoring of priority reef areas has six main components: Coordination, Training, Site Establishment, Site Monitoring, Data Analysis, and Reporting.
Coordination A Monitoring Coordinator was hired in 2007 to coordinate monitoring efforts carried out by local and federal agencies/institutions as well as to supervise and participate in the design, data collection, data analysis, and reporting efforts associated with the long monitoring of several permanent sites around the island. This individual facilitates communication between monitoring entities, supervises three monitoring assistants, coordinates training and calibration sessions prior to each field season, schedules and participates in core monitoring activities, coordinates and carries out data management activities, conducts data analyses, compiles reports, and produces outreach materials. The coordinator also assists local resource agencies with resource assessments through assistance with planning and participation in field surveys.
Training Capacity building continues to be a top priority for the GCRMG. In order to collect quality data, all monitoring personnel are trained in the appropriate survey methods and calibrated in order to minimize observer bias. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) have been developed for each of the survey techniques and are updated as necessary. These SOPs are provided to all of the personnel working on the monitoring program or using the data, and serve to improve continuity and consistency between current and future observers.
Site Selection The high priority reef areas currently targeted for long-term monitoring include Tumon Bay, East Agana Bay, Western Shoals (Apra Harbor), and Piti Bay. Sites planned for establishment in late 2014 or early 2015 include Achang, Cocos-East, and Fouha Bay. Each site was selected by the GCRMG after consideration of each site's cultural and economic importance, the number of other management activities in the watershed, the amount and quality of available data collected by other efforts at the site, MPA status, accessibility, and other factors. In order to achieve a relatively high level of detection and significant power with a reasonable number of samples, sampling at most sites (with the exception of Western Shoals and Fouha Bay) is restricted to the submarine terrace, which is an area of relatively gentle
12

Sampling design The updated monitoring strategy calls for a stratified random sampling design and the combined use of both fixed and non-fixed sampling stations. This general approach is used for most sites (with the exception of Fouha Bay, which has relatively little reef area), but the details of the sampling design may differ between sites. However, sampling strategies and survey methods are made consistent across sites to the fullest extent possible in order to maximize the ability to make between-site comparisons. The locations of sampling stations are generated randomly using Geographic Information System (GIS) software. Even-numbered stations are fixed, while odd-numbered stations are unfixed; a new set of re randomized, unfixed stations are generated for subsequent visits. Data collection for most sites is currently focused on hardbottom habitat of the outer reef slope terrace, between the depths of 7 and 15 m. Monitoring at the Western Shoals site is currently focused within three strata, including the reef slope on the western half of the shoals, the reef flat margin on the western half of the shoals, and the reef flat margin on the eastern half of the shoals.
Site Monitoring Site monitoring currently involves the collection of data for benthic habitat and associated biological communities parameters listed above. Water quality monitoring will begin with the 2015 field season. The original intent was to visit all sites annually, but it has become clear that the large number of sampling stations required to attain a reasonably high level of detection and high level of power with relatively limited resources make this target unrealistic. A new sampling plan has been developed that involves the alternation between surveying all sampling stations (permanent and non-pennanent) stations and surveying only permanent stations. It may also be necessary to limit data collection for Jess accessible sites, such as Achang and Cocos-East, to biennial visits.
Survey logistics/permanent site establishment Each sampling station is located using a GPS receiver. Upon reaching a station's location, a small lead fishing weight and line tied to a buoy is dropped. In optimal situations where at least four divers are available, two divers enter the water first to carry out the reef fish surveys. Starting at the weight tied to the buoy, a 30-meter transect is laid out. The transect is laid out in a clockwise direction (clockwise from a planar view of Guam, following the depth contour if it is readily determined, or at a previously determined heading perpendicular to the reef margin if the area is relatively flat and a depth contour is not readily discernable. For previously established stations, divers locate the rebar marking the beginning of the transect and Jay out the tape in line with the existing rebar. The two or more divers conducting the benthic surveys enter the water after the fish surveys are completed. For fixed sampling stations, 24" rebar is installed at the beginning of the transect and 12" rebar is installed at the center and end of the transect; four-inch concrete nails are installed at two or more of the comers of each quadrat. For stations where high cover prevents the installation of rebar, a small PVC float is tied to dead coral at the beginning of the transect and large zip ties are placed at the beginning, middle, and end of the transect. Small zip ties are used to mark two or more corners of each permanent quadrat location in high coral cover areas.
Qualitative surveys Short qualitative surveys are conducted at each station when possible to establish species lists for key taxa and to characterize the site. These surveys are usually conducted immediately before or after the quantitative surveys, when time is available. In combination with the quantitative data, the qualitative data will contribute to a master species list and general site description for each site that can be referenced by monitoring personnel and local agencies. More comprehensive biodiversity surveys, including genetic sampling, may be carried out in the future.

*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 Water Quality After significant delays, water quality sampling will be carried out during the 2015 field season, with sampling at each station following Guam EPA's EMAP QAPP2003 2 procedures. Water column profiles will be performed at each sampling station using an electronic multiparameter water quality monitoring · system/datasonde equipped for conductivity/salinity, depth, dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature and turbidity. Temperature loggers have been deployed at the Tuman, East Agana, and Piti sites in 2014 and will be deployed at the remaining sites in late 2014 and 2015. At least one, possibly two datasondes equipped for conductivity/salinity, depth, dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature and turbidity will be deployed at select sites. for long term in situ monitoring. Additionally, an array of conductivity/temperature loggers will be deployed along the Tuman Bay and East Agana Bay monitoring sites in order to improve our understanding of the impacts of submarine freshwater discharge on reef communities at those sites.
Benthic Habitat Benthic Cover Benthic cover and coral and algal generic diversity are currently being assessed using digital photo transects. Non-overlapping digital photos along each transect with a digital point and shoot camera mounted on a PVC frame. Initially, photos were taken every 0.5 meters along the transect tape, but in order to minimize overlap (especially at high rugosity reef areas) photos are now taken every 1 m. The percent cover for various benthic cover types is estimated from the images using Coral Point Count (CPCe ). The CPCe analysis was initially carried out using 25 points per frame, stratified using a five by five grid, and now is carried out using 16 points per frame, stratified using a four by four grid.
Coral Community Shortly after the first diver begins the photo transect, another diver then identifies and measures all coral colonies within 0.5 x 0.5 m quadrats placed at 0 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, and 20 m along the right side of the transect. Percent old dead, percent recent dead, and disease type and severity observations are recorded for each colony. The cause of tissue mortality is noted if it can be determined with a reasonable degree of confidence. Measurements of the longest dimension and the width of the colony perpendicular to the longest dimension are made. An effort is made to carefully count all coral recruits/juvenile corals in order to assess the rates of coral recruitment to natural substrate. Care is taken to prevent the count of remnants of larger colonies as coral recruits/juvenile corals. Any tissue isolate suspected of being a remnant of a larger colony will be noted as such and taken into account during analysis, in order to prevent the calculation of erroneous coral recruitment rates. At least two photos are taken of each quadrat in order to maintain a photographic record of all quadrants. These photos may allow for the determination of planar growth rates for various coral species and for investigating benthic organism dynamics that can be appropriately observed at an inter-annual time scale.
Rugosity Beginning with the 2012 field season, rugosity is measured at each sampling station using the standard chain-and-tape method at one 10 m section along the 25 m transects at each sampling station. A diver carefully drapes a light chain over the substrate along a taut transect tape, paying out as much chain as is necessary to conform to the substrate profile along the length of the tape. The diver measures and records the length of chain needed to cover a 10m distance.

The fish team currently uses a Stationary Point Count Method (SPC) adapted from Ault et a!. (2006) and NOAA Fisheries Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (Williams et a!., 2011) at all sites. To conduct the surveys a pair of fish divers descend and deploy a 30 m transect across the substratum. Divers are positioned at 7.5 m and 22.5 m and count fish within a 7.5 m radius cylinder extending from the substrate to the limits of vertical visibility. The simultaneous surveys will begin once the divers deploy the transects and both divers are ready to proceed. The SPC surveys are conducted in two parts. During the first five minutes, divers record all species observed within the cylinder, but do not count or size fish. All fish are identified to species level or the next lowest taxonomic level possible (genus or family). If a rare fish (shark, species of concern, large mobile predators, etc.) is observed during the first 5 minutes, it is counted and sized, but the diver notes that it was not an instantaneous count. After the first five minutes divers enumerate fish, one species grouping at a time, using rapid visual sweeps of the plot. All fish of the target species within the SPC boundaries are counted and sized to the nearest centimeter; however, divers use size classes for large schools or high densities. This process is continued until all of the listed species are counted. At the end of the survey, divers swim throughout the 7 .5m radius plot to enumerate small and cryptic species that were not captured from the stationary central position. Surveys are not completed if the visibility is less than 7.5 m.
Macro invertebrates Counts of commercially and ecologically important macroinvertebrate species (Acanthaster, echinoids, holothurians, Tridacna, etc.) are made within a 4 m belt (2 meters on either side of the transect). The size of Tridacna are measured to the nearest em.
Rare Species Protected or rare species utilizing the general area around the site are recorded and photographed. These species include marine manunals, sea turtles, Bolbometopon muricatum, and Cheilinus undulatus. Data will include species, number, activity, and size when possible.
Data Analysis Data collected from each of the monitoring sites is first explored in multivariate space using PRIMER and the PERMANOVA add-on, is examined using several types of power analyses in order to determine optimum sample sizes, and the generation of descriptive statistics for multiple coral reef health parameters. The exploration of datasets within multivariate space using tools such as Principle Component Analysis (PCO), Multidimensional Scaling (MDS), Distance-based Linear Models, SIMPER analysis, and 2D Bubble Plots, allows for the visualization of the spatial structure of the data and the exploration of the possible influence of enviromnental factors on this spatial structure. Univariate power analyses are carried out separately on various parameters for sampling stations from different strata or other sampling station groupings; multivariate power analyses are also carried out when appropriate. Dominance plots and PCOs of cumulative means are also generated within PRIMERIPERMANOVA to examine the shape of the cumulative dominance curve.
Coral community parameters examined within and potentially between sites include the diversity of coral taxa (species level when possible), relative abundance, and evenness. Coral community size structure is also examined across strata and across entire monitoring sites. Aspects of coral condition, such as partial mortality (old and recent), sources of mortality, and coral disease prevalence are calculated for each sampling station and for each monitoring site/strata. Reef fish density and biomass are calculated, aggregated by species and by family. Total species richness is calculated for each site, as is the percentage of occurrence of each species across sampling stations. Macroinvertebrate diversity, density, and relative abundance are generated for species and species groups.
Comparisons of data between monitoring sites have not yet been conducted, but such comparisons may be made at a later date once an adequate understanding of factors influencing the biological communities at
15
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 each site is achieved and comparisons of one or more datasets is determined to be appropriate. When appropriate, comparisons of various parameters between reefs and between sampling periods will make use of a One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) or Repeated Measures ANOVA, or other appropriate statistical tests, to determine if any differences are statistically significant. Regression analyses will be used to examine relationships between biological parameters and environmental variables. Multidimensional scaling and other multidimensional statistical tools will be used to visualize similarities and dissimilarities between reef communities. Modifications to statistical analyses carried out on data between sampling periods will have to be made to account for the combined use of fixed and non-fixed transects and quadrants. Support will be sought by the National Park Service and others utilizing this sampling approach. Assistance by Dr. Houk, now with the UOG Marine Lab, will also be sought in the further analysis of the baseline data and data collected at subsequent sampling periods.
Data Management and Reporting A relational database and associated data entry application, which were developed through collaboration between NOAA CRED Information Services staff, BSP, and now UOGML, are currently in use by monitoring program staff. The database currently houses the coral quadrat, reef fish, and macroinvertebrate datasets. Most of the 2010-2012 observations for each dataset have been added to the database, with observations from the 2014 field season currently being entered. A thorough quality control process involving a fmal check of database observations against raw data sheets has yet to be conducted, but is scheduled to take place in late 2014/early 2015. The monitoring data management system is currently being expanded to include the benthic cover arid water quality monitoring data collected through the Long-term Monitoring Program, as well as data collected by the Reef Flat Monitoring Program and the Guam Community Coral Reef Monitoring Program. A proposal for internal funding has also been submitted by NOAA CRED to further expand the data management system to include an application for data distribution, which will significantly improve end-nser access to data generated by these monitoring programs.
The monitoring coordinator will coordinate and compile annual reports summarizing the data for resource managers. This information will be included in Guam's chapter of future NOAA Status of the Coral Reef Ecosystems ofthe U.S. and Freely Associated States reports and will be submitted to CaRIS. Information obtained through the monitoring program will be incorporated into a variety of outreach and education activities carried out by various local and federal agencies in an effort to raise awareness of the status of Guam's coral reef resources among Guam's community. A top priority for 2015 is the creation of a website for the monitoring program.
The program will be reviewed each year to determine its effectiveness and to decide if any modifications need to be made to the monitoring strategy. Any updates or changes will be incorporated into the following year's training and will be documented for future reference.

Project Timeline and Milestones
Qualter·~
UOGML Reef Flat Monitoring Program At present, seven reef flats along Guam's western coast are being monitored for coral health impacts and nutrient levels. Sites were chosen to represent a gradient of water quality impacts, starting with the relatively pristine reference point to the north, Haputo, and ending with Luminao reef flat, seaward of Apra Harbor. Sites in between these end points are as follows: Tanguisson, nearshore to the sewage outfall pipe; Tuman Bay; West Agai\a, nearshore of the sewage outfall pipe; Adelup; and Pili Bomb Holes Marine Reserve. Each of these sites is currently monitored quarterly, along three 20 m x 2 m belt transects established on the reef flat at 1-2 m depth. Temperatnre loggers have been placed at three of these sites and multiple coral colonies have been tagged for individual monitoring. In addition, two genera of macroalgae and a single soft coral are sampled during monitoring for isotope analyses.
The monitoring of these valuable, but highly vnlnerable reef sites provides a unique opportunity to have a program in place that has established a baseline or reference point against which to measure predicted improvements in response to management actions or impacts in response to increased stress from climate change and the planned military build-up. The data generated through the reef flat monitoring program provides a strong complement to the data collected at the outer reef slope sites targeted with the long-term monitoring program, particularly at locations, such as Tuman Bay and Piti Bay, where both the reef flat and outer reef slope communities with these bays are concurrently addressed through these two monitoring programs. The reef flat monitoring program provides information to managers for a critical, dynamic, yet vnlnerable reef zone, and is an essential component of a comprehensive coral reef monitoring strategy.

An increase in the monitoring budget is requested in order to accommodate the costs of operating at the UOG Marine Lab. These costs include a portion of the salary and benefits for administrative staff who handle tasks associated with the monitoring program (at a rate 14% of the total budget, for a total of $24,561/yr), as well as the higher fringe benefit rate at the University of Guam (36%, compared to the 28% rate used by the Bureau of Statistics and Plan, an increase of approximately $6900/yr). In order to remain below the maximum amount allowed by CRCP for state and territorial monitoring programs, the number of monitoring assistants is being reduced from three to two, and the amount requested for operational costs (e.g., boat use and supplies) is being reduced significantly. The reduction in requested funds for operations will be partially compensated for by the reduced costs for boat use (due to the significantly lower rate to use UOGML boats and the in-kind contribution of the NOAA PIRO inflatable), but achieving the stated goals will still be challenging. One potential solution aimed at easing budget constraints on operational costs, is to reduce the amount of time the person currently serving as the monitoring coordinator dedicates to the long-term monitoring project. As an example, if this person pursued other sources of funding for 20% of the year, it would free up approximately $9,000.00 each year to utilize for operational or other costs. However, such an action would only be feasible if the full-time technical support position was filled and ifUOGML, BSP, and NOAA were confident that that individual could continue with some of the monitoring coordinator's duties when he is involved in other projects.
Personnel The coordinator position is a full time position with an expected salary of $47,025.68 for FY2015 and FY2016. This salary was determined by adding a 3% increment to the monitoring coordinator's current salary as a Research Associate Ill step 15. Funding is also being sought to cover the continued salary of a full-time technical support specialist at the Research Associate I! level, step 11. In FY2012, a NOAA contracted technical support specialist was hired to assist with various aspects of the long-term coral reef monitoring program and related monitoring and assessment activities, such as carrying out different types of field surveys, assisting with the development of the program's water quality monitoring component, helping to coordinate the activities of the monitoring assistants, assisting with data management, and developing outreach materials and participating in outreach events. The position has proved critical in the continued development of the long-term monitoring program, significantly improving the capacity of the program, which had previously been dependent on a single full-time staff (the coordinator) and several part-time monitoring assistants who sometimes required a considerable amount of training and whose course schedules sometimes presented challenges to completing the required field work in a timely
18
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 manner. The success of the oue-year position led to consensus that the position should be continued, and for FY2013 the responsibilities currently carried out by the technical support specialist were funded through the NOAA Coral Reef Fellowship Program. CRCP funding was awarded to Guam to fund the position through FY13-14, although a significant delay in the release ofCRCP funds to Guam prevented the filling of the position in FY13. A qualified individual will be hired in early 2015 using recently released funds. The requested funding will support the continuance of the technical support position through FY2016 and FY2017.
In order to accommodate the additional costs associated with operating the monitoring program at the UOG Marine Lab, the number of part-time (20 hrs/wk) monitoring assistants will be reduced from three to two. The hiring of a full-time technical support position will alleviate some of the challenges associated with field personnel availability, so the reduction in the number of monitoring assistants should not compromise the monitoring team's ability to carry out the required field work. However, if for some reason funding for the full-time technical support position is uot approved, the program's basic functions carmot be carried out effectively without three monitoring assistants. The monitoring assistant positions are currently filled by UOGML graduate students, but may also be filled by other qualified persons in the event that qualified graduate students are not available. The salary for field personnel was calculated using a $14.91/hr rate for UOGML graduate students. While a full year's work by the monitoring assistants would amount to an armual salary of $15,506.40 per monitoring assistant for a total of $31,0 12.80/yr, an amount of $28,000 was requested to account for short periods during which fewer than two monitoring assistants are employed and periods when the assistants are not able to work the full 20 hours per week. An additional $4,000/year is requested to fund the part-time employment of one graduate student to work with Dr. Raymundo on the reef flat monitoring program.
An administrative fee of 14% of the total budget is broken down into salary and fringe benefits for administrative staff that will carry out tasks associated with the long-term monitoring program and reef flat monitoring program. The amount requested for administrative staff salary is $18,059.56.
Fringe Benefits Fringe benefits for all position are 36% of the base salary, an increase from the 28% rate previously used for the monitoring coordinator position when the program was coordinated out of the Bureau of Statistics and Plans.
Supplies An estimated $1 ,400.00/yr is required for the rental of scuba tanks for the long-term monitoring program, including compressed air and enriched air nitrox, as well as for the refill of emergency oxygen cylinders. No funding for scuba tank rental is beiug requested for use in the reef flat monitoring program. An estimated $900/yr is required to cover the costs of the armual maintenance of all scuba equipment. An estimated $555.00/yr is required to procure consumable field and office supplies for the long-term monitoring program and $300.00/yr is required for the reef flat monitoring program.
Consumable field and office supplies for which funding is requested include transect tapes, slates, underwater paper, pencils, rebar and nails to mark the permanent sites, batteries, battery chargers, line, buoys, PVC and miscellaneous office supplies.
Contractual $9,420.00/yr is requested to cover the costs associated with utilizing the University of Guam Marine Lab's boats. The UOGML charge a rate of $260/day. An estimated $2400/yr of the total $9420/yr may be used to hire a private boat charter in order to provide flexibility during periods when the UOGML boats and staff are unavailable. The cost to charter a private boat in previous years was at $800 per 8-hour day, but new services have recently become available that may be able to offer rates of approximately
19
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 $600/day. The 19' inflatable boat acquired by NOAA PIRO from the War in the Pacific National Historic Park will allow a small team to access relatively sheltered sites (e.g., Apra Harbor and sites along the southwest coast) located at close distances to a boat ramp, both for regular site monitoring as well as for maintenance of water quality monitoring instrumentation.
An additional $1,780.00/yr is requested for the rental of a UOGML boat and truck for the reef flat monitoring program. The reef flat program will require the rental of a UOGML truck to access most of the monitoring sites, but will require a boat to access the Haputo Bay reef flat site. The UOGML truck rental rate is $50/day and will be used for 20 days, while the boat/truck rate is $260/day and will be used for three days of monitoring (to access the Haputo Bay site, which cannot be accessed by shore).

Task 4. Travel
Introduction
Travel funds are needed for Guam participation in the AIC meeting and the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force meeting. Members of the AIC meet in-person twice a year, coinciding with U.S. Coral Reef Task Force (USCRTF) meetings. Each AIC Meeting typically has two sessions; an Executive Session (for AIC members only) and an Open Session {open to invited guests). The AIC typically uses the time to discuss internal issues, introduce new members, discuss priority issue areas, and come to consensus on any outstanding AIC decisions. Time is also taken during the meeting for POCs to share information and talk about any concerns or issues amongst themselves (without Advisors or Secretariat director).
24
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 Each of the AIC's member jurisdictions are a member of the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force (USCRTF). The AIC Affiliate members are non-voting members of the USCRTF.
AIC members attend the biannual meetings of the USCRTF each year, typically with their principals or Task Force member (i.e., Governor or member representative). At these meetings, the AIC Chair presents an update report and presentation to Task Force members of priorities and accomplishments since the previous Task Force meeting.
Task Outcomes or Products
Funding will be used to enable the Governor, the designated Coral Reef Point of Contact, and or the Governor designee (should the governor not be able to attend) to attend the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force and AIC meetings. Their attendance at these meetings will ensure that Guam continues to address the need for continued resources for the health and protection of Guam's coral reefs. By addressing these resources, it will help sustain Guam's tourism industry and balance responsible development along Guam's shorelines.

Dear Dr. Donaldson:
We have met with David Burdick to discuss the coral reef monitoring project and have reviewed the maps and information supplied with this consultation. We have reviewed our holdings and concur with your determination that there are "No Historic Prooerties Affected". Per our earlier discussion and reiterated with this letter is the offer to alert us to any potentially significant resources that your personnel observe in a submerged context. We are very appreciative of this offer as we currently do not have cultural resources data from systematic surveys of the near shore.
If you have any questions or need assistance from our office please do not hesitate to contact us.

Dr. Terry J. Donaldson Director University of Guam Marine Laboratory Mangilao, Guam 96923
Hafa Adai Dr. Donaldson:
The Bureau of Statistics and Plans has reviewed the Supplemental Federal Consistency Certification submitted by Dr. Terry J. Donaldson, Director, of the University of Guam Marine Laboratory on January 22, 2015. Upon review of the application, there were no substantial changes in the activity relevant to GCMP's enforceable policies; or significant new circumstances or information relevant to the activity's effect on any coastal use or resource. Therefore, no determination is needed per 15 CFR Part 930, §930.46.
The project is for continued monitoring of benthic and fish communities at both fixed and non fixed reef sampling sites within the Guam Marine Preserves, Western Shoals, Cocos Forereef, Fouha Bay and potentially other sites as listed in the 2009 strategy update document, to track changes and causes of the changes in reef health at several key sites around Guam. The Guam Long-term Coral Reef Monitoring Program is funded by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coral Reef Initiative (CRI) Grants. This monitoring effort is in coordination with the natural resource departments and agencies of the Government of Guam including the Guam Environmental Protection Agency (GEPA), Agriculture's Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources (DoAg-DAWR) and NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).
Should you have any questions regarding this letter please contact Mr. Edwin Reyes, Guam Coastal Management Program Administrator or Ms. Christine C. Fejeran, Planner at 475-9647 or email [email protected] or [email protected] respectively.

Re: FY 15-16 Coral Reef Conservation Grant Program Match Waiver Request
Dear Ms. Koss:
As Guam is an Insular Area of the United States and we can request for a matching requirement waiver of local funds under $200,000 as stated in 48 U.S. Code §1469a(d), our total amount in FY 2015 of $210,000 and FY 2016 of $192,000 for a combined total of $392,000 in federal dollars exceed the waiver limit. However, please note that Guam has no reasonable means available through meeting the matching requirement, and the benefits of the proposed projects will increase public interest in improving the conditions of Guam's coral reef ecosystem that outweighs the matching requirement. Pursuant to 16 U.S. Code §6403(b)(2), we are requesting the local matching requirement to be waived in the amount of $392,000.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you in advance for your kind and favorable consideration of this request. Should you require additional information, please contact myself or Ms. Lola E. Leon Guerrero at 671-472-4201/2/3.

Section II: General Page 1 of 2
A. Limitations: Use of the rate(s) contained in this agreement is subject to any applicable statutory limitations. Acceptance of the rate(s) agreed to herein is predicated upon these conditions: (1) no costs other than those incurred by the subject organization were included in its indirect cost rate proposal, (2) all such costs are the legal obligations of the grantee/contractor, (3) similar types of costs have been accorded consistent treatment, and (4) the same costs that have been treated as indirect costs have not been claimed as direct costs (for example, supplies can be charged directly to a program or activity as long as these costs are not part of the supply costs included in'the indirect cost pool for central administration) .
B. Audit: All costs (direct and indirect, federal and non-federal) are subject to audit. Adjustments to amounts resulting from audit of the cost allocation plan or indirect cost rate proposal upon which the negotiation of this agreement was based will be compensated for in a subsequent negotiation.
C. Changes: The rate(s) contained in this agreement are based on the organizational structure and the accounting system in effect at the time the proposal was submitted. Changes in organizational structure, or changes in the method of accounting for costs which affect the amount of reimbursement resulting from use of the rate(s) in this agreement, require the prior approval of the responsible negotiation agency. Failure to obtain such approval may result in subsequent audit disallowance.
D. Rate Type: 1. Fixed Carryforward Rate: The fixed carryforward rate is based on an estimate' of the costs that will be incurred during the period for which the rate applies. When the actual costs for such periods have been determined, an adjustment will be made to the rate for future periods, if necessary, to compensate for the difference between the costs used to establish the fixed rate and the actual costs.
2. Provisional/Final Rates: Within 6 months after year end, the final rate must be submitted based on actual costs. Billings and charges to contracts and grants must be adjusted if the final rate varies from the provisional rate. If the final rate is greater than the provisional rate and there are no funds available to cover the additional indirect costs, the organization may not recover all indirect costs. Conversely, if the final rate is less than the provisional rate, the organization will be required to pay back the difference to the funding agency.
3. Predetermined Rate: The predetermined rate contained in this agreement is based on estimated costs which will be incurred during the period for which the rate applies and is normally not subject to subsequent carry-forward adjustments. However, if material changes occur in the grantee/contractor's cost structure, adjustments to the rate may be necessary to compensate for the effects of such changes.
E. Agency Notification: Copies of this document may be provided to other federal offices as a means of notifying them of the agreement contained herein.
F. Record Keeping: Organizations must maintain accounting records that demonstrate that each type of cost has been treated consistently either as a direct cost or an indirect cost. Records pertaining to the costs of program administration, such as salaries, travel, and related costs, should be kept on an annual basis.
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 Section II: General {continued) Page 2 of 2
G. Reimbursement Ceilings: Grantee/ contractor program agreements providing for ceilings on indirect cost rate(s) or reimbursement amounts are subject to the ceilings stipulated in the contract or grant agreements. If the ceiling rate is higher than the negotiated rate in Section I of this agreement, the negotiated rate will be used to determine the maximum allov;able indirect cost.
H. Use of Other Rate{s): If any federal programs are reimbursing indirect costs to this grantee/contractor by a measure otller than the approved rate (s) in this agreement, the grantee/contractor should credit such costs to the affected programs, and the approved rate should be used to identify the maximum amount of indirect cost allocab1e to these programs.
I. Central Service Costs: Where central service costs are estimated for the calculation of indirect cost rate (s), adjustments i.'lill be made to reflect the difference between provisional and fina1 amounts.
J. Other: l. The purpose of an indirect cost rate is to facilitate the allocation and billing of indirect costs. Approval of the indirect cost rate does not mean that an organization can recover more than the actual costs of a particular program or activity.
2. Programs received or initiated by the organization subsequent to the negotiation of this agreement are subject to the approved indirect cost rate if the programs receive administrative support from the indirect cost pool. It should be noted that this could result in a11 adjustment to a future rate.
3. New indirect cost proposals are necessary to obtain approved indirect cost rate (s) fo:J:" future fiscal or calendar years. The proposals are due in our office 6 months prior to the beginning of the year to which the proposed rate{s) will apply.

*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 DATA AND INFORMATION SHARING PLAN
65
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 Guam Data and Information Sharing Plan
1. Type of environmental data and information to be created during the course of the project
Critical coral reef monitoring data, including data for water quality, benthic habitat and associated biological community parameters, will be collected on an annual to biennial basis at several priority reef areas around Guam. The bulk of the data generated will be field observations and digital images with limited number of spatial data layers generated including site boundaries and transect locations. The data collected will enable coral reef managers to determine the status and trends in selected coral reef ecosystem indicators and be informed as to the effective management of Guam's coral reef resources.
Data collected for the anthropogenic effects at target spawning aggregation sites will include field observations and digital imagery, including video that will quantify mating and egg predation dynamics at the site and along an adjacent reef where fish feeding does not appear to occur. Data assessing anthropogenic effects at target spawning aggregation sites impacted by diver/snorkeler fish feeding will enable coral reef managers to design and implement regulations that will afford greater mating success and reproductive output.
2. The types of collection methods
The coral reef monitoring strategy calls for a stratified random sampling design and the combined use of both fixed and non fixed sampling stations. The locations of sampling stations will be generated randomly using a Geographic Information System (GIS). Data collection will be conducted by University of Guam biologists, including the Monitoring Coordinator and technical staff, as well as the NOAA PIRO Coral Reef Ecologist for Guam, and support from Guam EPA and DAWR personnel. Field surveys will include photo transects for benthic cover, chain length method for rugosity, quadrants for coral colony size/ condition, stationary point count method for the reef fish community, and belt transects for the macro invertebrate community. Water quality data will be collected using temperature loggers, temperature/conductivity loggers, and multi parameter datasondes.
Comparative measurements of the densities of target species on the spawning aggregation site and adjacent to it will be made utilizing GPS-linked timed visual surveys. These surveys can estimate the position of mating groups on and off of the spawning aggregation site and relate the location of these groups to various habitat factors. Locations of temporary territories created by courting males will be plotted on a map of the site; maps will be compared over time to establish temporal patterns of territory use. Behavioral focal point timed-observations of courtship dynamics will be recorded on underwater paper with data sheets photocopied afterwards and stored separately. Behavioral focal point timed observations of egg predation attempts by egg predators will be recorded in the same manner. Photographic and video imagery of courtship dynamics and egg predation attempts will be obtained by observers. Additional video imagery will be captured by cameras fixed upon the substratum. Data collection will be conducted by University of Guam Marine Laboratory (UOGML) biologists.
3. Tentative date by which data will be shared
Once the data have been collected they will be entered into the Guam Coral Reef Monitoring database within one week, where they will then be reviewed for quality accuracy prior to fmal integration into the database. Specific time periods between 3-8 months will be implemented for data sharing with reference to quality analysis/quality control versions of the macroinvertebrate, reef fish, and coral quadrat data; benthic cover data from photo transect images; metadata submission to CaRIS; FGDC-compliant metadata for existing geospatial data; and geospatial data layers.
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 Behavioral, ecological and GIS data on targeted spawning aggregation will be entered into a data base continuously during the course of the study. Photographic and video data will be edited, analyzed and archived in two separate locations. Within 60 days of the completion, BSP will be given a copy of the data base, NOAA and DAWR. A link on the University of Guam Marine Laboratory's website will be provided for access to this data base for other users, as well.
4. Standards to be used for datalmetadata format and content
Field survey and data management protocols have been developed in order to facilitate consistency and maintain a high degree of data integrity. Field observation data will be stored in a central, remotely accessible relational database and will undergo a quality analysis/quality control process carried out by both programs prior to analysis or distribution. Metadata for field observation data, geospatial datasets, and associated metadata will adhere to the standards set out in the document "Technical Guidelines for Metadata Preparation", the Federal Geographic Data Committee standards as well as the draft 2007 Guam Standard Data Infrastructure document.
5. Policies addressing data stewardship and preservation
Data collected will be stored within a relational database at the Department of Administration's Data Services Division. A backup of the contents of the virtual server (e.g., the relationship database, the web application, and related applications and data) will be housed off-site. A formal agreement between the Bureau of Statistics and Plans and the Department of Administration will be developed to ensure the long term viability of the database and web application. Regular updates of the relational database will be provided to NOAA CRED or another NOAA entity in order to ensure that a current backup of the database is housed at an off-island location. The Govermnent of Guam does not have a state data archive; however, discussion will be initiated with the Guam Bureau of Information Technology to create a policy and database for archiving critical data.
6. Procedures for providing access to data and prior experience in publishing such data:
Efforts are closely being coordinated with the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED) to develop a relational database and associated web-based application for the management and distribution of monitoring data for Guam. Once a data sharing component of the web application is developed, end users will be able to discover data sets through internet searches and download data sets via the web application; links to the web application will be provided on the monitoring program website, UOGML website, the BSP website, and other websites to widen internet exposure
The information presented in the annual reports will also be incorporated into Guam's chapter of the NOAA Status of the Coral Reef Ecosystems of the U.S. and Freely Associated States report and the Status of the Coral Reef Ecosystems of Guam report. This information will also be presented in newsletters, such as the Man. Land, and Sea newsletter and the Governor's PROA newsletter, and will be incorporated into a variety of outreach and education efforts carried out by various local and federal agencies.

Question Cl. Is the proposed activity going to be conducted in partnership with NOAA or would the proposed activity require NOAA's direct involvement, activity, or oversight? If yes, describe NOAA's involvement, activity, or oversight, including the name of the office or program that is involved. Answer: In addition to the project being funded in its entirety through the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program's Jurisdictional Grant, Valerie Brown, with NOAA's Pacific Island Regional Office, is directly involved in the project, including contributing to the continued development of project strategy as well as participating in data collection, analysis, reporting and related tasks.
Question C2. Would the proposed activity involve any other Federal agency(ies) partnership, direct involvement, activity, or oversight? If yes, provide the name(s) of the agency(ies) and describe its involvement, activity, or oversight. Answer: No federal agencies (other than NOAA -see answer to C2) are involved in the project.
Question Dl. Provide a brief description of the location of the proposed activity. Answer: The project currently involves the regular (annual or biennial) collection of coral reef survey data at several high priority sites around Guam, including the Tumon Bay Marine Preserve, East Agana Bay, the Piti Bomb Holes Marine Preserve, Western Shoals (in Apra Harbor), the Achang Reef Flat Marine Preserve, the Cocos Barrier Reef, and Fouha Bay.
Question El. List any Federal, state, or local permits, authorizations, or waivers that would be required to complete the proposed activity. Provide the date the permit, authorization, or waiver was obtained or will be obtained. Provide copies of the permit, authorization, or waiver as appropriate. Was a NEP A analysis prepared for the permit, authorization, or waiver? If yes, state the title of the NEPA analysis and provide copies of the NEP A analysis. Answer:
• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide permits: obtained 20 July 2010 and 16 November 2010, with a pending permit expected by 28 Feb 2015
• Guam Department of Agriculture Marine Preserve permit: pending permit expected by 20 Feb 2015
• Bureau of Statistics and Plans Federal Consistency concurrence: initially obtained on 3 November 2009, with response to supplemental information providedto BSP on 27 January 2015 expected by 20 Feb 2015
• Guam Department of Parks and Recreation Historic Preservation Office Section I 06 concurrence: obtained 22 January 2015
• NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Grants Program NEPA checklist (carried out by NOAA CRCP): completed 31 March 20 I 0
• NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service Endangered Species Act Section 7 concurrence (carried out by NOAA CRCP): obtained 23 July 2010
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 Question Fl. Is there the potential for the proposed activity to cause changes that would be different from normal ambient conditions (for example, temperature, light, turbidity, noise, other human activity levels, etc.)? If yes, describe the changes and the circmnstances that would cause these changes. Answer: The presence of divers at monitoring sites has a minimal effect on the behavior of some organisms. Boats typically do not anchor unless a large sand patch is visible, thus anchor damage to corals and other benthic organisms is prevented. Permits have been acquired for the installation of steel rebar and masonry nails to mark the location of permanent transects and quadrats, which are installed only into non-coral substrate. A minimal amount of turfing algae and crustose coralling algae are affected by the installation of rebar or nails. The boat captain, crew, and monitoring team members are constantly on look-out for sea turtles and marine mammals while in transit to and from monitoring sites in order to avoid collisions and to minimize effects on behavior.

Dear Ms. Koss
The Bureau of Statistics and Plans fully supports the efforts of Dr. Terry Donaldson's research proposal, "Assessing Anthropogenic Effects from Dive Tourism Activities upon a Multi-Species Reef Fish Spawning Aggregation Site," that is being submitted in the Guam's FY 15-16 Coral Reef Conservation Grant application.
This research project will provide crucial data to Guam's resource managers about how fish feeding, a popular tourist activity, affects the reproductive success of many ecologically and economically important wrasse species. With this information, the island's resource managers will ultimately be able to devise and implement strategies to better manage Guam's reef fish spawning aggregation sites. Such initiatives will support stable and productive fish populations, a critical component of a healthy coral reef ecosystem.
Furthermore, this research will help sustain a resilient reef ecosystem for Guam's tourist visitors and the people of Guam. I am hopeful that this proposal will be a success.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email me at (671) 472-4201/2/3 or [email protected].

An increase in the monitoring budget is requested in order to accommodate the costs of operating at the UOG Marine Lab. These costs include a portion of the salary and benefits for administrative staff who handle tasks associated with the monitoring program (at a rate 14% of the total budget, for a total of $24,561/yr), as well as the higher fringe benefit rate at the University of Guam (36%, compared to the 28% rate used by the Bureau of Statistics and Plan, an increase of approximately $6900/yr). In order to remain below the maximum amount allowed by CRCP for state and territorial monitoring programs, the number of monitoring assistants is being reduced from three to two, and the amount requested for operational costs (e.g., boat use and supplies) is being reduced significantly. The reduction in requested funds for operations will be partially compensated for by the reduced costs for boat use (due to the significantly lower rate to use UOGML boats and the in-kind contribution of the NOAA PIRO inflatable), but achieving the stated goals will still be challenging. One potential solution aimed at easing budget constraints on operational costs, is to reduce the amount of time the person currently serving as the monitoring coordinator dedicates to the long-term monitoring project. As an example, if this person pursued other sources of funding for 20% of the year, it would free up approximately $9,000.00 each year to utilize for operational or other costs. However, such an action would only be feasible if the full-time technical support position was filled and ifUOGML, BSP, and NOAA were confident that that individual could continue with some of the monitoring coordinator's duties when he is involved in other projects.
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 Personnel The coordinator position is a full time position with an expected salary of $47,025.68 for FY2015 and FY2016. This salary was detennined by adding a 3% increment to the monitoring coordinator's current salary as a Research Associate III step 15. Funding is also being sought to cover the continued salary of a full-time technical support specialist at the Research Associate II level, step II. In FY2012, a NOAA contracted technical support specialist was hired to assist with various aspects of the long-tenn coral reef monitoring program and related monitoring and assessment activities, such as carrying out different types of field surveys, assisting with the development of the program's water quality monitoring component, helping to coordinate the activities of the monitoring assistants, assisting with data management, and developing outreach materials and participating in outreach events. The position has proved critical in the continued development of the long-tenn monitoring program, significantly improving the capacity of the program, which had previously been dependent on a single full-time staff (the coordinator) and several part-time monitoring assistants who sometimes required a considerable amount of training and whose course schedules sometimes presented challenges to completing the required field work in a timely manner. The success of the one-year position led to consensus that the position should be continued, and for FY20 13 the responsibilities currently carried out by the technical support specialist were funded through the NOAA Coral Reef Fellowship Program. CRCP funding was awarded to Guam to fund the position through FY13-14, although a significant delay in the release of CRCP funds to Guam prevented the filling of the position in FYI3. A qualified individual will be hired in early 2015 using recently released funds. The requested funding will support the continuance of the technical support position through FY2016 and FY2017.
In order to accommodate the additional costs associated with operating the monitoring program at the UOG Marine Lab, the number of part-time (20 hrs/wk) monitoring assistants will be reduced from three to two. The hiring of a full-time technical support position will alleviate some of the challenges associated with field personnel availability, so the reduction in the number of monitoring assistants should not compromise the monitoring team's ability to carry out the required field work. However, if for some reason funding for the full-time technical support position is not approved, the program's basic functions cannot be carried out effectively without three monitoring assistants. The monitoring assistant positions are currently filled by UOGML graduate students, but may also be filled by other qualified persons in the event that qualified graduate students are not available. The salary for field personnel was calculated using a $14.91/hr rate for UOGML graduate students. While a full year's work by the monitoring assistants would amount to an annual salary of $15,506.40 per monitoring assistant for a total of $31,0 12.80/yr, an amount of $28,000 was requested to account for short periods during which fewer than two monitoring assistants are employed and periods when the assistants are not able to work the full 20 hours per week. An additional $4,000/year is requested to fund the part-time employment of one graduate student to work with Dr. Raymundo on the reef flat monitoring program.
An administrative fee of 14% of the total budget is broken down into salary and fringe benefits for administrative staff that will carry out tasks associated with the long-tenn monitoring program and reef flat monitoring program. The amount requested for administrative staff salary is $18,059.56.
Fl"inge Benefits Fringe benefits for all position are 36% of the base salary, an increase from the 28% rate previously used for the monitoring coordinator position when the program was coordinated out of the Bureau of Statistics and Plans.
Supplies An estimated $1,400.00/yr is required for the rental of scuba tanks for the long-tenn monitoring program, including compressed air and enriched air nitrox, as well as for the refill of emergeucy oxygen cylinders. No funding for scuba tank rental is being requested for use in the reef flat monitoring program. An
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 estimated $900/yr is required to cover the costs of the annual maintenance of all scuba equipment. An estimated $555.00/yr is required to procure consumable field and office supplies for the long-term monitoring program and $300.00/yr is required for the reef flat monitoring program.
Consumable field and office supplies for which funding is requested include transect tapes, slates, underwater paper, pencils, rebar and nails to mark the permanent sites, batteries, battery chargers, line, buoys, PVC and miscellaneous office supplies.
Contractual $9,420.00/yr is requested to cover the costs associated with utilizing the University of Guam Marine Lab's boats. The UOGML charge a rate of$260/day. An estimated $2400/yr of the total $9420/yrmaybe used to hire a private boat charter in order to provide flexibility during periods when the UOGML boats and staff are unavailable. The cost to charter a private boat in previous years was at $800 per 8-hour day, but new services have recently become available that may be able to offer rates of approximately $600/day. The 19' inflatable boat acquired by NOAA PIRO from the War in the Pacific National Historic Park will allow a small team to access relatively sheltered sites (e.g., Apra Harbor and sites along the southwest coast) located at close distances to a boat ramp, both for regular site monitoring as well as for maintenance of water quality monitoring instrumentation.
An additional $1,780.00/yr is requested for the rental of a UOGML boat and truck for the reef flat monitoring program. The reef flat program will require the rental of a UOGML truck to access most of the monitoring sites, but will require a boat to access the Haputo Bay reef flat site. The UOGML truck rental rate is $50/day and will be used for 20 days, while the boat/truck rate is $260/day and will be used for three days of monitoring (to access the Haputo Bay site, which cannot be accessed by shore).

PERSONNEL AND FRINGE BENEFITS The locally funded Planner I will be directly involved in tbe coordination and implementation of the outreach and education task in collaboration with tbe Watershed Coordinator. Thirty five percent of tbe Planner I time will be involved in the outreach and education task (In-kind match).
SUPPLIES Supply costs ($1,000) include items to support public outreach events and community training opportunities. The itemized items are as follows: Miscellaneous outreach supplies to include 200 pes x $1.50 = $300 color butcher paper, I dozen x 20 pkg x $5 = $100 colored pipe cleaners pkg, I dozen x 10 x $15 = $150 color pencils,! dozen x 10 x $15 = $150 color markers,25 pes x $Z.OO =$50 elementary scissors, 20 pes x $3 = $60 scotch tape, clear plastic storage bins to store supply 5 x $25 = $125 for Guardian of the Reef Training for Year I .
CONTRACTUAL Contract costs include printing for materials for public outreach events, costs for logistics and facilitation for outreach training, media costs including advertisement and airing of public service announcements (PSAs). It is important to note that outreach items (t-shirts, stickers, bags, pens, etc) that has messages or logos printed falls nuder contractual.
Transportation Transportation has been a major limiting factor regarding parlicipant numbers at outreach events. Educators are excited by programs that include transportation along with service learning opportunities. Providing transportation maximizes exposure of the program throughout the Guam Department of Education (GDOE).
The budget needs for the Guardians oftbe Reef Program ($4,860): The Guardians of the Reef Program is one of Guam's most successful service learning programs available on island reaching out to over 2,400 third grade elementary school students each year for over I 0 years, not including the number of high school students trained in the program and fifth graders who experience tbe Guardians of the Reef Program puppet show. Transportation provided by this grant ensures student participation and success. The funds from this project will provide transportation to training opportunities for students and transportation to schools for presentations. The itemized cost to provide roundtrip transportation for the high school Guardians to the elementary schools is $90 per hour x 3 hours x 18 trips = $4860 for Year I and Year2.
The budget needs for the Guam Nature Alliance ($4,500): The funds will provide transportation for Guam Nature Alliance fieldtrips which promote enviromnental education and service learning opportunities for students who potentially do not participate in tbe Guardians of the Reef Program, maximizing opportJ.mities for Guam's youth to become more engaged through their service learning options. The itemized cost to provide roundtrip transportation Guam Nature Alliance fieldtrips is $90 per hour x 5 hours x I 0 trips = $4500.
Outreach and Education Items and Contractual Printing ($9,640) such as Guardians of the Reef !-shirts ($1003), Guardian of the Reef Coloring Book printing (black and white pages, collated, folded, artwork ready 2000 x .15 = $300, Pledge Cards ($.09 x $3000 = $270) Guardian of the Reef Training $2750 xI= $2750, Pig Hunting Derby and Pork in the Park !-shirts ($3708), Banners ($250 x 4 =$1000) and other printed materials; and Media ($609) such as radio, newspaper, commercials/PSAs for Year I; and ($2839) such as Guardians of the Reef !-shirts ($1003) and other printed materials ($1836) to support outreach
*Doc. No. 33GL-15-0174 activities and messaging for Guardians, Pig Hunting Derby and Pork in the Park for Year 2. These items are necessary to support these educational outreach events.
The media expenditures wiii include production costs and air time for both radio and televised commercials/PSAs ($609) for Year I. Messaging wiii support the above mentioned campaigns and ongoing efforts by diversifying the range and methodologies taken to engage community members.
Funding wiii ensure the Guardians have !-shirts to distinguish and identify them as Guardians of the Reef when they go out to the elementary school to present the Guardian of the Reef presentation. This outreach item is essential for the program as the Guardians are educating the 3rd grade students about the importance of Guam's reefs as stewards of Guam's coral ecosystem.
Guardian of the Reef T -shirts s 32 $9.00 $288.00 M 25 $9.00 $225.00 L 13 $9.00 $117.00 XL 5 $9.00 $45.00 2XL 2 $11.00 $22.00 YS 13 $9.00 $117.00 YM 21 $9.00 $189.00 Ill $1,003.00
The funding wiii ensure participants of the annual derby wiii be provided with their first piece of safety preparedness, their hunter safety orange t-shirts. The !-shirts play multiple roles as such promotional items have proven in the past, safety, recognition for the event and cause that surpasses the timeframe of the event itself, and a desire for nonparticipants to become engaged during the next event. The derby aside from a getting a bright !-shirt, is the approach Guam has taken to raise awareness regarding feral ungulates/invasive species, and impacts incurred by them on our natural resources, watershed and coral resources. The derby and cook-off enabled and continues to encourage conversations to take place between community members (business owners, land owners, hunters, natural resource recreational users, local and federal government, students and educators) and resource managers. These conversations have led to support and a raised awareness regarding feral ungulates, wild land arson, erosion, sedimentation, and coral resources.
