Soedarto SH street, Semarang 50275 Indonesia 3Postgraduated student Environmental Science Programme, School of Environmental Science, University of Indonesia, Salemba Raya Street No. 4, Jakarta 10430, Indonesia Abstract. Seagrass beds are important for providing ecological functions and ecosystem services, including its role as habitat for marine animals. In spite of their significance, they remain in decline. The change of seagrass beds will affect the associated animals. Some animals that live on seagrass beds protected by IUCN Red Data List and CITES 1973. Yet the data have not been properly recorded. The aim of this study was to find out the existence of marine animals protected by the Red Data List and CITES 1973 IUCN, especially in seagrass ecosystems in Indonesia. The method used in this research is mix method with desk study approach and presentation of data analyzed through review. The results of the study show that changes in seagrass ecosystems will affect the presence of migratory marine animals and those who live and settle in this ecosystem. The provisions in the IUCN Red Data List and CITES 1973 supported by national legislation in Indonesia will have significant impact on the protection of marine animals in seagrass beds.

Functional connectivity, the degree to which the seascape facilitates or impedes movement between habitat patches, is poorly studied in marine systems. We reviewed the scientific literature to explore the various barriers preventing functional connectivity between marine habitats and how the removal of these barriers may restore connectivity. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review to investigate functional connectivity between life cycle habitats for a range of marine species. A total of 4,499 records were identified and screened, leaving 69 publications eligible for review. The results highlighted a range of distances between nursery and adult habitats that limited functional connectivity for a number of species, predominantly reef fishes. For some species, adults were absent on reefs >9km from the closest nursery habitat, suggesting a threshold for connectivity. Similarly, increased distance between spawning and settlement habitats decreased settling success of larvae of various taxa. Pelagic larval duration, seascape topography and climate change were also shown to impact functional connectivity during the larval phase. The removal and mitigation of barriers preventing functional connectivity, including dams and habitat fragmentation, restored connectivity between disconnected life cycle habitats, but the efficacy of 1 © 2021 by the author(s).

The series is also available on CD-Rom. CCC fish and coral species lists 1. INTRODUCTION Between 1986 and 1998, Coral Cay Conservation (CCC) provided data and technical assistance to the Belize Department of Fisheries, Coastal Zone Management Unit and Coastal Zone Management Project under the remit of a Memorandum of Understanding. This work has provided data for seven proposed or established marine protected areas at South Water Cay, Bacalar Chico, Sapodilla Cays, Snake Cays, Laughing Bird Cay, Caye Caulker and Turneffe Atoll (Figure 1). These projects have generally provided habitat maps, the associated databases and management recommendations to assist reserve planning. In addition to the data collection, training, capacity building and environmental education undertaken by CCC, the expeditions have also provided opportunities for compiling presence / absence species lists of fish and corals in the different project areas. This document contains the fish list compiled by CCC staff and experienced volunteers and a reprint of Fenner (1999) detailing coral taxonomy in Belize and Cozumel, the Belize component of which was compiled while the author was working as a member of CCC’s field science staff.

No reuse allowed without permission. 24 ABSTRACT 25 The change in state of Caribbean coral reefs over the last 40 years has been characterized by 26 phase shifts from scleractinian coral cover to macroalgal cover, the loss of structural complexity 27 and a decline in biodiversity. Not only do scientists want to understand these changes, but also 28 predict the future of coral reefs and their capacity for resilience. In particular, the loss of 29 herbivory, due to declines in parrotfish and the sea urchin Diadema antillarum, has been 30 implicated in many studies as a proximate cause of the coral to macroalgal phase shift. However, 31 reports of the particular role of these putative herbivores have varied, with some studies claiming 32 a causal role for parrotfish, others for Diadema and still others suggesting no such relationships.

    REEF RESPONSIBLE Protect the ocean, choose sustainable fish What is the Reef Responsible Initiative? In the Caribbean, coral reefs are affected by factors such as overexploitation, contamination by sewage, chemicals and sedimentation, and the destruction of essential habitats including mangroves, wetlands and seagrass beds. In addition, the introduction of the lionfish, an invasive Indo-Pacific species, has increased stress on the region’s reefs. Reef Responsible was created to promote sustainable consumption and better management of seafood products, which in turn fosters economic stability and food security. This initiative aims to inform restaurants and consumers about the origin of seafood, the fishing gear with which it was captured, and the laws and regulations that protect the species. The main objective of Reef Responsible is to work with restaurants and Why Join the Reef consumers to promote the sale and consumption of local species that are well managed and in good condition. We believe that through outreach, Responsible Initiative? education and active participation, we can achieve our goal of preserving our Restaurants that participate in natural resources while supporting local economies and sustainable fishing.
