  • Identity Crisis Or Split Personality? Trans-Ocean Distances and Not Within Individual Regions
    Journal of Biogeography (J. Biogeogr.) (2007) 34, 2001–2008 GUEST Seamounts: identity crisis or split EDITORIAL personality? Craig R. McClain* Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, ABSTRACT 7700 Sandholdt Road, Moss Landing, CA At present, researchers propose that over 14,000 seamounts exist and, like their 95039, USA terrestrial analogues, function like islands. In addition, seamounts are described as oases, biodiversity hotspots, and lush coral/sponge gardens. Here I discuss the extent to which these tenets regarding seamounts may be inappropriate, suffer from a lack of support, and be over-generalizations of a broad range of envi- ronmental types encountered on seamounts. Ultimately, for seamount science to progress, we need to challenge our conventional wisdom on these habitats and the extent to which all seamounts function in a similar manner. *Correspondence: Craig R.

In this report, we analyse the benthic hydroids collected on the Vema and Valdivia seamounts during a survey conducted in 2015 in the SEAFO Convention Area, focused on mapping and analysing the occurrence and abundance of benthopelagic fi sh and vulnerable marine ecosystem (VMEs) indicators on selected Southeast Atlantic seamounts. A total of 27 hydroid species were identifi ed, of which 22 belong to Leptothecata and only fi ve to Anthoathecata. Monostaechoides gen. nov. was erected within the family Halopterididae to accommodate Plumularia providentiae Jarvis, 1922, and a new species, Monotheca bergstadi sp. nov., is also described. Campanularia africana is recorded for the fi rst time from the Atlantic Ocean, and the Northeast Atlantic species Amphinema biscayana, Stegopoma giganteum and Clytia gigantea are also recorded from the South Atlantic.

  • Cenozoic Changes in Pacific Absolute Plate Motion A
    CENOZOIC CHANGES IN PACIFIC ABSOLUTE PLATE MOTION A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI`I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS DECEMBER 2003 By Nile Akel Kevis Sterling Thesis Committee: Paul Wessel, Chairperson Loren Kroenke Fred Duennebier We certify that we have read this thesis and that, in our opinion, it is satisfactory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Science in Geology and Geophysics. THESIS COMMITTEE Chairperson ii Abstract Using the polygonal finite rotation method (PFRM) in conjunction with the hotspot- ting technique, a model of Pacific absolute plate motion (APM) from 65 Ma to the present has been created. This model is based primarily on the Hawaiian-Emperor and Louisville hotspot trails but also incorporates the Cobb, Bowie, Kodiak, Foundation, Caroline, Mar- quesas and Pitcairn hotspot trails. Using this model, distinct changes in Pacific APM have been identified at 48, 27, 23, 18, 12 and 6 Ma. These changes are reflected as kinks in the linear trends of Pacific hotspot trails. The sense of motion and timing of a number of circum-Pacific tectonic events appear to be correlated with these changes in Pacific APM. With the model and discussion presented here it is suggested that Pacific hotpots are fixed with respect to one another and with respect to the mantle. If they are moving as some paleomagnetic results suggest, they must be moving coherently in response to large-scale mantle flow. iii List of Tables 4.1 Initial hotspot locations .

  • Securing Minimum Protection Standards for Canada's
    1 Title: Securing Minimum Protection Standards for Canada’s Marine Protected Areas 2 Authors: Maryann S. Watson1*, Stephanie M. Hewson1 3 1West Coast Environmental Law Association, 2006 West 10th Ave, Vancouver, BC, 4 Coast Salish Territories. 5 *Corresponding author: [email protected] 6 Keywords: Marine Protected Areas, Canada, protection standards, law 1 7 Abstract: 8 In 2015, the Government of Canada committed to protecting 5% of marine and coastal 9 areas by 2017, and 10% by 2020. While admirable progress towards this target has been 10 made, less attention has been given to improving the quality of protection afforded to 11 marine areas. Extensive scientific study supports that several factors are critical to the 12 success of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) for marine biodiversity conservation and 13 management objectives, including no-take areas and prohibitions on extractive and 14 industrial activities. However, the majority of Canada’s MPAs allow extractive uses 15 within their boundaries. As Canada works toward international and national commitments 16 to marine protection targets, it is critical to consider the degree of protection afforded by 17 the legal designations used to create these areas. This paper reviews the current 18 inconsistent standards of protection across marine protected areas (MPAs) designated 19 under the Oceans Act, Canada’s flagship legislation for marine protection. Recommended 20 amendments to the law include standards of protection that would exclude all extractive 21 industrial activities from MPAs in order to better guide the designation and decision- 22 making processes for marine protection. 2 23 1. Introduction 24 Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a powerful tool for the conservation and 25 management of marine biodiversity [1].

  • Chapter 51. Biological Communities on Seamounts and Other Submarine Features Potentially Threatened by Disturbance
    Chapter 51. Biological Communities on Seamounts and Other Submarine Features Potentially Threatened by Disturbance Contributors: J. Anthony Koslow, Peter Auster, Odd Aksel Bergstad, J. Murray Roberts, Alex Rogers, Michael Vecchione, Peter Harris, Jake Rice, Patricio Bernal (Co-Lead members) 1. Physical, chemical, and ecological characteristics 1.1 Seamounts Seamounts are predominantly submerged volcanoes, mostly extinct, rising hundreds to thousands of metres above the surrounding seafloor. Some also arise through tectonic uplift. The conventional geological definition includes only features greater than 1000 m in height, with the term “knoll” often used to refer to features 100 – 1000 m in height (Yesson et al., 2011). However, seamounts and knolls do not appear to differ much ecologically, and human activity, such as fishing, focuses on both. We therefore include here all such features with heights > 100 m. Only 6.5 per cent of the deep seafloor has been mapped, so the global number of seamounts must be estimated, usually from a combination of satellite altimetry and multibeam data as well as extrapolation based on size-frequency relationships of seamounts for smaller features. Estimates have varied widely as a result of differences in methodologies as well as changes in the resolution of data. Yesson et al. (2011) identified 33,452 seamount and guyot features > 1000 m in height and 138,412 knolls (100 – 1000 m), whereas Harris et al. (2014) identified 10,234 seamount and guyot features, based on a stricter definition that restricted seamounts to conical forms. Estimates of total abundance range to >100,000 seamounts and to 25 million for features > 100 m in height (Smith 1991; Wessel et al., 2010).
