    FORKTAIL 32 (2016): 72–85 The birds of Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and World Heritage Site, Palawan province, Philippines, including accounts of breeding seabird population trends ARNE E. JENSEN & ANGELIQUE SONGCO Data on the seabird population of Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, Palawan province, Philippines, which lies in the Sulu Sea, date back to 1911. However, regular surveys and monitoring began only in 1997 and have resulted in a wealth of new information. An annotated list of the 106 recorded species is presented and changes in the population of the seven breeding seabird species and the factors that influence such changes are discussed. From an estimated 13,500 breeding seabirds in 1981, the population decreased to less than a third of that number in 2003, with the only Philippine population of Masked Booby Sula dactylatra being extirpated in 1995. Thanks to strict enforcement of a no-visitor policy from 1997, the population increased to around 32,300 birds in 2013. The park is the only known breeding area of the subspecies worcesteri of Black Noddy Anous minutus. It hosts the largest breeding colonies of Brown Booby Sula leucogaster, Greater Crested Tern Thalasseus bergii and Brown Noddy A. stolidus, and the second-largest populations of Red-footed Booby Sula sula and Sooty Tern Onychoprion fuscatus, in the Philippine archipelago. Data on other breeding sites of these species in the archipelago are included. Two new species for the Philippines, 14 new species for Palawan province and four globally threatened species, including the Critically Endangered Christmas Frigatebird Fregata andrewsi, together with first Philippine records of Yellow Wagtail Motacilla flava tschutschensis and M.

    Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2002 Edited by Clive Wilkinson PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor Dedication This book is dedicated to all those people who are working to conserve the coral reefs of the world – we thank them for their efforts. It is also dedicated to the International Coral Reef Initiative and partners, one of which is the Government of the United States of America operating through the US Coral Reef Task Force. Of particular mention is the support to the GCRMN from the US Department of State and the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. I wish to make a special dedication to Robert (Bob) E. Johannes (1936-2002) who has spent over 40 years working on coral reefs, especially linking the scientists who research and monitor reefs with the millions of people who live on and beside these resources and often depend for their lives from them. Bob had a rare gift of understanding both sides and advocated a partnership of traditional and modern management for reef conservation. We will miss you Bob!
