The discussion included identification of key gradients in physical, chemical and biological parameters along tHe SoutHeast coast, a review of current monitoring efforts, and an assessment of stakeHolder needs. Sixteen monitoring locations were identified as potential acidification monitoring locations (see page 12). The following three monitoring locations were HigHligHted as priority sites tHat would furtHer our understanding of the chemistry and regional drivers of ocean acidification and address stakeholder needs: (1) Sapelo Island, GA (2) Gulf Stream, offsHore of Gray’s Reef, GA (3) Biscayne National Park, FL The workshop concluded witH a discussion of logistics and opportunities to pursue monitoring at tHe recommended locations. A copy of tHe agenda is included in Appendix 1. PROCEEDINGS Approximately 16 experts gatHered for tHe SOCAN Monitoring Workshop to outline recommendations for priority ocean acidification monitoring locations in tHe SoutHeast (Attendee List, Appendix 2). The worksHop began witH introductory remarks regarding tHe structure and responsibilities of SOCAN and SECOORA. Following the introductory remarks, participants reviewed the proposed agenda; no modifications were made. The first half-day was spent reviewing tHe state of ocean acidification science and regional response. Kim Yates sHared a syntHesis of tHe 2016 SOCAN State of the Science meeting, wHicH included a review of webinars and key findings related to OA chemistry, modeling and organismal response.

    Benthic communities at two remote Pacific coral reefs: eVects of reef habitat, depth, and wave energy gradients on spatial patterns Gareth J. Williams1,7 , Jennifer E. Smith1,7 , Eric J. Conklin2, Jamison M. Gove3,4 , Enric Sala5,6 and Stuart A.

ABSTRACT Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll in the central Pacific are among the most re- mote coral reefs on the planet. Here we describe spatial patterns in their benthic communities across reef habitats and depths, and consider these in the context of oceanographic gradients. Benthic communities at both locations were dominated by calcifying organisms (54–86% cover), namely hard corals (20–74%) and crustose coralline algae (CCA) (10–36%). While turf algae were relatively common at both locations (8–22%), larger fleshy macroalgae were virtually absent at Kingman (<1%) and rare at Palmyra (0.7–9.3%). Hard coral cover was higher, but with low diversity, in more sheltered habitats such as Palmyra’s backreef and Kingman’s patch reefs. Al- most exclusive dominance by slow-growing Porites on Kingman’s patch reefs provides indirect evidence of competitive exclusion, probably late in a successional sequence.

Santa Marta. Colombia. * [email protected] Recibido: 28-02-2011; Aceptado: 11-05-2011 Abstract Recruitment, defined and measured as the incorporation of new individuals (i.e. coral juveniles) into a population, is a fundamental process for ecologists, evolutionists and conservationists due to its direct effect on population structure and function. Because most coral populations are self-feeding, a breakdown in recruitment would lead to local extinction. Recruitment indirectly affects both renewal and maintenance of existing and future coral communities, coral reef biodiversity (bottom-up effect) and therefore coral reef resilience. This process has been used as an indirect measure of individual reproductive success (fitness) and is the final stage of larval dispersal leading to population connectivity. As a result, recruitment has been proposed as an indicator of coral-reef health in marine protected areas, as well as a central aspect of the decision-making process concerning management and conservation.

ABSTRACT.—Cuban coral reefs have been called the “crown jewels of the Caribbean Sea,” but there are few comparative data to validate this claim. Here, we provide an overview of Cuban coral reefs based on surveys carried out between 2010 and 2016 on seven of the main Cuban coral reef systems: Havana, Artemisa, Los Colorados, Punta Francés, Los Canarreos Archipelago, Península Ancón, and Jardines de la Reina. Ecological indicators were evaluated for each of these areas at the community level. Results suggest differences among benthic communities (corals, sponges, and gorgonians) that are most evident for reefs that develop near highly urbanized areas, such as Havana, than for those far from the coast and less accessible. Offshore reefs along the south-central coast at Jardines de la Reina and Península Ancón exhibited high coral density and diversity.

Edmunds, Ph.D., Chair Date: California State University, Northridge ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Peter J. Edmunds first and foremost for being my fearless leader and advisor - for the incredible opportunities and invaluable mentorship he has provided to me as a graduate student in the Polyp Lab. I am ever so grateful for his guidance, endless caffeinated energy, constructive critiques, and dry British humor. I would also like to thank my loyal committee members Drs. Robert Carpenter and Mark Steele at CSUN for their availability and expert advise during this process. Their suggestions have greatly contributed to my thesis. I would not only like to acknowledge Dr. Eric Sanford from UC Davis for serving on my committee, but thank him for his incessant support throughout my career over the last 7 years. I will always admire his contagious enthusiasm for invertebrates, passion for scientific research, and unlimited knowledge about marine ecology. My research would not have been possible without the technical support and assistance from my colleagues in Moorea, French Polynesia and St. John, USVI. I am grateful to Dr. Lorenzo Bramanti, Dr. Steeve Comeau, Vince Moriarty, Nate Spindel, Emily Rivest, Christopher Wall, Darren Brown, Alexandre Yarid, Nicolas Evensen, Craig Didden, the VIERS staff, and undergraduate assistants: Kristin Privitera-Johnson and Amanda Arnold.
