    Mantas, Dolphins & Coral Reefs – A Maldives Cruise Naturetrek Tour Report 8 – 17 February 2019 Hawksbill Turtle Manta Ray Short-finned Pilot Whale Black-footed Anemone Fish Report & images compiled by Sara Frost Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Mantas, Dolphins & Coral Reefs – A Maldives Cruise Tour participants: Sara Frost and Chas Anderson (tour leaders) with 15 Naturetrek clients Summary Our time spent cruising around the beautiful Maldivian islands and atolls resulted in some superb marine wildlife encounters, and lovely warm evenings anchored off remote tropical islands, a dazzling variety of colourful fish, numerous turtles and dolphins and a daily visual feast of innumerable shades of turquoise! The highlight was the group’s encounter with a group of 6 Manta Rays while snorkelling. We enjoyed a morning’s excitement as the Mantas appeared and disappeared alongside us, their huge mouths wide open as they fed on the plankton, with all of the group getting fantastic close-up views! Every morning and evening, the group enjoyed a pre-breakfast and pre-dinner snorkel on coral reefs, where the colour and variety of fish was wonderful! Regal Angelfish, parrotfish, sea cucumbers, many different types of butterflyfish and wrasses, Maldive Anemonefish, reef squid, triggerfish, Moorish Idols, both White- and Black- tipped Reef Sharks and Hawksbill Turtles were just a few of the highlights! Back on board, while cruising between atolls, islands and reefs, seven confirmed species of cetacean were seen: several groups of Spinner Dolphins (including one huge group of at least 500), Pan-tropical Spotted Dolphins, both Common and Indo- Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins, plus Fraser’s Dolphins, plus Risso’s Dolphins and two groups of Pilot Whales – the first being very inquisitive and spending an hour with us spy hopping alongside the boat! All in all, it was a wonderful trip that will never be forgotten.

  • Jarvis Island NWR Final
    Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Unincorporated U.S. Territory, Central Pacific Ocean The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has completed the Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) and Environmental Assessment (EA) for Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). The CCP will guide management of the Refuge for the next 15 years. The CCP and EA describe the Service’s preferred alternative for managing the Refuge and its effects on the human environment. Decision Following comprehensive review and analysis, the Service selected Alternative B in the draft EA for implementation because it is the alternative that best meets the following criteria: Achieves the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Achieves the purposes of the Refuge. Will be able to achieve the vision and goals for the Refuge. Maintains and restores the ecological integrity of the habitats and plant and animal populations at the Refuge. Addresses the important issues identified during the scoping process. Addresses the legal mandates of the Service and the Refuge. Is consistent with the scientific principles of sound wildlife management. Can be implemented within the projected fiscal and logistical management constraints associated with the Refuge’s remote location. As described in detail in the CCP and EA, implementing the selected alternative will have no significant impacts on any of the natural or cultural resources identified in the CCP and EA. Public Review The planning process incorporated a variety of public involvement techniques in developing and reviewing the CCP. This included three planning updates, meetings with partners, and public review and comment on the planning documents.

  • Mantas, Dolphins and Coral Reefs – a Maldives Cruise
    Mantas, Dolphins and Coral Reefs – A Maldives Cruise Naturetrek Tour Report 1 - 10 March 2018 Crabs by Pat Dean Hermit Crab by Pat Dean Risso’s Dolphin by Pat Dean Titan Triggerfish by Jenny Willsher Report compiled by Jenny Willsher Images courtesy of Pat Dean & Jenny Willsher Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Mantas, Dolphins and Coral Reefs – A Maldives Cruise Tour participants: Dr Chas Anderson (cruise leader) & Jenny Willsher (leader) with 13 Naturetrek clients Introduction For centuries the Maldives was a place to avoid if you were a seafarer due to its treacherous reefs, and this may have contributed to its largely unspoilt beauty. Now those very same reefs attract many visitors to experience the amazing diversity of marine life that it offers. Sharks and Scorpion fish, Octopus, Lionfish, Turtles and legions of multi-coloured fish of all shapes and sizes are to be found here! Add to that an exciting variety of cetaceans and you have a wildlife paradise. Despite the frustrating hiccoughs experienced by various members of the group in their travels, due to the snowy weather in the UK, we had a successful week in and around this intriguing chain of coral islands. After a brief stay in the lovely Bandos Island Resort (very brief for Pat and Stuart!), which gave us time for some snorkel practice, we boarded the MV Theia, our base for the next week. We soon settled into the daily routine of early morning and evening snorkels, daytimes searching for cetaceans or relaxing, and evening talks by Chas, our local Maldives expert.

  • Larvae of the Moorish Idol, Zanclus Cornutus, Including a Comparison with Other Larval Acanthuroids
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE. 40(3): 494-511. 1987 CORAL REEF PAPER LARVAE OF THE MOORISH IDOL, ZANCLUS CORNUTUS, INCLUDING A COMPARISON WITH OTHER LARVAL ACANTHUROIDS G. David Johnson and Betsy B. Washington ABSTRACT The larvae of Zane/us carnutus are described and illustrated based on one postflexion and several preflexion specimens. In addition to general morphology and pigmentation, bony ornamentation ofthe head bones and other osteological features are described in detail. Head bones and the associated ornamentation are illustrated for larval Zane/us, Siganus. Luvarus and Nasa. These and other aspects of the morphology of larval acanthuroids are compared and discussed within the context of a phylogenetic hypothesis proposed in other current work. Larval characters corroborate the monophyly of the Acanthuroidei and the phyletic sequence, Siganidae, Luvaridae, Zanc1idae, Acanthuridae. The Acanthuridae is represented by three distinct larval forms. The moorish idol, Zane/us cornutus (Linnaeus), Family Zanclidae, occurs in tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific and eastern Pacific. Like the closely related Acanthuridae, adult Zane/us are reef-associated fishes, but the young are spe- cialized for a relatively prolonged pelagic existence. The specialized pelagic pre- juvenile is termed the "acronurus" stage, and, at least in acanthurids, may reach a length of 60 mm or more before settling (Leis and Rennis, 1983). Strasburg (1962) briefly described 13.4 and 16.0-mm SL specimens ofthe monotypic Zan- e/us and illustrated the larger specimens. Eggs, preflexion larvae and small post- flexion larvae of Zane/us have not been described (Leis and Richards, 1984). The primary purposes of this paper are to describe a 9.S-mm SL postflexion larva of Zane/us and to compare its morphology to that of postflexion larvae of other acanthuroids in a phylogenetic context.
