It compiles all biennial reports submitted by the Member States in an unabridged form and is meant to reflect the measures taken by each Member States to assure the implementation of EU Wildlife Trade Regulations. For their first reporting period, 1997-1998, Member States relied on the unique provisions of the Regulation, laid down in Article 39.5 (939/97) only lays down that the biennial report “shall include details on legislative, regulatory and administrative measures taken to implement and enforce the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 and of this Regulation“ to prepare their biennial report. Based on the assessment of the first reports and in order to assist Member States in preparing their report for the second period, 1999-2000, guidelines on the formulation of biennial reports were developed and made available to the EU authorities in February 2000 for the report to be submitted in June 2001. The aim of the guidelines was to harmonise the reporting, to facilitate the review of the reports and to provide a useful tool to assess the level of compliance of the implementation of wildlife trade regulations by Member States. According to the guidelines, the information in the biennial reports should be arranged under six main headings and a number of sub-headings. Box 1 shows a summary of the proposed headings and the articles of the Regulations that the headings refer to. Table 1 provides a short overview of the report and takes into consideration the headings used by the Member States in their reports. The table gives a general idea of the information provided. In the event some Member States did not systematically follow the proposed format and dealt with certain topics under more general or different headings than the ones suggested, so this table does not reflect the exact content of the reports. With regard to the very detailed and comprehensive information provided in the reports it seemed appropriate to compile the original versions into one document, since any attempt to produce a short sum-up overview version would have inevitably led to an important loss of information. In addition the presentation of all reports in one document seemed to give the best impression of the efforts made by each Member State in producing their report. In order to obtain a harmonised lay out, the reports were revised and transferred to a uniform font. Content-wise no changes were made. Certain documents from the annexes of the reports were not included, as no electronic versions were available. Documents that were not included in the compilation but provided by Member States are listed at the end of the introduction. The reports are presented in the language they were handed in. Germany submitted its report not only in German but also in English, to ease the reading the English version was included in the compilation. 1 TRAFFIC Europe, April 2002 Compilation of EU Wildlife Regulation Implementation Reports Documents that were submitted with the reports but not included in the compilation • Austria: Annexes, (Beilage) 1, 8, 9 and 11 to the Austrian report were not included in the compilation, as they were not submitted as an electronic version. Annex 1 contained texts of two laws, the species marking regulation (Arten-Kennzeichnungsverordnung) and the species trade law (Artenhandelsgesetz). Versions of the laws can be found on the website of the Austrian Federal Environmental Agency (Bundesumweltamt) under http://www.ubavie.gv.at/. Annex 8 was a brochure used at crossing points. Annex 9 was a compilation of all CITES pages of the web-site of the Federal Environmental Agency (Bundesumweltamt). Annex 11 were examples of the Austrian model forms. • France The Annex to the French report that contained an organigram of the Ministry of Regional Planning and the Environment (Ministère de l’aménagement du territoire et de l’environment) and the Direction of Nature and landscape (Direction de la Nature et des Paysages) was not included as no electronic version was submitted. • Ireland: The documents were not submitted in an electronic version.

Reefs attenuate wave energy, in some locations enabling the accretion of fine calcareous sediments which in turn favour establishment of seagrasses and mangroves. Knowledge of the distribution and ecology of both reefs and mangroves increased in the first half of the 20th century. J Alfred Steers participated in the Great Barrier Reef Expedition in 1928, and developed an interest in the geomorphological processes by which islands had formed in this setting. It became clear that many mangrove forests showed a zonation of species and some researchers inferred successional changes, even implying that reefs might transition through a mangrove stage, ultimately forming land. Valentine Chapman studied the ecology of mangroves, and Steers and Chapman described West Indian mangrove islands in the 1940s during the University of Cambridge expedition to Jamaica. These studies provided the background for David Stoddart's participation in the Cambridge Expedition to British Honduras and his PhD examination of three Caribbean atolls.

  • III. Species Richness and Benthic Cover
    2009 Quick Look Report: Miller et al. III. Species Richness and Benthic Cover Background The most species-rich marine communities probably occur on coral reefs and this pattern is at least partly due to the diversity of available habitats and the degree to which species are ecologically restricted to particular niches. Coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean in particular are usually thought to hold the greatest diversity of marine life at several levels of biological diversity. Diversity on coral reefs is strongly influenced by environmental conditions and geographic location, and variations in diversity can be correlated with differences in reef structure. For example, shallow and mid-depth fore-reef habitats in the Caribbean were historically dominated by largely mono-specific zones of just two Acropora species, while the Indo-Pacific has a much greater number of coral species and growth forms. Coral reefs are in a state of decline worldwide from multiple stressors, including physical impacts to habitat, changes in water quality, overfishing, disease outbreaks, and climate change. Coral reefs in a degraded state are often characterized by one or more signs, including low abundances of top-level predators, herbivores, and reef-building corals, but higher abundances of non-hermatypic organisms such as seaweeds. For the Florida Keys, there is little doubt that areas historically dominated by Acropora corals, particularly the shallow (< 6 m) and deeper (8-15 m) fore reef, have changed substantially, largely due to Caribbean-wide disease events and bleaching. However, debate continues regarding other causes of coral reef decline, thus often making it difficult for resource managers to determine which courses of action to take to minimize localized threats in lieu of larger-scale factors such as climate change.

  • Decade-Scale Trend in Sea Water Salinity Revealed Through ฮด<Sup>
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 54(3): 670-678, 1994 DECADE-SCALE TREND IN SEA WATER SALINITY REVEALED THROUGH 8180 ANALYSIS OF MONTASTRAEA ANNULARIS ANNUAL GROWTH BANDS Robert B. Halley, Peter K. Swart, Richard E. Dodge, and J. Harold Hudson ABSTRACT Stable oxygen isotope ratios (1)180) of coral skeletons are influenced by ambient water temperature and by the oxygen isotope ratio in the surrounding sea water, which, in turn, is linked to evaporation (salinity) and precipitation. To investigate this relationship more thor- oughly, we collected hourly temperature data from the Hen and Chickens Reef in the Florida Keys between 1975 and 1988 and compared them to'the 1)180 of Montastraea annularis skeleton that grew during the same interval. To ensure that we obtained the correct oxygen isotopic range in the skeleton we typically sampled the coral at a resolution of 20-30 samples in 1 year; in 1 year we sampled the coral at a resolution of 70 samples·year-'. Despite our high-resolution sampling, we were unable to obtain the full temperature-induced 1)180 range in the skeleton. Our data suggest that, during the summer, evaporation causes isotopic en- richment in the water, partially masking the temperature-induced signal. Our data also show that oxygen isotopic composition of seawater at the reef has increased since 1981. This increase indicates that salinity has increased slightly during the past decade, perhaps as a result of increased evaporation in waters of Florida Bay and the Keys. This phenomenon is probably not caused by a decrease in the outflow of freshwater into Florida Bay from the Everglades but may be related to the measured deficit in precipitation that has occurred over the past decade.

  • Marine Debris in Reef Habitats
    Marine Debris in Reef Habitats Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Lost Fishing Gear is Common in Sanctuary Waters Marine debris is one of the most widespread and persistent forms of pollution affecting the world’s ocean and coastal waters. Plastics, lost fishing gear, derelict vessels and other marine debris can find its way into even the most remote ocean waters where it can harm marine life. While most debris originates from activities taking place at sea, coastal communities also contribute significantly to this global threat. In the Florida Keys, where recreational and commercial fisheries have existed for over 100 years, lost fishing gear and other marine debris have accumulated on the seafloor. Lost or abandoned fishing gear and other trash entangles and harms stony corals, sea fans, sponges, sea turtles, manatees and other marine life. It also degrades seagrass, hard- bottom, coral reef and mangrove habitats and detracts from the natural beauty of the islands. For these and other reasons, citizens and resource managers of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary are concerned about the environmental impacts of all marine debris. Scientists Document Prevalence of Marine Debris Coral researchers from Nova Southeastern University (NSU) Oceanographic Center (formerly with University of North Carolina Wilmington) began conducting Keys-wide surveys of marine debris in 2000 during their assessments of corals, Team OCEAN volunteers use kayaks to collect marine debris. sponges and other benthic (bottom-dwelling) marine life. Since then, debris data have been recorded in 2008, 2010-11, and 2012. The 2012 surveys were conducted in collaboration with scientists from the sanctuary, National Park Service and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and included 600 coral reef and hard-bottom sites from Biscayne National Park to Key West.
