      Reef Check California Update
    By Reef Check California Director of Science Cyndi Dawson

    A new and exciting 2009 lies before Reef Check California and we are looking forward to continuing to solidify RCCA as a major force of change in marine management. Although we, like everyone, are facing new challenges due to the economic crisis, we continue to benefit from the support and dedication of our members which becomes even more critical at times like these. With a new administration comes a new focus on science and a rehabilitation of its use in resource policy making. A notable appointment in the marine policy world was that of Dr. Jane Lubchecho, a marine scientist from Oregon State University, to head the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This is a real sea change (pun intended) on how the United States will manage not only marine resources but climate change as well.

    We have put the final touches on the 2009 Training Schedule and we encourage folks to spread the word and get your friends and neighbors involved! There is no better way to take direct action to improve marine management in California than to become a trained RCCA diver. We are also starting a pilot program this year that will allow non-divers to participate in the classroom portion of the class to learn more about marine management in California, including species identification. If you are an experienced certified diver please visit our training page and sign-up, the spots are going fast!! If you are a non-diver and are interested in taking the RCCA Training Course please contact california@reefcheck.org for more information and pricing.

    We continue to be on the front lines of improving marine management in California and we need your continued support! So if you aren’t a member join us and if you are a diver, sign up for a training in 2009!
      International Year of the Reef 2008 Review
    International Year of the Reef 2008 ReviewThe legacy of The International Year of the Reef 2008 will continue through 2009 and beyond, promoting awareness and generating action for the benefit of the world’s reefs. As exemplified below, the activities and events of this year-long campaign have been eclectic and unbound by geographic or ideological barriers, designed to effectively address the nature of the challenges faced by these underwater ecosystems.

    The first IYOR was held in 1997 by the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) with very limited funding; yet, it raised support and laid the foundation for future actions that included the establishment of the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force and the Coral Reef Conservation Act. In 2005, Reef Check Founder Dr. Gregor Hodgson proposed that a second IYOR be held to stimulate global action for reef conservation. Consequently, IYOR 2008 was launched at the ICRI general meeting in Washington on January 23, 2008, along with the release of the “Status of Caribbean Coral Reefs After Bleaching and Hurricanes in 2005” report which includes Reef Check results from the 2005/6 bleaching event. The Philippines Tourism Authority kicked off IYOR in March at the Philippines Dive Expo (PDX). During the event, Dr. Domingo Ochavillo, former Director of Reef Check Philippines, spoke about the status of Philippines’ reefs, efforts to protect and rehabilitate them, and public involvement. As a result, PDX launched two initiatives dealing with mooring buoy installation and outbreaks of the Crown of Thorns starfish.







    International Declaration of Reef Rights Signed By Citizens Of 157 Countries International Declaration of Reef Rights Signed By Citizens Of 157 Countries

    In honor of the International Year of the Reef 2008, Reef Check launched the International Declaration of Reef Rights in March 2007. This worldwide campaign highlighted the significance of coral reefs and encouraged all people and governments to support coral reef conservation. The campaign was a great success! Citizens from 157 countries signed the Declaration, as well as many leaders in government, science, and art. Dignitaries and celebrities who supported the reefs included: American Samoa Governor Togiola T.A. Tulafono; Malaysia Secretary-General of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Datuk Suboh Mohd Yassin; President of the Republic of Palau Tommy E. Remengesau, Jr.; President of the Federated States of Micronesia Emanual Mori; President of the Republic of the Marshall Islands Kessai Note; and Seychelles President James Michel. Renowned oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle, actress Daryl Hannah, and artist Wyland also signed the Declaration, the first two doing so in an underwater ceremony off the coast of Southern California.

    Reef Check plans to present the list of almost 25,000 names to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as well as leaders of coral reef countries. This list will demonstrate the global commitment of citizens across the world to the cause of reef conservation.

    Also, be sure to check out all the inspiring comments we received from across the globe.
      Reef Check Teams in Action
    EcoAction Update: Caribbean Initiatives
    by Reef Check Executive Director Dr. Gregor Hodgson

    EcoAction Update: Caribbean Initiatives In 2009, the Reef Check EcoDiver Program will see some upgrades, with additional training and pre-requisites added to strengthen the Training of Trainers level. After over ten years of trying, many small island countries are realizing that despite their best intentions, they simply do not have the local capacity or funding to carry out all the detailed ecological monitoring they would like in order to effectively manage their marine resources. In many cases, scientists have made efforts to monitor reefs in great detail, but at high cost with little attention to management needs. When funding runs out, the result is often a complete lack of monitoring for several years. This leaves park managers and government staff struggling to make management decisions with an incomplete picture of the condition of their marine resources.

    In order to address this need, Reef Check is now offering standardized training packages available for groups of ten or more people for a fraction of the cost of a team of highly trained scientists. At the end of the Reef Check training workshops, there will be one or more teams of certified Reef Check divers, a monitoring plan and a commitment from the teams to monitor selected coral reefs at least once per year. Many Caribbean island nations are following the lead of Jamaica and the Dominican Republic and using Reef Check as one of the major tools to ensure that they are able to track their coral reef resources every year in sufficient detail to be useful to government managers.

    Saba
    When most people think of the Netherlands Antilles, it is the southern group of Curacao, Aruba and Bonaire that come to mind. With the leadership of Paul Hoetjes of Reef Care, Reef Check has been active in those islands for many years. In a new initiative, Reef Check is planning to hold a training workshop in Saba this coming April. Saba is a tiny island located in the northeast corner of the Caribbean. It is important because the nearby Saba Bank is a major resource for fisheries and for the oil industry. The Island Council of Saba is very supportive of Reef Check, and in fact would like to see more marine science being carried out in Saba. The Director of Saba Marine Park, Jan Den Delk and his staff have their hands full with the daily work of maintaining the park, and would like Reef Check’s help in facilitating a regular monitoring program in the Park. Local dive shops such as Sea Saba are willing to pitch in and help. Ideally, Saba can help to promote Reef Check teams on all the islands in the area such as St. Eustatius and St. Maarten.

    Trinidad and Tobago
    At the other end of the Caribbean lies the twin island country of Trinidad and Tobago – perhaps most famous for their February Carnaval Festival and steel drums. Among divers, Tobago has long been a favorite destination. The Government of Trinidad and Tobago set up a Marine Protected Area (MPA) in 1973, however, as with many MPAs around the world, monitoring and management are challenging. In January, the Buccoo Reef Trust
    invited Reef Check to help establish a regular monitoring program in Tobago so that managers will have a reliable annual report on changes on the reefs of this important island. A Reef Check training workshop will be offered in Tobago in April/May.

    Puerto Rico
    Puerto Rico is a good example of a territory that is part of one of the richest countries in the world, but which has relatively little standardized coral reef monitoring (the RC California program began in 2005 as a result of similar circumstances). The reality is that governments have many priorities when choosing areas to provide funding, and unfortunately, monitoring to support marine conservation often loses out despite how critical the need is. Therefore, even in relatively prosperous economies, Reef Check has a major role to play. A Reef Check EcoDiver training will be held in collaboration with OPAS, a local NGO, early this year.

    If you would like to sign up for a training in any of the above locations or would like to set up a training anywher
    e in the tropics this year, please contact: ecoaction@reefcheck.org.







    Reef Check South Africa Launches New Programs For 2009
    by SAUES Coordinator Charmaine Green

    Reef Check South Africa Launches New Programs Reef Check South Africa used the 2008 International Year of the Reef period to train and certify a large contingent of new EcoDivers who will be used to assist with Reef Check surveys in 2009.  In addition to the new EcoDivers, Reef Check South Africa will re-mobilize the teams initially involved in the 1997 International Year of the Reef and thereafter.  Due to the diversified coastline of South Africa, Reef Check SA will initiate 2 survey programs in 2009- one will be on the East Coast with surveys conducted in the warm tropical waters and the other on the West Coast in more temperate waters.  Additionally, Reef Check South Africa intends to launch its “Reef Check Adventures” program for all scholars and students and through this initiative, create awareness of the plight of coral reefs and secondly motivate kids to become actively involved in the EcoAction courses and research trips.

  • Year in Review: Letter From the Director

    Friday, Jan 30, 2009 5:57AM / Standard Entry

    Year in Review: Letter From the Director
    By Reef Check Executive Director Dr. Gregor Hodgson

    The 2008 International Year of the Reef has been highly productive for Reef Check.  In 1997, Reef Check began as a global science project to train citizen scientists to monitor the health of the world’s reefs. It was not until 2005 that we left the university environment to become an independent non-profit.  From an organizational perspective – we are still in a start-up stage, working to build our programs and gain the support of a diverse base of members, donors and corporate sponsors. At times like this when the economy is in decline, I am grateful that our programs can continue because they rely primarily on the work of thousands of volunteers and a few dedicated staff.

    With programs in over 90 countries, there are always a lot of Reef Check activities throughout the world. Some key accomplishments for 2008 include:
    1) Over 20,000 people from 157 countries (including Moldova and Slovenia!) signed the Declaration of Reef Rights led by the President of Palau, Dr Sylvia Earle and environmentalist Daryl Hannah.
    2) A 100 page report published on the first underwater survey of the entire coast of California by citizen scientists.
    3)  RC Dominican Republic was asked to co-manage La Caleta Marine Park by DR government
    4) Government of Jamaica included 31 Reef Check sites in national monitoring program
    5) RC Egypt teamed with PERSGA to resurvey 35 sites in six Red Sea countries
    6) RC Indonesia launched Marine Management Area at Bondalem village in Buleleng, Bali.
    7) RC Maldives documented amazing recovery of local reefs from 1997-98 bleaching event.
    8) RC helps to list all reef-building corals on IUCN Red List published in the journal Science.
    9) RC presents 10-year data analysis showing recovery of Indo-Pacific reefs at International Coral Reef Symposium.
    10) Increased our membership from 6,000 to over 25,000 people.

    In addition, Reef Check carried out a major survey of the Mussandam Peninsula, an impressive dive location in Oman, discovering extremely high coral cover and an abundance of endemic fish and corals. (see 2009 EcoExpedition)

    As a novice diver in the 1970s, I had the good fortune to dive on reefs throughout the world before overfishing and other impacts damaged them. As we have reported since our first global coral reef survey in 1997, it is now very difficult to find locations such as Mussandam where human impacts are relatively low and the reefs are in excellent condition.  As an example, the two species of coral most common in the Caribbean in the 1970s (staghorn and elkhorn) are now on the US Endangered Species List. And yet, the data collected by our volunteer citizen scientists around the world indicate that there is still hope, and that the decline of coral reefs has slowed. Marine Protected Areas are starting to provide benefits and recovery of damaged reefs is possible as evidenced by the Maldives where reefs severely damaged by bleaching in 1998 have now recovered.

    If we all work together to raise awareness and protect reefs from human impacts including greenhouse gas buildup, there is still time to save these gorgeous and invaluable ecosystems for our children and grandchildren.


  • November transect line!!!

    Saturday, Dec 6, 2008 7:21AM / Standard Entry

    <b>Reef Rescue 2008 was a big success!</b>

     

    Over 300 guests attended the Reef Rescue 2008 Gala on November 15 to raise awareness about the coral reef crisis and threats to California marine life. Reef Check’s 6th annual fundraising event at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California honored Greg MacGillivray of MacGillivray Freeman Films with the 2008 Spirit of the Reef Award for documenting the beauty and fragility of the reefs and oceans in IMAX splendor in films such as Coral Reef Adventure and The Living Sea. Besides having over 40 large format films to his credit, Greg is also known to surfers for creating the surfing classic, “Five Summer Stories.”

     

    Reef Rescue 2008 was attended by celebrities including actresses Kelly Hu and Nia Peeples, musician Mitch Allan, and Olympian Carl Lewis. Some highlights of the evening included the silent auction bidding wars among the tropical tanks during the cocktail hour and the Halau Hula O' Nalikokauikawekiulani group wowing guests with their beautiful hula performance. A charming rendition of the “Year of the Reef” song by a children’s choir provided the transition to dinner. Fourteen year old Annie Schwab from Chicago made a special trip to Reef Rescue to share her story with event attendees. Earlier this year, Annie raised over $6000 for Reef Check.

     

    Guests also enjoyed a scuba exhibition at the California tank demonstrating Reef Check surveying. A moving acceptance speech was given by Greg MacGillivray who shared his mission of using film to make a positive impact on the world.

     

    Many thanks to all our sponsors, donors, and guests for their invaluable participation! We look forward to seeing you next year.

    <b>Reef Check California Update

     

    November marks the final wrap-up of the survey season. We have a few diehard Reef Checkers still completing surveys as I write this, but the 2009 survey statistics to date are truly impressive and beyond our wildest expectations for only our third survey season! Reef Check CA divers completed over 70 surveys at over 60 sites from Crescent City to San Diego. The dedication and commitment of RCCA divers and members has allowed us to have the data in three short years to truly start to take an active role informing marine management in California. As we were finishing up the data collection and posting on the Nearshore Ecosystem Database (NED) we had the opportunity to present RCCA’s accomplishments to the Ocean Protection Council at their recent meeting in San Pedro. You can see the testimony here (navigate to the beginning portion of the meeting on Nov. 21 during Sam Schuchat’s report). RCCA continues our close collaboration with marine management agencies to ensure that the high quality data we are collecting is making a real difference.

     

    This month we also completed cruises on both National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) research vessels. Our close collaboration with marine managers, scientifically robust protocols, and high data quality standards has given RCCA divers access to these research vessels. The vessel crews, who almost solely work with professional scientists, made sure to let us know they were very impressed with the professionalism of RCCA staff and divers. Vessel costs are one of the largest expenses to conduct subtidal surveys; the support of these agencies covers the boat operations costs and allows RCCA divers a unique opportunity to operate on scientific research vessels. We look forward to continuing to build these strong partnerships which will help RCCA to expand our monitoring network in the future.

     

    You can check out what our divers have been up to at the following:

    Nor/Cen Cal -11/1-2 Cruise on NOAA vessel AAUS divers

    Ocean Cove is done! Amazing Day, Amazing Divers

    LA: Avalon Dive Park, Saturday November 1

    Channel Islands 4 day survey on DFG boat 11/3-6 DONE!!

     

    We continue to be on the front lines of improving marine management in California and we need your continued support! Your donations to RCCA go directly to support the collection of the critical data needed to manage California’s marine resources sustainably. So if you aren’t a member, join us, and if you are a diver, sign up for a training in 2009! 

     

    <b> International Year of the Reef Update </b>

     

    What better time to release the latest “Status of Coral Reefs of the World” report than during the event that will celebrate the culmination of the International Year of the Reef? This event will be held at the National Aquarium in Washington DC on December 9, 2008. Government and non-government representatives from all over the world will be invited to attend.  This is the fourth “Status of Coral Reefs of the World” report, produced with the collaboration of groups such as the Australian Institute of Marine Science, The Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network, REEFBASE, the World Conservation Union, Reef Check, the Coral Reef Alliance, the International Coral Reef Action Network, NOAA, the Australian Government, and WWF. Report editor, Dr. Clive Wilkinson, will be present at the event to discuss the latest coral reef trends.

     

    And if you thought Photo Contest fun was over… think again!  Oceanic Worldwide and Reef Check are partnering to create a Marine Eco-Awareness calendar that celebrates the accomplishments of IYOR 2008 by featuring images from the contest and information about the world’s reefs.  Keep your eyes open; this can be the perfect green-marine holiday present.

     

    Speaking of photos, the photography exhibition by amateur photographers titled “Paradise Despoiled: The World’s Threatened Coral Reefs” will showcase the beauty and the magnificence of reefs and marine environments, and also the human impacts that threaten them.  The exhibition, a contribution to IYOR 2008, will be held at Morse College of Yale University on Sunday, November 30, 2008.  If you are in the area, make sure to stop by! For more information please contact Tse Yang Lim.

     

    One month left! Don't forget about the International Singing Contest on Video featuring the "Year of the Reef” song. Hosted by Body Glove and Reef Lab, cash prizes will be awarded to the winning videos. If you have been looking for some inspiration to get your video going, go to the Singing Contest Website and check out the videos submitted by both the Taiwan and Trinidad and Tobago groups!  Both countries have done an excellent job at giving the “Year of the Reef” song a local feel.  So grab your group mates, some local instruments and a video recorder, and go to your favorite hangout to film while you sing.  Then upload your video to our website.  You will have learned about reefs and will have a chance to win $1000, $600, or $300. But don’t wait too long, the contest closes for submissions on December 31, 2008!

     

    <b>Second OceansWatch Reef Check Training In Tonga</b>

    <i>by Jane Pares  </i>

     

    The cruising season in the South Pacific is coming to a close, and some cruisers have already made their way to New Zealand where they’ll stay over the hurricane season.

     

    Among the OceansWatch members heading back for the second time are Beth and Ken Cone on Eagle Wings and David and Gail Funk on Fifth Season.  But before making the passage, they’ve participated in the OceansWatch Reef Check course in the Kingdom of Tonga.  This is the second course run in Tonga for OceansWatch members- the first was in April this year and had ten participants.

     

    OceansWatch member, Glenn Edney owns and runs OceanBlue Adventures on the island of Foa, and is accredited by Reef Check to run their EcoDiver Course for OceansWatch members.  He has considerable knowledge and experience of the underwater world– Glenn has been diving in Tongan waters since 1992 and has written a book on New Zealand’s Poor Knights Marine Reserve.  Janey Pares (OW Media and Membership) and Glenn run the OceansWatch Reef Check course from their dive and whale watching base in the Ha’apai Islands.  Rachel Agnew, an OW member who runs www.scubadive.net.nz - a diver forum - also joined them for the course.

     

    The training location is beautiful; Ha’apai, a sheltered, turquoise lagoon, is Tonga’s best kept secret and the perfect place to learn about coral reefs. Its horizon is dominated by the dormant volcanic cone of Kao and Tofua, an active volcano that is infamous for hosting the mutinous crew from the British Navy’s HMS Bounty!  It is particularly ideal for cruisers, as they can anchor off the beach, safely tucked in behind the reef, and come ashore each day for instruction.  OceanBlue Adventures is also the only dive operator based here.

     

    The theory section of the OceansWatch Reef Check course, which involves identification of substrate, bleaching, predation, damage, disease, and of fish and invertebrate reef health indicator species, is taught at OceanBlue Adventure’s base behind the beach.  The underwater practical work is undertaken from both the beach and the dive boat, making use of the home reef and other reefs further offshore in the lagoon.

     

    The course ran for five days. Each day included intensive learning in both theory and practical sessions.  Several theory tests and a full underwater survey completed the course and need to be passed in order to gain the certification.  All the participants happily passed and said the following about their experiences:

     

    “What a wonderful opportunity to learn and be useful at the same time.”

    “Every day brought new insights and surprising facts!”

    “The last 12 years of diving I have focused on fish identification and photography.  Reef Check has really opened my eyes to the variety of coral and invertebrates.”

     

    OceansWatch links sailors and divers together with marine conservation projects, and forms partnerships with local island communities to work with them to find practical solutions to some of their most basic of problems.

     

    <b>Ocean Star's Students Survey The Reefs In Soufriere</b>

    <i>by Sea|mester Chief Scientist Jessica Fry </i>

     

    Last month 14 students from Sea|mester programs and the Schooner Ocean Star proudly conducted three Reef Check surveys in Soufriere, St Lucia. This semester began in the British Virgin Islands on 20th September 2008, where most of the students took their first breaths underwater. After a month of Marine Biology and Oceanography classes, accompanied by many underwater adventures, they were all ready and excited to begin surveying.

     

    On the 21st of October 2008, park rangers and staff from the Soufriere Marine Management Area (SMMA) briefed us on the successes of the Marine Park and their work. Over the next two days, we surveyed three sites: Rachette Point, Superman’s Flight (at the base of the Petit Piton) and Grande Caille, all in the Soufriere area. Peter Butcher and the park rangers were extremely helpful, laying out the transect tapes prior to our dives and facilitating the dives with the use of their boat.

     

    The reefs are looking good; there was little sign of bleaching, especially compared to previous years, such as 2005. Unfortunately there was some coral damage due to the swells the previous week from Hurricane Omar, which passed 200 miles to the north. Many islands in the eastern Caribbean experienced 6-12ft swells during the hurricane. We noticed many gorgonian sea fans ripped from the substrate, particularly at the 5m survey site in Grande Caille. At the other sites there were signs of hard coral damage, again particularly at the 5m site.

     

    Everyone enjoyed some great diving, of particular interest were a couple of sightings of the “peafish”– juvenile smooth trunkfish (Lactophrys triqueter) – and many spinyhead blennies (Acanthemblemaria spinosa).
