We have created ecological forecasts, i.e., ecoforecasts, based on input from a variety of environmental sensors that report in near real-time, and we subsequently send those ecoforecasts to environmental managers. The application behind these ecoforecasts is Python-based software that uses an artificial intelligence (AI) inference engine called an expert system. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Environmental Information Synthesizer (NEIS), formerly the Environmental Information Synthesizer for Expert Systems (EISES), has been developed over two decades to meet the needs of environmental managers and scientists. NEIS integrates environmental data from multiple sources, including in situ and satellite sensors. The application produces ecoforecasts designed to identify environmental conditions conducive to mass coral bleaching and bleaching of specific coral species, as well as other marine environmental events such as algal blooms. This study evaluates the efficacy of coral bleaching ecoforecasts generated by NEIS for the Florida reef tract covering the years 2005–2017.","PeriodicalId":55312,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Marine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70884272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conservation intervention is difficult or ineffective when species lack critical habitat information. To better understand the habitat associations of syngnathids we conducted underwater visual surveys of 79 sites in three habitat categories (Reef, Continuous, and Discontinuous Submerged Rooted Vegetation) in Biscayne National Park (BNP), a coastal Marine Protected Area (MPA) in southeastern Florida. We recorded nine syngnathid species in our surveys; presence/absence data was analyzed alongside a suite of abiotic and biotic variables. Nonparametric statistical tests indicated that syngnathids were significantly more abundant inside Biscayne Bay; we did not detect any syngnathids at reef sites despite reef-associated species being previously reported in BNP. Additional analyses indicated that sites where syngnathids were present were characterized by fine sediment, reduced horizontal visibility, high seagrass coverage, and low coverage of sessile benthic invertebrates and reef-associated turf algae. The most important predictor of syngnathid presence was a predominance of fine sediment—an indicator of low-velocity hydrodynamic conditions—and seagrass coverage at occupied sites was nearly double that of unoccupied sites. Variation in habitat use among the three most abundant sympatric syngnathids (Hippocampus zosterae, Syngnathus scovelli, and Syngnathus floridae) indicates niche partitioning based on salinity, local hydrodynamic regime, and seagrass coverage. Our study points to the value of protecting sheltered seagrass beds; heightened vulnerability habitat change—driven by watershed development, impacts from fisheries, recreation and tourism, and climate change—necessitates coordinated management of land use outside of the protected area.","PeriodicalId":55312,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Marine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70885955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An area of focus is to develop scalable methods for producing D. antillarum through aquaculture from gametes for release onto coral reefs. We had earlier observed that aquaculture-produced D. antillarum lacked the strong diurnal sheltering behavior exhibited by wild individuals. Based upon those findings, subsequent cohorts of aquaculture-produced individuals were therefore maintained under a natural diurnal cycle of UV-filtered sunlight and provided ample access to structure that mimicked its natural shelter. An examination of the sheltering behavior of D. antillarum from one of these cohorts found the pronounced diurnal sheltering behavior typical of wild individuals. This observation underscores the potential that the behavioral deficit observed in earlier hatchery-propagated D. antillarum can be mediated and ecologically functional individuals can be produced through this aquaculture process.","PeriodicalId":55312,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Marine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70885139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By 1990, the goliath grouper population in US waters had declined approximately 95% relative to unfished levels, leading to a harvest ban in 1990. Since then, the south Florida population has grown but the magnitude of recovery remains unknown due to uncertainties about life history characteristics. However, despite these unknowns, the state of Florida approved a limited recreational harvest of goliath grouper. In 2021, fine-scale habitat use of three juvenile goliath grouper was investigated using acoustic telemetry and a positioning solver. All three individuals exhibited high site fidelity as well as a diel habitat use pattern, utilizing seagrass habitat during the night and mangrove habitat during the day. Fine-scale acoustic telemetry provides insight into not only habitat use, but broader habitat preferences as well. This study illustrates the need to consider deep seagrass-dominated channels lined with red mangroves when protecting juvenile goliath grouper populations within Florida Bay, especially as the population is opened to harvest.","PeriodicalId":55312,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Marine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70885669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used a 14-year (2005–2019) coral monitoring data set, utilizing 2242 surveys collected along Florida’s coral reefs (about 530 linear km) to explore the spatial and temporal patterns of DSD occurrence. We built predictive statistical models to test for correlations between a suite of environmental and human impact factors and the occurrence of DSD in the reef coral, Siderastrea siderea. DSD in S. siderea is a chronic disease which occurred in all 14 years of the study. Annual DSD prevalence ranged from 0.45% to 4.4% and the proportion of survey sites that had DSD ranged from 4.8% to 30.9%. During the study period, DSD became more widespread across Florida’s coral reefs and affected a higher proportion of S. siderea populations. Spatial variations in DSD correlated with environmental and human factors which together explained 64.4% of the underlying variability. The most influential factors were concentration of silica in the surface waters (a proxy for freshwater input), the total number of coral hosts, and distance to septic areas. DSD occurred in all regions, but the highest cumulative prevalence occurred in the upper Keys on reefs around major urban centers with links to coastal water discharges. Our results support the hypothesis that coastal water quality is a key component of DSD disease dynamics in Florida and provides motivation for addressing land–sea connections to ameliorate disease occurrence in the region.","PeriodicalId":55312,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Marine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70885688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our goal was to use southern Florida’s coral reefs as the template to complete a holistic, ecosystem-scale evaluation of reef fish community status using large-scale diver surveys that sampled across a spatial gradient of human urbanization, exploitation, and fishery protection. Key aspects of the analysis were: (i) identification of a low human impact reference area as the basis for quantifying resource condition; (ii) selection of indicator variables that helped discriminate two classes of impacts: habitat quality and fishing; (iii) application of estimation methods that facilitated distinguishing anthropogenic impacts from inherent productivity of different habitats; and (iv) use of a sustainability benchmark to gauge the resource condition of the reference area. The reference-centering analysis approach reduced reliance on qualitative judgements by an expert panel and outputted results on a scale that was informative and could be easily interpreted by a variety of audiences. Our findings identified habitat quality issues in the most urbanized region, southeast Florida, and pervasive fishing issues throughout the ecosystem, including the remote Dry Tortugas region.","PeriodicalId":55312,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Marine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135440885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They form by the coral rolling on the seabed which can occur through biological and/or physical processes. While diving and snorkeling in nearshore environments in the upper Florida Keys, we observed hundreds of coralliths of varying sizes and species. This included colonies of Porites astreoides, Siderastrea radians, and Solenastrea bournoni . The largest coralliths we observed were all S. bournoni and ranged between 0.5 and 1.4 m in diameter. The exceptionally large colonies identified (>1 m) may be the largest and oldest spherical coralliths described to date. Relatively frequent movement of a corallith is key to their formation as all colony surfaces must be exposed to sunlight and currents periodically to maintain their spherical shape. Intuitively, the larger a corallith grows, the stronger the current energy must be to initiate movement. Considering the shallow depth of the corallith habitat and the high frequency of tropical storms and hurricanes impacting south Florida, we hypothesized that the forces generated by shoaling, breaking storm waves would be sufficient to cause the formation of these giant coralliths. Calculations based on hydrodynamic forces and field observations after the passage of a storm support the efficacy of storm-generated waves and surge to move and roll these giant coralliths. The tropical storm/hurricane return time where we found these large colonies in the Florida Keys is one in every seven years. This return time is apparently frequent enough to maintain their spherical morphology and assist in the formation of these giant coralliths.","PeriodicalId":55312,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Marine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134884443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One solution is to implement territorial-use rights in fisheries (TURFs), which are a form of coastal property rights that permit fishing by specific individuals or groups within a designated area while excluding all others. In Corredor San Cosme-Punta Coyote (the Corredor), Baja California Sur, small-scale fishers target 11 main reef fish species, of which the Pacific red snapper ( Lutjanus peru ) is the most economically important. In an effort to maintain and secure their fishery resources, the Corredor fishers are interested in implementing additional management strategies to complement existing no-take reserves. Among the different fishery management tools, some locals have considered TURFs as an option to manage their fishing grounds. Using a spatial bioeconomic model, we explore the possible impacts of establishing TURFs in the Corredor to provide fishers with the knowledge necessary to make informed management decisions for their fisheries. Of the five scenarios tested, the three incorporating TURFs had a larger increase in fish abundance, catch, and fisher profit after 20 years in comparison to the status quo and scenarios without TURFs. Conditional on the development of collaborative strategies and effective enforcement among fishers, TURFs may be beneficial to Corredor fishers.","PeriodicalId":55312,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Marine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135402039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
