Abstract:
Koralionastes giganteus Kohlm. & Volkm.-Kohlm. sp.nov. is described from subtidal coral slabs of back reefs of two small islands off the coast of Belize, Central America. Koralionastes violaceus Kohlm. & Volkm.-Kohlm. sp.nov. occurs on an island of the Great Barrier Reef, off the Queensland (Australia) coast, and is the first record of the genus outside of the Caribbean. All five Koralionastes species are associated with crustaceous sponges. Key words: Koralionastes, Koralionastes giganteus, Koralionastes violaceus, marine fungi, ascomycetes, corals, sponges.

Abstract:
The use of mangrove prop roots and associated coralline habitats by Caribbean spiny lobsters was investigated near two types of mangrove islands in Belize. Spiny lobsters sheltered among mangrove prop roots, in undercut peat banks and under corals near islands, and they ranged in size from newly recruited juveniles to subadults. Lobsters preferred to shelter under large stony corals, but their use of mangrove prop roots nd undercut peat banks increased when the density of corals was low. Den residence time and distance moved within a site were similar at islands isolated by deep water channels and islands separated by shallow seagrass beds, but as a consequence of high immigration rates, population sizes were highest near shallow islands. Predation on newly settled juveniles was greater in seagrass and coral crevices than in mangrove prop roots, whereas the survival of larger juveniles was higher in mangroves and coral patch reefs than in seagrass. These results suggest that mangrove habitats may function as a nursery for juvenile spiny lobsters but that the use of this habitat depends on shelter characteristics and the isolation of islands.

Abstract:
The new monotypic genus, Ophiodeira, based on the lignicolous marine species O. monosemeia Kohlm. et Volkm.-Kohlm. sp.nov., is described and compared with the closely related Halosarpheia Kohlm. et Kohlm. The new species occurs on Rhizophora mangle in the Caribbean (Belize, Saint Croix, Tobago) and differs from other members of Halosphaeriaceae by a thin stroma, a curved neck, and a single ascospore appendage that develops into a long filament. A total of 35 higher marine fungi have been collected in Saint Croix on mangroves, coral reefs, and sandy beaches, comprising 31 ascomycetes, 2 basidiomycetes and 2 anamorphic fungi. All are new records for this island. New distributional data for several other Caribbean species are also listed. At present, 78 taxa of higher marine fungi are known from the tropical part of the western Atlantic Ocean.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTScleractinian corals harbor microorganisms that form dynamic associations with the coral host and exhibit substantial genetic and ecological diversity. Microbial associates may provide defense against pathogens and serve as bioindicators of changing environmental conditions. Here we describe the bacterial assemblages associated with two of the most common and phylogenetically divergent reef-building corals in the Caribbean,Montastraea faveolataandPorites astreoides. Contrasting life history strategies and disease susceptibilities indicate potential differences in their microbiota and immune function that may in part drive changes in the composition of coral reef communities. The ribotype structure and diversity of coral-associated bacteria within the surface mucosal layer (SML) of healthy corals were assessed using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) fingerprinting and 454 bar-coded pyrosequencing. Corals were sampled at disparate Caribbean locations representing various levels of anthropogenic impact. We demonstrate here thatM. faveolataandP. astreoidesharbor distinct, host-specific bacteria but that specificity varies by species and site.P. astreoidesgenerally hosts a bacterial assemblage of low diversity that is largely dominated by one bacterial genus,Endozoicomonas, within the orderOceanospirillales. The bacterial assemblages associated withM. faveolataare significantly more diverse and exhibit higher specificity at the family level thanP. astreoidesassemblages. Both corals have more bacterial diversity and higher abundances of disease-related bacteria at sites closer to the mainland than at those furthest away. The most diverse bacterial taxa and highest relative abundance of disease-associated bacteria were seen for corals near St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) (2.5 km from shore), and the least diverse taxa and lowest relative abundance were seen for corals near our most pristine site in Belize (20 km from shore). We conclude that the two coral species studied harbor distinct bacterial assemblages within the SML, but the degree to which each species maintains specific microbial associations varies both within each site and across large spatial scales. The taxonomic scale (i.e., phylum versus genus) at which scientists examine coral-microbe associations, in addition to host-elicited factors and environmental fluctuations, must be considered carefully in future studies of the coral holobiont.

From 1983 to 1984, the Center for Advanced Studies and Research in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico (CINVESTAV-Unidad Mérida) conducted an extensive study of reef scleractinians all around the Yucatán peninsula, from Cayos Arcas to the border of Belize. The results were not published. This article aims to preserve the unique information gathered in this study regarding scleractinian taxonomy, nomenclature and health, their species richness, community data and distribution, as well as their reef zonation. Scuba observations and collections were performed daily and nightly from the coast to a depth of 60 m, in 39 transects and 10 single stations, from a total of 141 sites and 174 stations. 4,579 coralla were collected, inventoried and identified. In total, 42 species and one hybrid of 27 genera were determined and four reef types were established: Campeche Bank reefs, reefs in the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, Cozumel Island coral reefs and Chinchorro Bank reefs. The severe negative impact of oil exploiation was evident in Cayos Arcas. Poorly conducted tourism and fishing damaged the reefs in Cozumel, Punta Brava and Isla Mujeres. Scleractinian health did not show significant anomalies. No epizootic phenomena were established. Recruits frequented non-damaged locations. The results obtained in less than 14 months of field work present a quarter-century-old snapshot and baseline for understanding scleractinian life and their role in the reef-building process, and assist in the formulation of recommendations for the conservation of coral reefs in southeastern Mexico.

Abstract:
The ubiquitous Indo-Pacific coral Pocillopora damicornis utilises two modes of larval dispersal; one operates over short distances and involves a brooded, asexually-produced, planula; the second acts over longer distances and involves a sexual propagule. When examined genetically, larval connections between definable populations were weaker between fringing reefs around an island than they were between patch reefs in an embayment of similar dimensions. Differing regimes of water circulation were inferred to explain this pattern. One implication for management is that populations on fringing reefs are more likely to contain singularities than those on patch reefs and will thus contribute more to the total genetic diversity within a species.

Abstract:
One of the world’s most spectacular ecosystems in this world is the coral reef. In Indonesia, Bangka Belitung is one province which has beautiful coral reefs and has become one of the tourist attractions. However, there might be a loss of the coral reefs area that can be caused by natural factors and human activities. This study aims to analyze the distribution and the changing of coral reefs that occurred in the islands of tourist destination in Belitung Regency from 2005 to 2018 and to analyze its factors. Landsat satellite imageries used in this study are Landsat 5 TM, Landsat 7 ETM+, and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS. The distribution of coral reefs will be determined by image data processing. Then, overlay methods are used to analyze the changes and its factors. Based on the analysis, in the year of 2005-2018, there are 3.93 km2 areas of coral reefs that have decreased. On the top of that, there are 1.34 km2 or about 34.04% of coral reefs areas have decreased that caused by non-natural factors. It can be concluded that the decreased of the coral reefs occurred in Belitung tourism destination islands, are still dominated by natural factors rather than a non-natural factor.

Abstract:
The need for a broader geographical and functional perspective in managing natural resources of the Belize barrier reef system was examined. The small country of Belize in Central America is struggling to increase its economic development and growth. It has an excellent natural resource base, the most dramatic component being the extensive barrier reef system just offshore. The research identified key economic and environmental issues relative to Belize’s reef complex, and analyzed resource management policies and actions taken to date. Development and conservation needs suggest a multiple use strategy aimed at economic and environmental sustainability. Due to areal extent and ecological complexity, the present reactive, small-scale and piecemeal approach is not adequate to realize sustainable utilization of the area’s resources. This research shows the need for a broad spatial and interdisciplinary “coastal zone" perspective, leading to a comprehensive and integrated strategy upon which to base resource planning and management. A strategy for the reef system must be accomplished within the broader context of a national resource management strategy, integrating concerns of economic development and environmental protection. As a component of this national policy, the proposed strategy for the barrier reef system is based on principles of multiple use of resources, coastal zone scope, and sustainability. The research supports a reef system-wide protected area, using a biosphere reserve framework and a customized model planning process to implement the strategy.

Abstract:
As shallow reefs continue to decline, scientists are searching for the key to their persistence; as it turns out, they may just need to look deeper. Below many shallow tropical reefs, there exist healthy and more stable mesophotic coral reef communities. The ability of these reefs to act as a refuge for declining shallow populations has garnered significant interest among the scientific community; however, the reproductive and larval aspects necessary for this to occur are unknown. This study assesses the ability of deep reefs to act as a reproductive refuge for shallow counterparts by examining gametic compatibility, viability and larval settlement preferences. Gametes from Orbicella franksi inhabiting the shallow (14-20m) and the upper mesophotic (27-32m) were introduced in a series of inter- and intra-depth crosses and found to be compatible. Larval settlement experiments found no natal depth preference, with deep larvae significantly preferring to settle on shallow conditioned substrate. Our findings support the plausibility of healthy mesophotic reefs acting as a refuge for depauperate shallow populations by (1) providing gametes to mix with limited shallow gametes resulting in increased fertilization and (2) providing larvae that recruit and repopulate shallow reefs. This is the first study to comprehensively evaluate the Deep Reef Refugia Hypothesis from a reproductive and larval settlement standpoint. Our results suggest a close coupling between shallow and mesophotic reefs through gamete and larval export and illustrate the current and future importance of these mesophotic reefs.

Abstract:
Both local and global threats are affecting the health of coral reefs worldwide. In addition to endangering the livelihoods and source of food for millions of people, threats to coral reefs may result in flattening reefs, which reduce habitat complexity and the ability of reefs to protect shorelines from erosion. This could be particularly detrimental to low-lying Pacific atolls like those found in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). I examined the influence of local human disturbance and heat stress on coral and algal community composition in Majuro and Arno Atolls in the RMI to explore how human disturbance affects coral and algal communities, and how to best characterize those communities. With a population of approximately 30,000 people, Majuro is home to the largest population of all of the RMI's 29 atolls and underwent extensive human modifications after American occupation during World War II. By contrast, Arno is home to fewer than 2,000 people and has remained relatively undisturbed. In June of 2016, I conducted benthic surveys at 25 sites along a gradient of human impacts across the two atolls. At each site at 10m depth, I measured percent cover of coral and algae genera and size-frequency of coral. I also utilized limited historical data to explore how reefs had recovered after a thermal stress event in 2014. In order to estimate human disturbance, I used the mean normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of the nearby coastline, which measures vegetation intensity. The coral and macroalgae composition of sites differed by atoll, mean NDVI, and wind and wave exposure, but not by sea surface temperature. The most degraded sites had low macroalgae cover and were dominated by turf algae, sponges, and cyanobacteria. One genus of macroalgae, Halimeda, was associated with sites that had low disturbance, while another, Hypnea, was correlated with higher disturbance. These results suggest that using macroalgae as an indicator of degradation may mask the influence of local human disturbance on reef community composition. Instead, it is important to consider identifying other indicator taxa and to measure coral and macroalgae cover to at least the genus level.

Abstract:
Coral reef resources are under threat globally from liuman-induced changes including; development, pollution, fishing, over-use and climatic change. Here I consider the ecological and economic effects of the scuba diving and snorkelling industries on the coral reefs of the British Virgin Islands (BVI). I begin examining the current ecological impacts of scuba diving and snorkelling across reefs in the BVI; I also look at diver behaviour, and the recovery of hard corals following exposure to diver damage. The intensity of dive and snorkelling use currently appears sustainable. However, there are several sites based on wrecks that are subject to extremely high levels of use, thus the benthic organisms situated at these sites are under significantly greater levels of stress than those situated at other sites. All corals monitored following simulated diver damage showed rapid recovery. However, there were differences in recovery times between hard coral species and types of damage. Coral reef ecosystems are particularly important to the economies of many island nations and help attract tourists as well as providing the basis for excursion industries such as scuba diving and snorkelling. In the later chapters of this thesis I focus on the current and potential value of coral reefs to the BVI by conducting several choice experiments with visual aids. I found a significant consumer surplus related to the guided scuba diving and snorkelling industries of the BVI, both of which were influenced by changes in environmental quality. Finally, ecological and economic methodologies were applied to a specific ecosystem threat. I used the 2005 Caribbean wide bleaching as an example of a catastrophic event experienced by the reefs of the BVI. The ensuing economic and ecological losses were measured and found to be significant. These results demonstrate the strength of a combined ecological and economic approach to reef management.

Abstract:
In order to explore the fishery, oil and gas, and tourism resources in the ocean, Very Large Floating Structures (VLFS) can be deployed near islands and reefs as a logistic base with various functions such as a floating harbor, accommodation, fishery processing, oil and gas exploration, environment surveillance, airplane landing and taking off, etc. However, in addition to the complicated hydroelastic coupling effects between the hydrodynamic loads and structural dynamic responses, when tackling the hydroelastic problems of floating structures deployed near islands and reefs, several other environmental effects and numerical techniques should be taken into account: 1) The influences of the non-uniform incident waves (multi-directions, different wave frequencies); 2) Complex seabed profile and its impact on the incident waves; 3) Nonlinear second order wave exciting forces in the complex mooring system, shallow water and coral reef geological conditions; 4) Parallel computing technology and fast solving methods for the large scale linear equations, accounting for the influence of dramatic increase of number of meshes to the computation efforts and efficiency. In the present paper the theoretical investigation on the hydroelastic responses of VLFS deployed near islands and reefs has been presented. In addition, based on the pulsating source Green function, the high performance parallel fast computing techniques and other numerical methods, in solving large scale linear equations, have been introduced in the three-dimensional hydroelastic analysis package THAFTS. The motions, wave loads, distortions and stresses can be calculated using the present theoretical model and the results can be used in the design and safety assessment of VLFS.
