Slide1

PIRO

Coral Reef Ecosystem Management Needs

Gerry Davis, PIRO Habitat ARA

PIFSC External Review

April 2016

Slide2
Management Uses of PIFSC Data (to date)

Showed resource status linkage to human population densities (Pacific-wide

ecosystem

monitoring)Characterized reef resources for PMNM management planning (archipelagic RAMP cruise reports)

Helped prioritize sites for possible management (larval

transport information)

Identified presence of invasive species (ARMS

genetic

analysis)Helped guide EFH reviews and refine HAPC (nearshore reef maps)Informed adaptive management and impacts of regulations (socioeconomic data)

Slide3
Challenges to Using PIFSC

Data for Management

Spatial-scale of RAMP data is often too broad for use in EFH or ESA consultationsData availability can be a challenge

PIFSC and PIRO have built coral reef programs around different mandates

Slide4
Data PIRO Needs for Management

Detailed assessments at local priority sites

i.e., high development potentia

Slide5
Data PIRO Needs for Management

2) Data to inform adaptive management options and causality

Slide6
Data PIRO Needs for Management

3a) Data to understand major threats to local coral reefs

e.g., watershed level EFH and ESA-species

Land-based sedimentation/ storm-water/ pollution impacts

Slide7

3b)

Data to understand major threats to local coral reefs

e.g., watershed level EFH and ESA-speciesLand-based sedimentation/ pollution

Fishing impacts to coral reef ecosystems

Conclusion and Recommendations

PIFSC

is a willing and interested partnerHowever- historically constrained by funding

PIFSC-CREP data has been useful to management in a general way

Priority needs for ecosystem science to support management: Studies to:

Understand local sites of high potential impacts
