At FFS, marine surveys were conducted at 39 stations by three different Rapid Ecological Assessment teams from two separate research vessels, NOAA Ship Townsend Cromwell (11 -25 Sep 2000) and the Rapture (23- 27 Sep 2000). An additional study of the seawall at Tern Island was conducted in March 2002. A total of 618 marine invertebrate taxa were collected and identified, about 75% to specific level. Of the 622 taxa identified, 502 are considered new records for FFS and perhaps 10 to 20% of these may be new records for the Hawaiian Archipelago. Of these new records, as many as 50 species may be undescribed and so far known only from FFS. Most of material collected by NOW-RAMP from the NWHI remains to be examined, and therefore no conclusions can be drawn yet regarding the distribution of these species throughout the island chain. Two species considered to be nonindigenous, the hydroid Pennariadisticha, and the barnacle Ba/anus reticulatus, were found at FFS. A number of specimens of some taxonomic groups collected from FFS remain to be examined thoroughly by specialists, most notably the polychaetes, which will certainly increase the final species tally. Further study will also be required of the 150 taxa which could not be identified to species level at the time of this report. In September of 2000, the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Rapid Assessment and Monitoring Program (NOW-RAMP) Expedition resurveyed the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The purpose of this multi-agency project was to obtain more detailed information about the marine fauna of these remote islands and represents the first intensive marine invertebrate survey in this region since the Tanager in 1923. This report reviews the findings of the NOW-RAMP survey of French Frigate Shoals. Funding for the analysis of French Frigate Shoals specimens and the preparation of this report was provided by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Funding for the Northwestern Hawaiian Island Rapid Assessment Monitoring Program (NOW-RAMP) survey was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Hawai'i Coral Reef Initiative (HCRI). The NOW-RAMP survey was conducted in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Hawaii Department of Aquatic Resources, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bishop Museum, the University of Hawaiʻi, and the University of California at Santa Cruz. Many of the taxonomic determinations provided in the report would not have been possible without the generous assistance of the following researchers: Sammy DeGrave (shrimp), David Gulko (coral), Gordon Hendler (ophiuroids), Brian Kensley (isopods), Jim Maragos (corals), Patsy McLaughlin (hermit crabs), Peter Ng (crabs), and Chela Zabin (bryozoans). Steve Coles collected the specimens from the Tern Island seawall station, and Pakki Reath assisted in sorting many of the samples. Jim Maragos provided the discussion of the FFS corals, and Lu Eldredge reviewed the manuscript. Lab space and supplies were provided by the Bishop Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded NCEI Accession 0001083 was revised and a new version of the archival package was published.
