Physical parameters examined included: wave exposure, water motion, sedimentation levels and water quality (temperature, salinity, and turbidity). Nine long-term monitoring sites have been established since 1989. The original intention of this project when we began in 1989 was to document spatial and temporal changes at selected reef sites along the Maui coastline in order to characterize the coral reef communities. Since that time we have broadened our scope to examine causal factors that might help explain the observed patterns in coral coverage and fish density. These factors have been delineated into natural (temperature, visibility, salinity, sediment influence, and wave exposure) and human-induced parameters (fish feeding impacts, protection from fishing, proximity to elevated nutrient levels from sewage, and overall human use patterns). In particular, we are trying to address the issue of coral reef health, how to assess it, and what factors contribute to the decline or recovery of a coralreef ecosystem. Our specific objectives for the 1997 project are outlined below. 1. Document coral species coverage and species richness in the daytime at Honolua Bay, Kahekili Park, Puamana and Olowalu and compare data with earlier baseline work to detect changes at each site over time. 2. Examine relative density and species richness of fish in the daytime at Honolua Bay, Kahekili Park, Puamana and Olowalu and compare data with earlier baseline work to detect changes at each site over time. 3. Analyze water quality characteristics (temperature, visibility and salinity) at each dive site and examine temporal trends for these values. 4. Measure physical parameters (sediment influence and water motion) at each of our dive sites to quantify the impact from these structuring factors. 5. Survey additional sites to characterize reef communities with respect along an environmental gradient reflecting degree of wave exposure. 6. Investigate changes in the trophic composition of the fish communities at Honolua Bay, Kahekili Park, Puamana and Olowalu. 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 9900242 was revised and a new version of the archival package was published.

The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.
