U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Ecosystem Sciences Division External Review | April 2016 Herbivore Management at Kahekili HFMA, Maui

U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Ecosystem Sciences Division External Review | April 2016 Keka‘a Point (Black Rock) Keka‘a Point (Black Rock) Honokowai Beach Park Honokowai Beach Park N Prohibited: Removing or killing any surgeon fish, parrotfish, or chub Removing or killing any sea urchins Fish feeding Allowed Activities: Fishing/removing all other legally harvested marine life Using bait and/or other attractants while legally fishing The Kahekili Herbivore Fisheries Management Area

U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Ecosystem Sciences Division External Review | April 2016 Crustose Coralline Algae (CCA) Macroalgae

U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Ecosystem Sciences Division External Review | April 2016 Parrotfish Biomass +135% Surgeonfish Biomass + 28% All accumulation of biomass on fished size range > 20cm Fish Assemblages

U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Ecosystem Sciences Division External Review | April 2016 Protection effect as: Only herbivores increased No change in Parrotfish at 6 comparative sites (not shown)

U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Ecosystem Sciences Division External Review | April 2016 Benthos Dramatic increase in CCA at KHFMA No CCA change at comparative sites around Maui Coral cover declining at time of creation ~3 years after closures, stabilized Small increase in coral cover 2012 to early 2015 arrested by bleaching events in 2014 & 15

U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Ecosystem Sciences Division External Review | April 2016 Clear evidence of positive reef community change FISH: Recovery of herbivores, particularly some parrotfishes BENTHOS: Greatly increased CCA, Coral cover stabilized Compliance an issue Looking forward Full effects will take time Severe bleaching event in MHI 2015 – abundant herbivores important for recovery Impacts of herbivore management at KHFMA

U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Ecosystem Sciences Division External Review | April 2016 Effectiveness of Guam Marine Preserves Guam MP created in 1997 (16% of habitat) May-June 2011: 52 RAMP; 81 shore-based No differences in habitat quality between MP and open Mean reef fish biomass MP 2.4* open area (95%CI: ) significant differences for parrotfish, surgeonfish, piscivores Rare and vulnerable species more frequently encountered in preserves

U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Ecosystem Sciences Division External Review | April 2016 Context provided by RAMP 1.Biomass in preserves comparable to remote portions of archipelago 2. Parrotfish assemblage northern islands dominated by large-bodied species southern islands dominated by small-bodied species 3. Guam marine preserves have both

U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Ecosystem Sciences Division External Review | April 2016 Other Projects Hawaii DAR … Parrotfish assessment Samoa DMWR … Climate Vulnerability … Community MMA Assessment American Samoa Marine Sanctuaries … Baseline Assessment

U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Ecosystem Sciences Division External Review | April 2016 Success & Challenges Strong partnerships, particularly Hawai‘i and Samoa Potential for using RAMP to provide context and comparison data Focus on key current issue – resilience and herbivory Soft money Limited success at building working relations in Guam & CNMI Future Directions MHI – resilience and recovery from bleaching Pooling local and national monitoring data w/ jurisdictional partners
