1 LESSONS LEARNED FROM A COMMUNITY- BASED MPA NETWORK IN HAWAII Brian Tissot, Washington State University, Vancouver, WA

2 West Hawai`i Aquarium Project Major Investigators: Bill Walsh, Hawai i Division of Aquatic Resources Brian Tissot, Washington State University Vancouver Sara Peck, UH Sea Grant Extension Service West Hawaii Fisheries Council, Kailua-Kona, HI Ivor Williams, Hawai i Division of Aquatic Resources Student Divers: Delisse Ortiz, Jonathan Hultquist, Kathy Greenwood, Mark Albins, Paul Clark, Steve Cotton, Jeff Elba, Karen Geisler, Ranya Henson, Jackie Holbrook, Shaun Norris, Daniel Okumura, Kara Osada, Kim Page, Greg Polloi, Linda Preskitt, Noelani Puniwai, Dan VanRavensway, Todd Wass, Lisa Wedding, Darla White, Rachael Younger, Brian Zyglicynski + many others Others: Bob Nishimoto, Brent Carmen, Pete Hendricks, Hawai i Division of Aquatic Resources Leon Hallacher, University of Hawai i Hilo

3 Lessons Learned 1. Engaged Community & Legislature Need top-down & bottom-up support 2. Strong Natural & Social Science Cooperative research program 3. MPA Network Effectiveness Spillover & Connectivity Connections to fishery

4 Conflict over aquarium fish Shared resources: Harvest vs. view fish Clash over perceived decline

5 Community Engagement 1978: Tropical reef fish conference 1987: Informal agreements 1991: Kona Coast Fishery Management Areas 1996: West Hawaii Reef Working Group 1997: Lost Fish Coalition Tissot & Hallacher, 2003, Conservation Biology, 17(6):

6 Legislative support Act 306: West Hawai`i Regional Fisheries Management Area 1. Designate > 30% of coast as MPAs 2. Involve community in co-management 3. Evaluate effectiveness West Hawai ii Fisheries Council West Hawai ii Aquarium Project

7 Fishery Replenishment Areas (FRAs) Prohibit aquarium fish collecting Closed Dec. 31, North Kohala (20 km 2 ) 2. Puako (51) 3. Ka`upulehu (45) 4. Honokohau (3.8) 5. Kailua-Kona (41) 6. Red Hill (2.5) 7. Honaunau (15) 8. Ho`okena (5.8) 9. Miloli`i (3.9) 35% of West Hawai i coast (0-200 m)

8 Monitoring Program 1. Ten years: 1 yr baseline, 9-yrs closure 2. Funded by NOAA through Hawai`i Coral Reef Initiative Research Program and Hawai`i DAR 3. Mandate through Act Cooperative research program

9 Rigorous BACI Design 5k Observational design block Control Open FRA - collecting + collecting + collecting - collecting Repeated measure BACI design: Among treatments (C-FRA, C-O) Before vs. After Among locations

10 Ten Years of Monitoring control open FRA 23 study sites - established pre-fra (1999) 4-6 surveys per year Every 5 years for corals & habitat Fish categorized into life stages: Adult Juvenile Recruit
