4 FISH/INVERTEBRATE AND CORAL SURVEY OVERVIEW Survey dates: July 1-9, 2002 Data observed and recorded by: Marjo van den Bulck WATER TEMPERATURE & VISIBILITY One rainy day during this period. Cloud cover was moderate on most days. Water temperature was 26C during the monitoring period, which is the same as in the April monitoring period. Visibility varied from less than 15m to 30m. Average visibility 15m. As compared to the April monitoring period, when a moderate to strong current running from west to east (the reverse direction the current normally runs) was recorded, this period there was hardly any current. TRANSECTS Three (3) transect lines 95m long were set up for the coral line and fish/invertebrate belt surveys. Each line was divided into four 20m sections with 5m intervals, in accordance with accepted monitoring practices. Transect numbers 1 and 2 are on the west side of the bay at depths of 12m and 6m respectively. Transect 3 is on the east side of the bay at 10m. Coral monitoring was carried out over each 20m section with sampling points at.5m intervals. Fish/invertebrate monitoring was done over a contiguous 5m-wide belt along 20m sections of the above described transect lines. Detailed transect setup information can be found in the PortoMarea Marine Monitoring Manual. A lot of the rebars we used to set out our Transects were gone.we had to renew four rebars on Transect # 1, two rebars on Transect # 2 and three rebars on Transect # 3. 3
5 CORAL MONITORING Health The overall general condition of the reef reflects the damage sustained in 1999 from Hurricane Lenny. Large boulder corals were overturned, and the corals subsequently died off. Transects 1 and 2, on the west side of the bay exhibit some regeneration, e.g. new maze and mustard hill corals have begun to grow on the old dead coral boulders. Transect 1 and 3 had a high Blue/Green Algae count. Transect 2 is basically a shallow patch reef, and the high percentage of sand cover reflects between coral patches. Damage Signs of recent damage,e.g. broken hard corals, were recorded along Transect 1. It is assumed that this damage is attributable to divers. FISH/INVERTEBRATE SURVEY Fish- and invertebrate population on Transect # 1 ( 12m depth) seems to decrease compared to the April and January survey periods. More Fish and Invertebrates were counted on Transects # 2 and 3 compared to the April survey period. 4
6 REEF BALL CLUSTERS There are 2 snorkel trails laid out, consisting of 10 reef ball clusters on the west side of the bay at depths ranging from 1.2 to 3.8m, and 12 clusters on the east side of the bay at depths from 1.5 to 4.3m. On April 6, 2002, 6 additional reef ball clusters (approximately 100 balls) were placed on the east side of the bay along the top edge of the inner reef, at an average depth of 4.3m. This brings the total number of clusters to 18. Most of the Reef Balls show heavy algae growth. In the case of Cluster 10R and Cluster 12L, the algae is beginning to overgrow the coral plugs. CORAL PLUGS On February 8, 2002, six (6) varied coral plugs, incorporating a new transplant method, were planted on Cluster 12L. Twenty-four (24) Staghorn coral plugs were planted on Cluster 12L on March 23, These new plugs have been included in the report. On both sides, Cluster 10R and Cluster 12L, the coral plugs are showing signs of stress. Several are covered in heavy algae growth. Cluster 10, right side, ten coral plugs are gone/dead of which eight are Sea Rods. Cluster 12, left side, six staghorn plugs are gone/dead. Staghorn pieces broken off coral plugs were found at Cluster 12L and Cluster 10R. FISH/INVERTEBRATE SURVEY - OBSERVATIONS Compared to the April survey period more Fish and Invertebrates were found on Cluster 13 to 18 on the left side. These are the additional reef balls placed in April. 5
