2 Expedition Team Scripps Institution of Oceanography Dr. Stuart Sandin, Professor Dr. Brian Zgliczynski, Postdoctoral Researcher Executive Summary Drs. Stuart Sandin and Brian Zgliczynski visited the Center for Insular Research and Observatory of the Environment (CRIOBE) field station in Mo orea, French Polynesia to establish a collaboration between the 100 Island Challenge team and scientists at CRIOBE. While strategizing scientific goals and research efforts made by both groups, coral reef surveys were conducted around the island of Mo orea. To accomplish the scientific goals of this research expedition, the team employed a collection of standardized approaches to quantify the structure and workings of the benthic community found at Mo orea. Generally, survey sites were identified randomly and each site was separated by 12 km of linear distance along the reef. Each site was georeferenced and by using standardized methods we are able to contextualize the status of coral reefs of Mo orea with reefs through the Pacific as part of the SIO Sandin Lab 100 Island Challenge (100islandchallenge.org). In total, 8 photomosaics were collected at Mo orea along the northwestern side of the island. 2
3 100 Island Challenge Description: This research initiative employs novel approaches for studying coral reef community dynamics through the application of underwater photomosaic technology. Working with colleagues from the University of Miami, we have built a camera system that allows us to capture images of large swaths of the reef surface. Further, by revisiting exact locations multiple times and replicating photography, we have an unprecedented opportunity to track the dynamics of corals and algae. With advanced image analysis, we can track how a reef community changes, addressing questions of coral growth, death, and competition that are currently unresolved. We have fieldtrialed this photomosaic equipment and are developing a reliable image analysis protocol. We are now poised to apply this tool to generate the largescale data of reef community dynamics that have to date been unavailable. Further, by combining these imagebased data with reliable information about the composition of the fish community, the general oceanography, and the human situation of each location, we can begin to elucidate the conditions that are more (or less) conducive to the maintenance of growing and socalled healthy coral reefs. Application to Mo orea: By linking the fates of these reefs to the oceanographic conditions and to the local activities of people, we will be able to start understanding causeand effect pathways for reef change. Given that localscale marine managers consistently seek information on the state of their coral reef, looking for comparisons to help guide local management. Further, by making the data that describe each reef readily available and easy to visualize, there is a terrific opportunity to increase the dialogue between the science and management communities, as well as independently among the managers looking for tangible information to improve their selfmanagement. By working sideby side with regional managers and partners in local NGOs (e.g., the Nature Conservancy, Conservation International), we will expand the scientific insights into the state and future of their reef areas.

4 Mo orea Background Figure 1. Map of Mo orea, French Polynesia. Mo orea is a high island in French Polynesia, part of the Society Islands archipelago. A population of ~16,200 (2007 census) resides on Mo orea, which has a land area of approximately 134 km 2. 4

6 Benthic Photomosaic Survey Methods Benthic photomosaics were completed to collect a permanent record of reef habitat on a larger scale (100m 2 ). The benthic photomosaic system consists of a diver operating a camera system including dual SLR cameras and video camera mounted to a custom frame. The first still camera is setup to use a wideangle 18mm focal length lens to sure high overlap among adjacent images while the second still camera uses a 55mm focal length lens to capture images with subcm resolution. The highresolution wideangle video camera serves as a backup in the event that images from the still cameras are compromised. To obtain the large image covering 10m x10m the diver operating the camera system swims a gridded pattern approximately 1.5 m above the benthos recording images at 1 sec intervals throughout the plot. A pair of lasers is mounted within the frame of the 55mm camera to provide scale in the highresolution imagery. Images are later stitched together analytically using custom algorithms to create a single image file representative of the 100m 2 plot. Figure 3. Photomosaic Data Collection Method. Each mosaic is stitched together from ~2000 photos acquired by swimming back and forth over the reef in the pattern on the left. Figure 4. Photomosaic Processing Method. Once stitched, each mosaic is ecologically postprocessed by tracing individual coral colonies and algae species of interest. Once individual colonies are traced and identified (E), data is exported and run through custom algorithms to evaluate both standard metrics including percent coral cover and more complex spatial statistics.
