Overview of Ecology of Coral Reefs in Hawai,'i Brian N. Tissot Kalakaua Marine Education Center A. Uniqueness of Hawaiian Ecology The ecology of coral reefs in Hawai'i is unique compared to reefs in other tropical areas. Hawaiian reefs are unique for several reasons: 1. They are geologically young and therefore not as well developed as other reefs. Most reefs in the windward islands of Hawai'i, Maui, O'ahu and Kaua'i are small and occur relatively close to shore. As these reefs grow and develop they are called fringing reefs, which eventually develop into barrier reefs, which occur in Kaneohe Bay on O'ahu and on the south shore of Moloka'i. There is a general westward trend towards greater reef development which coincides with the geologic ages of the islands. Superimposed upon this pattern, however, is the effects of wave exposure: in general more sheltered leeward coasts have reefs with greater coral cover than wave-pounded windward coasts (see Grigg, 1983 Narrow coral reef at Puako on the Big Island, typical of young Hawaiian coral reefs 2. As a consequence of their younger age and the general absence of barrier reefs in the windward islands, Hawaiian reefs are generally less productive than other reefs. With smaller reef areas and the absence of lagoons that trap and retain both coastal and terrestrial runoff, Hawaiian reefs are generally more nutrient poor and therefore lack a high abundance of filter feeding animals such as soft corals, sponges, tunicates, and bivalves. As a result, Hawaiian reefs are more clearly dominated by corals.

A beautiful nesting brown noddy on Catto Key in Grahams Harbor, San Salvador, Bahamas. See other beautiful phenomena from the Bahamas. Tropical Field Courses Western Program Miami University Taryn Nye Angelfish The Angelfish is a very important reef fish in many tropical ecosystems, especially in the Indo Pacific and the Southwestern Atlantic. These fish have disc shaped bodies, small mouths, comb-like teeth, and vibrant colors; they are of close relation to the butterfly fish. Butterflyfishes and Angelfishes are both in the family Chaetodontidae. Many characteristics (like coloration) of angelfish change between their juvenile and adult life spans. These fish are often disease resistant; they live long, and are known to make good aquarium fish. When the dominant male in the habitat leaves a female often undergoes a sex change and takes over the dominant male role. However, some species are known to be mates for life. The angelfish is active at day and sheltered at night. They are sometimes known as coral fish and are recognized by their amazing colors. I believe this is one of the many important topics on marine fish. These angelfish can teach us not only about themselves but about the important relationships to all fish in the tropical oceans. Many of the behaviors and conditions of the angelfish apply to others as well. The angelfish particularly is interesting because of its many unique behaviors. However, they are involved in the universal conservation and preservation efforts of the tropical ecosystems. Most of all I think they are beautiful fish that can be very interesting to study.

Comments Coral Reefs: Ecology and Evolution April 6, 2009 Daniel Thornhill postdoctoral scholar, marine biology Marine biologist Dan Thornhill discusses his work investigating the physiological, ecological, and evolutionary processes driving speciation in marine environments. Recently, he has studied marine organisms from tropical coral reefs, Norwegian fjords, deep-sea methane seeps, and the waters around Antarctica. In the near term, much of his work will focus on symbioses in corals and siboglinid annelids. In addition to being important "keystone" species in coral reef and chemosynthetic ecosystems, these organisms offer a diversity of both host and symbiont taxa, enabling comparative testing of many ecological and evolutionary hypotheses.

Kelp forests Coral reefs Ocean banks Continental shelf Neritic zone Straits ... Benthic zone Coral reefs are underwater structures made from calcium carbonate secreted by corals . Corals are colonies of tiny living animals found in marine waters containing few nutrients. Most coral reefs are built from stony corals , and are formed by polyps that live together in groups. The polyps secrete a hard carbonate exoskeleton which provides support and protection for the body of each polyp. Reefs grow best in warm, shallow, clear, sunny and agitated waters. Often called “rainforests of the sea”, coral reefs form some of the most diverse ecosystems on earth. They occupy less than one tenth of one percent of the world ocean surface, about half the area of France, yet they provide a home for twenty-five percent of all marine species, including fish molluscs echinoderms and sponges Paradoxically, coral reefs flourish even though they are surrounded by ocean waters that provide few nutrients. They are most commonly found at shallow depths in tropical waters, particularly in the
