Description:The work presented within the Coral Reef Ecosystem Monitoring Report for the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument 2000—2017 is a direct result of nearly 20 years of research in the U.S. Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument (PRIMNM), conducted over hundreds of field days aboard National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ships, by dozens of contributors from NOAA, University of Hawaii–Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research, and partner scientists. For their efforts, we are eternally grateful and appreciative of their work.
Here, we examine seven islands and atolls within the PRIMNM, using a variety of methods across multiple disciplines in order to gauge how these unique ecosystems have fared through time. In brief, this report describes and highlights the spatial patterns and temporal trends of marine ecosystems associated with Johnston Atoll, Howland Island, Baker Island, Jarvis Island, Palmyra Atoll, Kingman Atoll, and Wake Atoll, along with cross-comparative assessments among the islands, reefs, and atolls of the PRIMNM and other island areas of the U.S. Pacific Islands region in “Chapter 9: Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument in the Pacific-wide Context.”
Each island, reef, and atoll chapter, along with the Pacific-wide chapter, is constructed as follows: Introduction, Benthic Characterization, Ocean and Climate Variability, Coral Reef Benthic Communities, Cryptofauna Biodiversity (in the Pacific-wide chapter only), Microbiota, Reef Fishes, Marine Debris, and Ecosystem Integration.
