The NOAA Coral Reef Information System (http://www.coris.noaa.gov) was developed to be a single point of access to NOAA coral reef information and data products. One of its goals is to provide access to scientific data and information that can help communicate both the wonders of coral reefs as
well as the factors that threaten their survival.

As someone involved with coral reefs, your feedback on local coral reef information needs will be extremely helpful to improving CoRIS and making it an effective tool for communicating coral reef science.

Please feel free to contact Sara Peck from UH Sea Grant (peck@hawaii.edu) if you have any questions or concerns, or if you'd like to set up an additional meeting that might fit into the schedule.

NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) is funding a project to provide protected species managers with a better understanding of Hawaiian monk seal health, exposure to endemic iseases, foraging ecology, and habitat use in the main Hawaiian Islands. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Research efforts have historically focused on the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands but comparatively little is known about the monk seal in the main Hawaiian Islands. Selected seals will be fitted with satellite transmitters to track location and dive patterns.

WHAT: Presentation on the Hawaiian Monk Seal study followed by public discussion

WHEN: 7 - 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2003

WHERE: Waikiki Aquarium

WHO: Bud Antonelis, Ph.D

The Hawai`i Aquatics Conferences arose from the realization that aquatics research, management, education and policy planning in Hawaii consist of
many individual and generally uncoordinated efforts by people who rarely interact with one another. Holding a state-wide meeting every two years provides a regular forum for managers, practitioners, educators, conservationists, policy makers and the general public to share information and ideas on better ways to manage integrated aquatic systems (streams and
riparian areas, wetlands, estuaries, lagoons, coral reefs, and nearshore waters) and to explore various resource management approaches.

You may register by emailing the above information to stimson@aloha.net or mailing it to Carol Stimson, 1113 Hui Street, Kailua, HI 96734, by Monday, October 27, to be sure to reserve a seat. You may also register at the door, space permitting.

A registration fee of $30 for both days, or $15 per day, covers attendance, coffee, lunches, and Saturday reception. Please make your check payable to Hawaii Audubon Society and mail it to Carol Stimson at the above address or pay at registration on November 1.

The conference will be held in Room Science 10A at the west end of Maui Community College. Free parking is available. A free shuttle will run between the airport and conference site for off-island attendees.

The primary purpose of the workshop is to help focus the development of a Local Action Strategy for coral reef fishery management in Hawai'i in association with the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force. Pre-workshop dialog (held in Oct 2003) will be included in this meeting.

Marine Gap coordinators: We'll be presenting more on the basis and actual workings of the dataset and how we create a marine geodatabase. From there we'll walk
you through our Marxan approach from the data gathering to the data inputting, to the end results. With this background we'll solicit comments from all participants on what to include in our analysis,
focusing on the cost surface analysis. Everyone's input is valuable especially when brainstorming data sources and building the foundation for an integrated approach.

We are still requesting any data sources, no matter what size or scale, on species and community distributions. As we begin to incorporate various data sources, we will build a foundation for future
data gathering efforts. Please contact me at any time if you have questions regarding what type of data we want, what format or anything else you need addressed. I hope to see you there bright-eyed and ready to participate.

Please RSVP if you plan on attending (and if a egetarian lunch is preferred). Also let me know if there are others you would like to see in attendance that were not personally invited. I'll send an update
message with the agenda as the workshop approaches. Mahalo nui loa, a hui hou.
