Abstract

Liz Matthews reports on the impacts to corals reefs and associated species in Palau, where a 53-mile coastal road is being cut through forests and mangroves. Numerous secondary activities are resulting in sedimentation, which has flowed downstream onto reef flats. Palau’s reefs are also being impacted by coral bleaching (an event in 1998 that killed nearly 90 per cent of the Acropora sp. corals on many reefs, and bleached and killed many giant clams as well). In Papua New Guinea, Jeff Kinch reports that human population growth has had, and will continue to have, an increasing effect on marine resource use in the Louisiade Islands. He also notes that with increased shellfish exploitation, bivalve shell morphology changes. He explains that gathering within a population over a period of time produces a consistent mortality of large shell individuals.
