Research from @HawaiiReefData on a culturally important reef fish (#Acanthurusachilles) reveals that oceanography and habitat are major drivers of species presence, which is helping inform an adaptive management plan being developed by @DLNR bit.ly/meps_740_161

New in @RSocPublishing – Evidence for managing herbivores for reef resilience – We used >20k surveys from #HIMARC @HawaiiReefData to identify that below 80% of unfished biomass, benthic resilience is compromised Open access: royalsocietypublishing.org/d… Thread 👇

Building consensus around #Data from multiple monitoring programs in Hawaiʻi starts with putting all the datasets in the same place! HIMARC combines SCUBA survey data from multiple data providing organizations, who regularly monitor #CoralReefs around the State of Hawai‘i.

The HIMARC dataset, containing 20,000 surveys measuring fish and benthic data, is one of the most comprehensive in the world for coral reefs and gives us a powerful tool to inform #MarineManagement in Hawaiʻi.

HIMARC’s science addresses the challenges of (1) Providing data-driven support for diverse management objectives at multiple spatial scales, and (2) A need to build consensus from the variety of datasets that exist for the #Nearshore environment of Hawaiʻi. 📷 Bert Weeks

#CoralReefs in Hawaiʻi are among the best studied in the world, but before HIMARC’s work began a decade ago, we lacked agreement on status and trends of the condition of Hawaiʻi’s reefs. Now, our dataset creates consensus and answers the question: How are reefs in Hawaiʻi doing?

HIMARC fills the gap between collecting data and using it to inform decisions to mālama - to take care of - our reefs. Combining thousands of existing fish and benthic datasets allows us to create flexible #DataProducts to fulfill needs of diverse management goals in #Hawaii.

Get to know HIMARC! Our mission is to provide #Scientific support for marine resource management in #Hawaii. By coordinating with academic, community, and government organizations, HIMARC informs effective management decisions that benefit both people and reefs.
