Coral reefs are increasingly under threat, necessitating an emphasis to identify coral reefs with reduced susceptibilities to local and/or global anthropogenic impacts. Mesophotic coral reefs (MCEs; >30m) are proposed as potential refugia and/or propagule sources, yet little information is known about deep reefs' abilities to harbor, replenish, or conserve shallow species. In this dissertation, I examine the plausibility of MCEs to act as refugia for shallow reef fishes in the Hawaiian Islands. Chapter One explores reef fish community structure and habitat composition along a 3-50m gradient in West Hawai'i. Reef fish communities change gradually with depth, with >78% of species observed at mesophotic depths (>30m) found at shallow depths. Changes in community structure are linked closely with feeding behavior, with shallow reefs dominated by herbivores, while mesophotic reefs are dominated by invertivore and planktivore trophic assemblages. Changes in fish assemblages are tied to indirect effects of depth and available coral habitat, as deeper reefs contain more patchily-distributed habitat. Chapter Two examines mechanisms underlying herbivorous fish distributions using a suite of observational and experimental field and laboratory techniques. Herbivorous fishes are not limited by food resources at MCE depths, as MCE algae had similar nutritional content, species assemblages, and appears to be highly palatable from algal choice experiments. Instead, changes with depth are likely the result of top-down, non-consumptive predation effects and behavioral choices. Chapter Three undertakes a critical analysis of the deep refugia hypothesis for coral reef fishes across the Main Hawaiian Islands. Upper MCEs (30-60m) may act as refugia for shallow reef fishes, as we found they are more thermally stable and >70% of reef fishes encountered were shallow species. Conversely, MCEs contain reduced densities of reef fishes and communities are comprised almost solely of invertivore and planktivore trophic groups. The near-absence of herbivorous fishes below 30m indicate MCEs will have a limited capacity to re-seed shallow reefs with species of ecological or economic importance. Overall, MCEs may act as refugia for biodiversity conservation but their ability to restock shallow reef fish communities will result in fundamentally different community compositions that shift towards smaller-bodied and less economically/ecologically valuable species.

"This capacity assessment is a component of the coral reef management priority setting process facilitated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Coral Reef Conservation Program (NOAA CRCP) and initiated in 2009. The stated purpose of this process was "to develop place-based, local coral reef management priorities" for the seven United States (U.S.)state and territorial coral reef jurisdictions, including Hawaii. In Hawaii, the priorities in the 2010 publication of Hawaiian Archipelago' Coral Reef Management Priorities (henceforth, the "Priority Setting Document," or "PSD") were largely created in support of the ongoing development of the Hawaii Coral Reef Strategy: Priorities for Management in the Main Hawaiian Islands 2010-2020 (henceforth, the "Strategy") and The Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument Management Plan. Given that, the Strategy was the main lens for the capacity assessment process. For the purposes of this assessment, our scope included exclusively the Main Hawaiian Islands (also referred to as Hawaii and State of Hawaii as distinctive terms that are more appropriate in a given context). The Strategy includes, in Section 6, a brief summary of governance capacity issues in Hawaii entitled "Capacity Gaps." In this section, the Strategy states that, "The HCRS [the Strategy] cannot be implemented effectively without addressing capacity gaps in coral reef management." In September 2011, NOAA CRCP hired SustainaMetrix to conduct a more detailed assessment across all seven coral jurisdictions including Hawaii, which expands on this initial effort to address capacity gaps in ecosystem governance for coral reef management in Hawaii. This report summarizes the findings of our capacity assessment conducted in Hawaii between September 2012 and April 2013, including a 14-day site visit to Hawaii from November 26 to December 10, 2012, the review of over 140 background documents, over 65 interviews, and ongoing collaboration with the Hawaii Jurisdictional Capacity Assessment Team (J-CAT)"--Page 14 (Introduction).

"Lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles complex) are venomous coral reef fishes from the Indian and western Pacific oceans that are now found in the western Atlantic Ocean. Adult lionfish have been observed from Miami, Florida to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and juvenile lionfish have been observed off North Carolina, New York, and Bermuda. The large number of adults observed and occurrence of juveniles indicate the lionfish are established and reproducing along the southeast United States coast"--Executive summary.
