"Worldwide, coral reefs are affected by both acute and chronic disturbances. Acute disturbances have a short-term but intense impact that often spreads over large spatial scales. Ecological monitoring is then very useful to follow changes after acute disturbances and understand how coral reefs recover. Yet, in Palau, before 2001, no coral reef monitoring data at the scale of the island were available to quantify disturbance impacts, coral mortality, and recovery time. PICRC’s long term monitoring program was set up in 2001 to document these changes through time and to inform stakeholders about coral reef status and trends. The aim of this report is to document coral reef trends through time in different habitats and depths, and to highlight spatial and temporal differences in recovery time following the 1998- related bleaching event and more recently typhoon disturbances. Our findings showed that coral reefs took a minimum of 10 to 12 years to fully recover from the 1998-El Nino related mass bleaching event. In the absence of further large-scale disturbance, coral communities within the inner reefs and western outer reefs appeared to have reached a coral-dominated stable phase. PICRC’s long term monitoring data on fish and macro-invertebrates provided useful insights into differences among habitats and general trends through time. However, we highlighted some gaps in data collection and survey design which are now considered; an adapted monitoring protocol has been implemented at PICRC to better inform management in the future regarding commercially-targeted fish stocks."--Page 2.

"With the increasing numbers of visitors arriving in Palau, most of whom come to dive and snorkel on the reefs, there are concerns about the impact of the increased number of visitors on the shallow coral reef communities. Because of the importance of our coral reefs to both the people of Palau and the visitors that come to enjoy them, it is important to determine if the increased usage of these resources is negatively affecting them. In this study, we examined the effects of the high number of snorkelers on five popular snorkeling sites. The crowded snorkeling sites were compared to reference sites, which were similar in exposure to wind and currents, and benthic communities, but had little or no tourist activity. At each site, benthic and fish surveys were conducted, as well as observations of snorkelers’ behavior. Our findings demonstrate that the snorkeling sites had significantly higher rubble cover and coral fragments. In contrast to corals, fish sizes were significantly larger at the snorkeling sites compared to the reference sites."--Page 2.

"Although the beauty and diversity of reef species may appear as marvelous decoration, this biodiversity is important for the survival of the reef community. The various ecological, or functional, roles performed by different species provide a degree of social security enabling the reef community as a whole to sustain itself through time."--From book jacket.

Palau is one of the world's underwater wonders and Yap is both the most culturally intact isle in the region and a worthy diving and snorkeling mecca in its own right. This guide is new for 2016, with new images, more information on the outer atolls and updated dive site information. These two western Micronesian islands together offer the best diving in the Western Pacific. Both have stunning natural beauty, fabulous coral gardens and guaranteed encounters with big ocean marine life like sharks and manta rays. This guide introduces you to the most popular and sites of Palau and Yap, as well as some unique and more remote sites that are rarely visited. Although the islands are famous for their wide array of beautiful hard corals, abundance of marine life and big fish dives, there is also some great shipwreck diving in Palau. This new book has over 130 full color images and island maps. Dive-site locations are shown on maps and each site is introduced with general location, most frequently dived depths, the type of dive that can be expected, the dominant marine life to be found and logistical requirements. And it is not only about diving. There is lots to do on land in both islands and Yap, especially, is a fascinating cultural oasis, where life still goes on much as it has for centuries. And the people are incredibly welcoming! In short, this is everything you need to get the most out of your trip to Palau and Yap and also makes for a terrific souvenir of your visit.
