"Historically, coral reefs have always been important to the islands' visitors and residents. Coral reef resources provided food, medicines, and building materials for Native Hawaiians, as well as played an important role in social and cultural customs and traditions (Titcomb, 1972; Kirch, 1982). The traditional Native Hawaiian resource management system utilized in-depth knowledge of ocean resources to reduce waste and ensure long-term resource use. Over the last two centuries, however, economic, cultural, and political changes have altered and broken down traditional Native Hawaiian land and water use and management systems (Friedlander, 2004; Jokiel et al., 2011). Wide-scale degradation of nearshore resources likely began 100 to 200 years ago with the settlement of Western populations. Agriculture and livestock grazing became the primary land uses on Oʻahu, Maui, Molokaʻi, and Lanaʻi, which contributed to erosion and sedimentation on nearshore reefs (Gulko et al., 2002). Dredging and the filling in of nearshore reefs for residential, commercial, and military expansion led to continued reef degradation, especially in the last 100 years. Other changes include stream channelization and increased paving of land, which has reduced sediment erosion but increased runoff"--Conclusions.

Coral reefs are critical for biodiversity, food habitats and as tourist destinations, but they are in serious decline around the world. Humans are a major cause of this problem. Here we explore high school students' educational reef experiences with respect to specific learning outcomes. Students were surveyed and interviewed as they were trained in coral reef ecology and monitoring in both the classroom and at various sites in the Great Barrier Reef. The Three A's of Coastal and Marine Studies (Marine Education Society of Australasia) are awareness, attitudes and action. This presupposes a learning situation where a gain in knowledge (awareness) will lead to a change in attitude, and thereby improve positive personal actions toward marine environments. This research analyses the link between the knowledge-attitude-action variables in relation to the effect of direct reef experience. This work addressed the question of proximal relations between humans and coral reefs. It brought together literature and techniques from varying disciplines to generate statistical findings, while student accounts confirmed the learning value of structured activities underwater as part of reef trips.

Marine education research designs are discussed, and student learning outcomes while monitoring a coral reef is evaluated. Changes in environmental knowledge and attitudes, ecological intention to act, and direct reef experience were investigated. Differences between student pre-test and the post-test responses were observed, and analysis is considered consisting of empirically generated results and student accounts. Environmental knowledge, environmental attitudes and intention to act were evaluated using a multi-method quasi-experimental design, and their affect by reef experience is investigated. Initial environmental knowledge scores were low and were most changed by a classroom presentation and reef monitoring trip combination, the reef learning experience elicited the largest positive shift in environmental attitudes as well as ecological intention to act, and students who had never been to the reef showed the greatest amount of change. This article reports on methodologies developed for evaluating marine education and investigating outdoor marine learning with Australian high school students. Research limitations are also discussed, and information is provided for researchers interested in evaluating education programs.(Contains 2 figures and 3 tables.).

Australia's coral reefs stretch far and wide, covering 50 000 square kilometres from the Indian Ocean in the West to the Pacific Ocean in the East. They have been viewed as a bedrock of coastal livelihoods, as uncharted and perilous nautical hazards, as valuable natural resources, and as unique, natural wonders with secrets waiting to be unlocked. Australia's coral reefs have sustained a global interest as places to visit, and as objects of study, science, protection and conservation."Coral Reefs of Australia" examines our evolving relationship with coral reefs, and explores their mystery and the fast pace at which they are now changing. Corals are feeling the dramatic impacts of global climate change, having undergone several devastating mass coral bleaching events, dramatic species range shifts and gradual ocean acidification. This comprehensive and engaging book brings together the diverse views of Indigenous Australians, coral reef scientists, managers and politicians to reveal how we interact with coral reefs, focussing on Indigenous culture, coastal livelihoods, exploration, discovery, scientific research and climate change. It will inform and inspire readers to learn more about these intriguing natural phenomena and how we can protect coral reefs for the future.

Educational programs that focus on humans and their relationship to coral reefs are becoming necessary, as reef structures along the Queensland coast come under mounting ecological pressure. This paper reports on a PhD research project which investigated marine education and learning with high school students in coral reef environments along the Queensland coast of Australia. The study explored relationships between the learning outcome variables of environmental knowledge (awareness), attitudes and the ecological agency skills of students who were trained in coral reef ecology in a classroom setting along with a structured learning experience of reef monitoring in offshore sites along the Great Barrier Reef in 2002 and 2003. The research investigated the question of whether experiential marine education can change the reported environmental knowledge, attitudes and ecological agency of the student participants. Some key data outcomes are presented and implications for effective marine education strategies and pedagogies are discussed concerning outdoor education and the effects of taking the students on field trips to a coral reef.

This research is part of the Socioeconomic Research & Monitoring Program for the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. In 2010, a baseline study of users and non-users of Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary (GRNMS) was initiated. Mail surveys were designed in 2010 and implemented in 2011 and 2012. The study provides baseline data on the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of users and non-users of GRNMS in regard to management strategies and regulations. It also provides information on socioeconomic/demographic profiles, activity participation and use of coastal and ocean waters off the Georgia coast both inside and outside GRNMS. The surveys collected data on sources of public information on GRNMS used and the amount of trust in sources used, familiarity with GRNMS rules and regulations, and attitudes about selected management strategies for coastal and ocean resources both inside and outside GRNMS. For users of GRNMS, perceptions of resource conditions were also addressed.
