| Great Barrier Reef Marine Park | Governance | GBR coral cover | Yes | Extensive coral bleaching occurred during the 97-98 El Nino. There is concern about cyclone damage to the reefs. Both El Nino events and cyclones (and associated rainfall events that cause sedimentation) are likely influenced by climate change. |

| Macquarie Island Marine Park | Governance | Patagonian Toothfish | No | There is no evidence that toothfish stocks at Macquarie Island have been influenced by climate change, but Trathan and Agnew (2010) suggest that toothfish recruitment is sensitive to changes in sea surface temperature and could therefore be affected by future changes. |

| Macquarie Island Marine Park | Governance | Light Mantled Albatross | Missing | Although there is some evidence that population at Crozet Island respond to changes in sea surface temperature (Barbraud et al. 2012); no evidence has linked climate change to the population on Macquarie Island, and the population has remained stable. Climate change does, however, remain a potential threat. |

| Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) Marine National Monument | Governance | NWHI Green Turtle | No | Sea level rise threatens to erode coastal habitat, including nesting habitat. The majority of nesting occurs on French Frigate Shoals, a low-lying atoll vulnerable to increases in sea level (Baker et al. 2006). However, there is evidence of long term accretion of islands, so that this effect may be somewhat mitigated (Webb and Kench 2010). |

| Central California National Marine Sanctuaries | Governance | California Humpback Whale | Yes | Humpback whales have been observed in more northern waters than traditionally been observed before (e.g. humpback whales have been documented in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas off the arctic coast of Alaska) (Hashagen et al. 2009, NRDC 2008).
Climate change could expose humpback whales to new or more diseases, mostly in their feeding grounds, as those habitats have been observed to increase in diseases (IWC 2007). Habitat and food availability are concerns. |
|---|
| Central California National Marine Sanctuaries | Governance | California Rocky Shores Ecosystem Health | Yes | Diseases associated with higher temperatures have been depleting populations in this area (Hewson et al. 2014). Oxygen minimum zones are thought to play a role as well. Species expansions have been observed, as southern California species that were rare or never found in Northern California in 1930 were then quite abundant in the Sanctuaries in 1990 (Osborn et al. 2005). |

| Central California National Marine Sanctuaries | Governance | California Groundfish Habitat | Yes | Some species have been noted to decline sharply during periods of low oxygen zones (Keller et al. 2015).

|---|
| Svalbard Nature Reserves | Governance | Svalbard Polar Bear | Yes | Although the answer is very likely “yes”, it is difficult to directly attribute climate change to the status of the population, especially since there is little literature which directly assesses the polar bear population numbers. In addition, it remains difficult to determine the long-term trend over a short time period (2004-2012), in an environment with considerable interannual variability; Derocher et al (2005) found that polar body mass (an index of health) correlates with the Arctic Oscillation Index.
Studies have shown that later arrival of sea-ice in the fall was correlated with lower body mass of adult females, and of their cubs upon emergence in the spring (Stirling et al 1999, Derocher et al 2011). A report by the Polar Institute (2014) notes that Hopen Island used to be a favoured denning site, and suggests that females no longer den in this location because autumn sea-ice no longer extends so far south. Climate change is likely to be highly important in the future as the seasonal sea-ice extent changes (Hunter et al 2010).

| Great Australian Bight Marine Park (GABMP) (Commonwealth Waters) | Governance | GABMP (Commonwealth Waters) Southern Right Whale | No | There is evidence that climate variability affects reproductive output in southern right whales in Australia with El Nino events shown to lead to decreased calf production in a later year (Australia 2012). It is predicted that as Antarctic feeding grounds warm up, the average calving rate of southern right whales will decline (Leaper et al. 2006) – these are predictions and these trends have not been observed yet. |

|---|
| Great Barrier Reef Marine Park | Governance | GBR Green Turtle | Yes | Although it is difficult to attribute climate change directly to changes in population size, there are a few mechanisms through which impacts are likely (GBRMPA 2014).
Sea level rise from climate change may inundate nesting beaches, which may have considerable impact because females generally show strong site fidelity to nest at the beaches where they were born (Limpus et al 2003).
Warming temperatures can change the sex-ratios of the eggs; warmer temperatures are likely to produce more females (Limpus 2008).
Warming temperatures may also affect ocean circulation patterns, and could result in the movement of larvae away from beaches (GBRMPA 2014).

| Heard and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve | Governance | Light Mantled Albatross | Missing | Climate change has caused phenological changes in many other seabirds, especially penguins and including some albatross, but there is no information specifically on light-mantled albatross.

| Heard and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve | Governance | King Penguin | Yes | See above. While data is not available for King Penguins at HIMI, King Penguins (in general) forage at the Polar Front, making them vulnerable to climate change. King Penguin populations at Crozet Island have been recorded traveling further north in response, with a variety of energetic and reproductive consequences. While explicit data for the effects of climate change on King Penguins at HIMI is not available, it is reasonable to assume that climate change is having an impact on their foraging and/or reproductive cycle. |
