Great Barrier Reef Marine Park | Governance | GBR target fish | 0 | |
---|
Great Barrier Reef Marine Park | Governance | GBR target fish | No desirable | Target fish are doing fairly well. The whole coral reef system, however, has the potential to switch states from reef-dominated (desirable) to algal dominated (undesirable). This has happened in some small parts of the reef. |
---|
Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR) | Governance | Galapagos Sea Cucumber | Yes undesirable | The population has declined by >80% and is now economically extinct.
In terms of the overall system this does not appear to have had a major impact as there is another sea cucumber in the Galapagos that is not fished/targetted to continue the ecological role (e.g. nutrient cycling). |
---|
Macquarie Island Marine Park | Governance | Patagonian Toothfish | No desirable | Although stocks have declined, they remain within a desirable range above 50% of unfished levels. |

Macquarie Island Marine Park | Governance | Light Mantled Albatross | Missing | There is no evidence of a basin switch for this species |
---|
Macquarie Island Marine Park | Governance | Macquarie Island Royal Penguin | No desirable | The population has remained stable based on all estimates, and near its estimated peaks. |
---|
Wakatobi National Park | Governance | Wakatobi coral cover | No desirable | No evidence of switching stable states although there were major declines in coral cover detected before this snapshot - still coded as desirable because coral reefs considered to be in relatively good health (McMellor and Smith 2010).
Declines in hard coral cover and increase in coral rubble reported 2002-2007 (McMellor and Smith 2010) |
---|
Wakatobi National Park | Governance | Wakatobi fish spawning | No desirable | Populations of spawning fish at a low level, and prior to this snapshot there were large declines in fish biomass but there is no evidence of switching states (i.e. it is not a algal dominated system) - so although fish populations appear to be in a degraded state they have not corssed a threshold. |

Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) Marine National Monument | Governance | NWHI Lobster Fishery | No undesirable | No basin switch in this time period - sharp declines occured prior to this time period (87% decline in CPUE between 1983 and 1999 - IUCN RedList). Coded as undesirable as the population remains low. |
---|
Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR) | Governance | Galapagos Green Turtle | No desirable | Lareg population of green turtles in Galapagos and thought to be stable |

---|
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) Marine National Monument | Governance | NWHI Trophic Density | No desirable | High trophic levels and considered a near pristine ecosystem. >54% of the total fish biomass on forereef habitats in the NWHI consisted of apex predators (DeMartini and Friedlander, 2004). |
---|

---|
Central California National Marine Sanctuaries | Governance | California Humpback Whale | Yes desirable | The humpback whale population has increased, to the point of potentially being unlisted from the ESA, and to being Least Concern for IUCN redlist. In the 1970s, humpback populations were listed under the ESA, in 1986 was Endangered by the IUCN and in 1990 was Vulnerable by the IUCN. This change is desirable, but debatable if this is stable or not. |
---|
Central California National Marine Sanctuaries | Governance | California Rocky Shores Ecosystem Health | No desirable | In 2010, the coastal environment was rated to be good/fair and not changing (GFNMS Condition Report, 2010). The habitat has experienced fluctuating conditions, however, most notably a decline in health from the Sea Star Wasting Syndrome and withering syndrome for abalone. The 2009 MBNMS Condition Report showed that rocky shore habitats were fair and there was an undetermined trend in conditions. Poaching had reduced overall biodiversity at some rocky shores locations. Community-level impacts on rocky shores were felt from low abundance of key species (MBNMS Condition Report, 2009). However, broadly speaking, the habitat is in good condition during the end of this snapshot and "monitoring programs indicate healthy
populations and no major perturbations" (MBNMS Condition Report, 2009). |

---|
Raja Ampat (National Act No. 32 2004) | Governance | Raja Ampat Reef Fish | No desirable | Fish communities are generally considered to be fairly healthy, but there is evidence of overfishing with an absence of higher trophic species (Purwanto et al. 2012) |
---|
Central California National Marine Sanctuaries | Governance | California Groundfish Habitat | No desirable | Some species have been slowly recovering, but no clear system state switch. Some species are still not recovering, however, a number of species have been documented to be increasing and those which have not are thought to be long-lived species which require greater time to recover. |

Great Australian Bight Marine Park (GABMP) (Commonwealth Waters) | Governance | GABMP (Commonwealth Waters) Southern Right Whale | No desirable | The population of Southern Right Whales has increased since the severe depletion by commercial whaling. The population is increasing and has been coded as desirable (although populations are comparatively low to historic levels), but there is no evidence of switching stable states during this time period as major declines and the population increase have also occurred outside of the snapshot being coded. |
---|
Svalbard Nature Reserves | Governance | Svalbard Shrimp | No desirable | Biomass estimates fluctuate substantially, but literature does not suggest changing of stable states, and the shrimp stock in the Barents Sea has been at a relatively high level since 2005 |
---|
Great Australian Bight Marine Park (GABMP) (Commonwealth Waters) | Governance | GABMP (Commonwealth Waters) Southern Bluefin Tuna | No undesirable | SBT population has dramatically declined to 7–15% of the 1960 parental biomass (FSC 2009). Worldwide reported landings peaked in 1969, and have since gradually declined. Catches from 1992 to 2006 have been relatively stable (FAO 2009). Populations are considered overfished (critically endangered on IUCN RedList), but not considered to have changed stable states as the more dramatic declines occurred before this snapshot. |
---|
Seaflower MPA | Governance | Seaflower coral reefs | No undesirable | There is definitely indication that there is a shift toward algae-dominated reefs but I am not sure if the system transitioned into a new stable state. In any case the current state is undesirable. |
---|
Great Barrier Reef Marine Park | Governance | GBR Green Turtle | No desirable | Commercial harvesting of green turtles in southern Queensland ended in 1950. the population has undergone significant declines and is not thought to be back at pre-harvest levels, but has shown a general trend of improving so is not considered to have changed stable states. |
---|
Heard and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve | Governance | Light Mantled Albatross | Missing | There is no evidence of a basin switch for this species |
---|
Heard and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve | Governance | King Penguin | No desirable | King Penguins were potentially extirpated at HIMI in the 1800s, but then recolonized (three were discovered in 1947) and recovered. From the first count in 1947 (3) to the last count in 2004 (~80,000), they were estimated to show a trend of doubling population size every five years with no sign of slowing down (Woehler 2006). Since there have been no counts since 2004, it is not clear if they are in a stable state yet. Qualitative counts (Heritage Expeditions 2012) and expert opinion (E. Woehler pers. comm.) suggests they are likely still increasing. Original population sizes are unknown. |
---|
Heard and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve | Governance | Patagonian Toothfish | No desirable | No evidence of a basin switch or of a change in the stock. There is interannual variation in the catch from year to year, but this may have less to do with a population trend and more a result of fishing techniques shifting from being predominantly trawling to being predominantly longlining over the time of the snapshot (see CCAMLR 2013). |
---|
Great Australian Bight Marine Park (GABMP) (Commonwealth Waters) | Governance | GABMP (Commonwealth Waters) Sea Lion | No undesirable | The high proportion of small, genetically isolated subpopulations for this species is likely a consequence of sequential declines brought about by historical sealing, more recent takes, and sustained fisheries bycatch over the last 40+ years. The population is low so coded as undesirable, but not as having switch basins during this time period as the largest population declines took place outside of this snap shot. |
