    The mission o The Nature Conservancy is to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities thatrepresent the diversity o lie on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. The Conservancy

    launched the Global Marine Initiative in 2002 to protect and restore the most resilient examples o oceanand coastal ecosystems in ways that beneft marine lie, local communities and economies. The Conservancyoperates over 100 marine conservation projects in more than 21 countries and 22 US states; they work withpartners across seascapes and landscapes through transormative strategies and integrated planning andaction. The ocus is on: (1) Setting priorities or marine conservation using ecoregional assessments andtools or ecosystem based management; (2) Ensuring coral ree survival by creating resilient networks o

    marine protected areas; (3) Restoring and conserving coastal habitats by utilizing innovative new methods;(4) Building support or marine conservation through strategic partnerships and working to shape globaland national policies. Marine conservation in The Nature Conservancy builds upon the organizations corestrengths: achieving demonstrable results; working with a wide range o partners, including non-traditional

    partners; science-based, robust conservation planning methodologies; our experience with transactions; and,perhaps most importantly, our ability and commitment to back up our strategies with human, fnancial andpolitical capital.

    Natural disturbances to coral rees include:

    disease,

    temperature extremes,

    pest outbreaks including Crown-o-Thorns Starfsh,

    cyclones,

    seismic events including earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes

    Anthropogenic disturbances to coral rees include:

    Pollution , including mine runo and sewage discharge, poi-sons ree communities, pollutes ree waters and promotes algalgrowth (Bjork et al1994; Brown 1997; Richmond 1994);

    Overfshing results in shits in fsh size, abundance and speciescomposition o ree communities. The removal o key herbivore

    and predator species may cause cascading eects in the trophicweb, bringing large scale changes to ecosystems and the servic-es they provide (Bohnsack 1993; Dulvy et al2004; Jennings &

    Polunin 1996; Pennisi; Pinnegar et al2002; Roberts 1995).

    Destructive fshing practices, including bomb and cyanide fsh-ing, muroami and trawling, are non-selective, remove largenumbers o undersized target species and non-target species

    and cause habitat damage. Cyanide fshing to support the liveood fsh trade has led to widespread reductions in groupers, Na-poleon wrasse and other species (Johannes & Riepen 1995).

    Climate change will increase background disturbances (throughe.g. elevated sea surace temperatures, ocean acidifcation andincreased storm requency and intensity) reducing resilience toother human disturbances (Bryant et al1998).

    Coastal development , including reclamation and construction,alters coastal dynamics, removes important nursery grounds, andincreases terrestrial run-o and pollution (Wilkinson 2004).

    Unregulated tourism can impact on coral rees through tram-pling by swimmers and divers, anchor damage, and sewage dis-charge rom hotels (Global Environment Facility 1996).

    Continuation o existing surveillance, enorcement

    and education programs would assist park managers

    to maintain trends or reduced destructive fshing

    in KNP.

    Regions o low ree health correlate with regions

    o high resource use, and application o the

    precautionary principle is advisable. Review o

    management objectives, gaps and needs (especially

    related to zonation systems and supporting

    legislation) would assist park managers to minimiseresource use impacts and enhance tourism and

    fshery potential. O particular importance are

    seven hot spots o high fshery and tourism

    activity (Harvey & Yusamandra 2010).

    Development o waste management objectives

    within existing communication and outreach

    programs, coupled with targeted environmental

    monitoring within Loh Lawi, would assist park

    managers to address detected nutrient enrichment

    and eutrophication (possibly rom sewage, organic

    rubbish or animal waste rom Komodo village) and

    mitigate phase-shit impacts on ree ecosystems,

    fsheries and other resource uses.

    Diverse and abundant stocks o herbivorous fsh

    provide resilience to algal phase shits, and are

    low within Loh Lawi and the Komodo East region.

    A trial program o strictly enorced small-scale

    no-take areas near to Loh Lawi would enable park

    managers to evaluate the role o herbivorous fsh

    management or enhancing ree resilience to climate

    change and algal phase shits, with potential or

    additional community engagement benefts.

    Close integration between KNP and West Manggaraicoastal management strategies would assist park

    managers to manage species and habitats not

    constrained by administrative boundaries, sustain

    West Manggarais fshery and tourism economies,

    and maximise local, national and global beneftsderived orm KNP.

    M o n i t o r i n g6 . 2

    Future RHM should aim to ensure a balanced survey

    design. Limitations o time and access in 2009

    enabled only partial sampling in Komodo West and

    Komodo East, resulting in an unbalanced design

    and complicating statistical analysis.

    All sites surveyed during 2009 should be considered

    as permanent monitoring stations, and revisited

    during subsequent RHM to identiy long-term

    trends. Additional sites may be selected rom Mous

    Mous et al2007 as required.

    Additional sites should be pre-selected or

    environmental variables (region, zone, depth,

    exposure) to ensure a balanced survey design.

    Broadscale mapping o KNPs rees using in-situ

    (e.g. manta tow) or remote sensing approaches

    (e.g. Quickbird, CASI-LIDAR) would assist site

    selection.

    Benthic surveys incorporating video transects

    or photo quadrats would provide a documented

    record o ree status, acilitating uture checking

    or reanalysis o results using existing or emerging

    techniques. Video or photo transects could be

    completed rapidly by trained non-specialists, and

    analysed later by scientists.

    Stakeholder engagement with RHM could be

    enhanced, increasing data while reducing costs.Dive site status provides an opportunity or

    assessment by communities or dive operators (e.g.

    by Ree Check methodology).

    Use o fve replicate fsh transects and long-swims

    would enhance fsh monitoring (Wilson & Green

    2010). Complementary monitoring programs

    (e.g. market surveys, fsh landings) could provide

    additional management inormation. Historical

    fshery records (government records, tradition

    knowledge, diver logbooks) could improve

    consideration o shiting baselines.

    In addition to biennial RHM, additional monitoring

    within biogeograhic regions (S1 S12) indentifed

    as important by other monitoring programs (e.g.

    RUM) would assist park managers to evaluate

    correlations between resource use and ree status.
