Planetary Coral Reef Foundation


                
December 2008 Newsletter


 




                 



                                        
 Happy Holidays!


 


 


From all of us at PCRF, we wish you a joyous holiday season
and New Year! As 2008 draws to a close, we send our profound thanks for your support and are excited to share all the
progress you have made possible. (Photo to the right: crew of SV Infinity - July
2008.)
 



 


 


PCRF Embarks on Marine Conservation


Initiatives in Indonesia                                       
 



We are pleased to report that PCRF has been
invited to carry out marine conservation work in the
Anambas Islands of Indonesia.  Located in the South China Sea,
approximately 150 nautical miles from Singapore, these islands are remote and unknown except for their proximity to
valuable oil reserves which are being tapped by international companies.



 


Overfishing and dynamite fishing are posing enormous
threats to marine life in the
Anambas Islands.  The indigenous peoples inhabiting these
islands live simply - most live in houses on stilts over the water, and many have little or no electricity.
  They depend largely on the marine
environment for their food and livelihood.
  Preserving the reefs is a matter of survival for them.



 


At the invitation of the "King of Banda,"
Pak Des Alwi, we also returned to
Banda Island, Indonesia to
discuss a strategy for establishing the island as a World Heritage Site.
  Banda's rich history and spectacular underwater landscapes (dense
schools of black snapper, full sized groupers, turtles, mandarin fish and glorious corals and sea fans) make this an
especially unique opportunity.
 


 


In support of these initiatives, Raffles Marina and friends
in Singapore again hosted the crew of SV Infinity in August and pledged to support our efforts to expand
PCRF's work in Southeast Asia
.  We will be returning in the New Year to develop a marine conservation and community outreach program in
the
Anambas Islands that will
include reef restoration and protected areas, fisheries and wastewater management as well as the preservation of
endangered species such as sea turtles.
  



 


Coral Reef Monitoring Update


PCRF trained 12 new apprentices in coral reef research and monitored
reefs in two critical locations this year. Our first study site was in the
Solomon Islands.  We returned to a place we have studied
three times before because we wanted to assess the impact of the April 2007 earthquake and tsunami on the reefs
there.
  Sadly, we discovered
the reefs in the Solomon Islands suffered significant devastation which is directly affecting the lives of the island
peoples, many of whom make their livelihood from the reefs. (Photo to the left: exposed reef due
to the 2007 tsunami.)



 


PCRF is the only organization that has extensive
previous data from this specific location, and therefore scientists and conservationists have a keen interest in our
studies. We presented our results at the International Coral Reef Symposium in Florida in July. As with all our data, we
have also posted our
Solomon Islands studies online free of
charge to encourage collaboration and direct environmental action.


 


   



PCRF Graduates: Lindsey Feldman,
Katie Olds
and
Tanya Ribakoff delivering posters at the International Coral Reef Symposium in Florida


 




Our second study took place off the coast of
Tioman Island in
Malaysia
.  We returned there to
investigate the impact of increased tourism and development on the health of the reefs since our previous studies in 2001
and 2006. Unfortunately, our data confirmed that rapidly expanding tourism in the area has adversely affected these reefs
and they are at serious risk.
  Click here to see the results of the studies.



 


National Geographic Book Highlights PCRF's
Phoenix Islands Study


National Geographic tells the story of PCRF's
discovery of massive coral mortality in the Phoenix Islands due to global warming in their recently released book for
schoolchildren called Animals on the Edge.
  You can order the book at your local bookstore or online at National Geographic Books.

Studio of the Sea's mission
is to produce films about the state of our oceans, the beauty and decline of coral reefs and the life of island cultures
around the world. We urge you to take a moment to screen our latest film,
Whaling Wall,
featuring dwarf minke whales off the Great Barrier Reef in Australia who were extraordinarily friendly even though
whaling continues around the world. (Just this year, the International Whaling Commission agreed that 1,052 minke whales
could be taken by Norwegian whalers and 750 minke whales by the Japanese.)


 


One of the highlights of the last year was a visit
to Waterfall
Bay in Vanuatu where the women create an enchanting musical celebration with
water.
 You can watch their
performance online in
Gaua Water Music, one of two Studio of the Sea films recently selected for the
Expo Zaragoza 2008 Water Sustainability Event in Spain. During the coming year, we will be producing more films about
ocean wonders and challenges.
  In an effort to reach as many people as possible, we will also expand our distribution to wider audiences
on sites such as YouTube where we have recently posted six of our films.
 




Join the Voyage with PCRF in
Google Earth!


You can now journey with Google Earth to all of our
expedition and coral reef monitoring sites thanks to the efforts of Stanford University graduate and PCRF Research
Associate Kitty Currier.
  Please click here to visit this
Google Earth-Ocean demonstration project and embark on a virtual odyssey through the oceans of the world with PCRF!


 


Kitty's exceptional work was recently recognized
by Google Earth Outreach when they awarded PCRF a grant to use their software to develop a geo-referenced program
illustrating our data from 49 reef studies.
  Digital Globe
also awarded PCRF Quickbird Imagery in support of this program.
Included in this
demonstration project will be the 360 degree imagery of reefs we filmed using
Immersive Media's
special 11 lens camera as well as our
Studio
of the Sea
films.



 


PCRF Launches Capital Campaign for New Research
Vessel


Our two year charter of the SV Infinity was successfully completed in
September and we returned the boat to its owner in Thailand
. 
We are now actively searching for a new vessel to continue our work at sea and have embarked
on a capital campaign to secure a boat that PCRF will finally own! We welcome your participation in this campaign in any
way and at any level.
  If you
would like to join us in our efforts to locate and secure a new boat, please contact
Mark Van Thillo.

Here is an excellent way to support a great cause. Of all the people out there, we are among a group of people that understand reef ecosystems (and the danger presented to them) the most. Let's get on board and help out. Thanks friends.
