1. General Description of Data to be Managed

1.1. Name of the Data, data collection Project, or data-producing Program:
Evaluating management strategies to optimize coral reef ecosystem services: Ecosystem Model Data for Puako, Hawaii
1.2. Summary description of the data:

Coral reefs provide a wide range of ecosystem services that are valued differently by different users. Managers are challenged to comprehensively address the full suite of pressures that act simultaneously on these ecosystem state variables and dynamics. We developed a decision-support tool using an ecosystem model, Ecopath with Ecosim, that ranks the efficiency of potential management strategies in evaluating ecological and socio-economic trade-offs based on multiple indicators for coral reef ecosystem services in Puako, Hawaii Island. Our results indicate that current management is inadequate to prevent further declines in coral reef resources and that improved fishery management can mitigate the detrimental effects of expected bleaching-related coral mortalities on the ecosystem services in the next 15 years. The scenario that minimized conflicts between stakeholders was "Only Line Fishing" and to a lesser extent a reduction in fishing effort.

Results include the biomass (tons per square kilometer) for several groups of marine organisms (invertivores, coralivores, planktivores, browsers, grazers, sharks, reef fishes, sea turtles, invertebrates, corals, algae, and plankton) for 2017 and 2032 under the current and alternative management scenarios and the relative performance of the indicators under six management scenarios in 2032 and compared to current management.

5. Data Lineage and Quality

NOAA has issued Information Quality Guidelines for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information which it disseminates.

5.1. Processing workflow of the data from collection or acquisition to making it publicly accessible
(describe or provide URL of description):

Lineage Statement:
Input data was collected for the Ecopath with Ecosim model (EwE) from Hayes et al (1982). Vital rates and diet came from Weijerman et al (2013). Model validation data was supplied by the Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources (POC Dr. WJ Walsh) and the Nature Conservancy (POC D. Minton). The model output data are generated with the EwE model. All steps are available in Weijerman et al (in prep) J Applied Ecology.

5.1.1. If data at different stages of the workflow, or products derived from these data, are subject to a separate data management plan, provide reference to other plan:
Always left blank
5.2. Quality control procedures employed
(describe or provide URL of description):

Model dynamics were validated with a hindcast simulation (1980-2016). Reconstructed linear catch time series per gear type from 1980 and 2007 were loaded into Ecosim for validation and to fine-tune the model by adjusting fishing effort and so minimize the residuals between predicted and observed fish biomass and fish landings temporal data points (from DAR and TNC) using a least-square fitting criterion.
