36315 Puako Ecosystem Model Data Data Set Published / External 25956 Ecosystem Modeling Project Completed 2018 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. The data are available from the Dryad Digital Repository: https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.4sh45 The main objective of this study was to explore the performance of land-based and fishery management scenarios in terms of their ability to reverse local declines in condition, to improve the provision of ecosystem services that benefit human users, and to enhance the long-term future of the local reef.

VulnerabilityMatrix NUMBER No No Active Just as in the DietMatrix data table, the rows represent the preys and functional group number and the columns represent the predators by functional group number. The values represent the vulnerability of that prey functional group to the predator.

Model input and outputs (Excel files) were generated using Ecopath with Ecosim version 6.4.3. Model output data provide a range of potential answers based on the available data and should not be used for tactical management 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.
