Ecological Changes in the Coral Reef Communities of Indonesia's Bali Barat National Park, 2011–2016 Nono Suparno Kitty Currier Carol Milner Abigail Alling Phillip Dustan 10.5479/si.0077-5630.620 https://smithsonian.figshare.com/articles/book/Ecological_Changes_in_the_Coral_Reef_Communities_of_Indonesia_s_Bali_Barat_National_Park_2011_2016/9761750 The coral reefs of Bali Barat National Park, one of Indonesia’s oldest marine protected areas, are known for their high biodiversity and excellent sport diving; however, stressors such as destructive fishing practices, elevated water temperatures, damage from anchors and careless visitors have been observed on these reefs for decades. The purpose of this study was to document and quantify changes in the fish and stony coral community structure of reefs within and outside the boundaries of Bali Barat National Park from 2011 to 2016, including its most popular dive site, Menjangan Island. The results provide further knowledge about the reefs of NW Bali and the efficacy of current management practices, and they will inform management decisions for locally managed reef stewardship programs. 2019-09-12 15:28:35 Coral Reef Ecology Indonesia Bali Barat National Park Marine Biology
