Abundance of holothurians (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) in the Rowley Shoals, Australia, in 2018 and 2023

This dataset represents the first island-scale compilation of sea cucumber (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) abundance data across all three protected atolls of the Rowley Shoals in the northwest coast of Australia. We specifically quantified holothurian abundance by doing standardized benthic surveys (SCUBA visual census along 50-meter transects) across 34 sites in both 2018 and 2023 as follows: Clerke Reef (n=18 sites), Imperieuse Reef (n=10 sites), and Mermaid Reef (n=6 sites). Given that many species here documented are listed as threatened or vulnerable by the IUCN, this dataset will help inform research and management efforts to protect these unique species and reef ecosystems.

Scott Reef and Rowley Shoals Coral Bleaching Data

Coral reefs have evolved over millennia to survive disturbances. Yet, in just a few decades chronic local pressures and the climate catastrophe have accelerated so quickly that most coral reefs are now threatened. Rising ocean temperatures and recurrent bleaching pose the biggest threat, affecting even remote and well-managed reefs on global scales. We illustrate how coral bleaching is altering reefs by contrasting the dynamics of adjacent reef systems over more than two decades. Both reef systems sit near the edge of the northwest Australia’s continental shelf, have escaped chronic local pressures and are regularly affected by tropical storms and cyclones. The Scott reef system has experienced multiple bleaching events, including mass bleaching in 1998 and 2016, from which it is unlikely to fully recover. The Rowley Shoals has maintained a high cover and diversity of corals and has not yet been impacted by mass bleaching. We show how the dynamics of both reef systems were driven by a combination of local environment, exposure to disturbances and coral life history traits, and consider future shifts in community structure with ongoing climate change. We then demonstrate how applying knowledge of community dynamics at local scales can aid management strategies to slow the degradation of coral reefs until carbon emissions and other human impacts are properly managed.
