American Samoa invasive species and action plan.
BRB
Available Online
2017
American Samoa invasive species strategy and action plan for the only US territory in the South Pacific being such is faced with unique threats with its location from a national perspective and has a need for both nation al and regional collaborations. The ecological integrity of American Samoa is of utmost importance in the face of invasive species. The cultural identity of American Samoans is also closely tied to the ecological integrity of its natural environment. And given its a highly limited economy, any impact by invasive species on its natural ecosystems that provide goods and services will be almost immediate. The establishment of an invasive species plan, with its clearly articulated priority actions, goals and objectives will provide a guidance to deal with the threats of invasive species. The implementation of the plan will: (1) increase awareness of their threats; (2) inspire cooperation to prevent and minimize their impacts and implement appropriate approaches; and (3) improve decision making through the process of data and information sharing from the best available science. Priorities are: Implement urgent and necessary actions; Enhance capacities for informed decisions; Advance preventive and rapid-response protocols and measures.

The prevalence of bleaching was recorded in staghorn thickets of two back reef pools on a biweekly basis during the October to June bleaching season, and monthly basis for the rest of the year at Tutuila, American Samoa. Recording began in late 2003 and has continued since, and used a rapid visual estimation procedure. Three species of staghorns (Acropora spp.) in both pools bleached every Austral summer for five years. Reports of reef slope bleaching events in 2002 and 2003 imply that they bleached in those years as well. Thus, these corals have bleached for at least five summers and likely seven summers or more in a row. Other, less common species of Acropora and Millepora were observed to bleach as well. The bleaching displayed patterns consistent with the view that both temperature and irradiance are involved in producing the bleaching. The term “photothermal bleaching” was applied to this type of bleaching. This appears to be the first annual multi-species summer bleaching event reported.

As American Samoa enters the new millennium, we can get a sense of how healthy our environment is by taking a look at some of the parts that make up our island ecosystem. As you will see, the islands are finally recovering from hurricanes in 1990 and 1991, but other longer-term problems persist.
