Abstract
Coral reef ecosystems are being degraded through multiple disturbances that are becoming more frequent and severe. This study examined storm impact on coral reef and its recovery using landscape mosaics technique. This technique demonstrated an off-the-shelf underwater camera and the Adobe Photoshop software, end-users in developing countries with limited resources could use the video mosaics technique for reef monitoring and documenting storm impacts. The landscape mosaic technique was used to document the tropical storm impact on coral communities at Racha Island within 3-5 m of water depth. This video-mosaic method provided a spatially landscape view of the reef benthos. The images from the landscape mosaic method revealed that after the storm on November 2012, 20% of the coral cover disappeared within the first month and continued to die off within the six month after the storm. Two years after storm, the results from the images still revealed some slightly increases in the percentage of coral cover but not significant. Most of the coral destroyed by the storm were foliaceous coral - i.e. Montipora sp. This study clearly demonstrates that the physical disturbance on coral reef, community changes and its recovery can be monitored using the two-dimensional landscape mosaic technology.
