This book presents recent results of collaborative studies in
geophysics and ecology, focusing on the relationship between the
physical environment and the distribution of the marine coastal
ecosystems. The study area, the Sakiyamawan-Amitoriwan nature
conservation area in Iriomote Island of Japan, is the only oceanic
nature conservation area in the country. The area has no access
roads, and the bay perimeter is uninhabited; therefore, it
preserves the natural environment with very little human impact. In
addition, it has various environmental gradients such as topography
and inflows from rivers with mangrove forests which affect the
distribution of marine coastal ecosystems such as those containing
reef-building corals, sea grasses, and hermit crabs. For these
reasons, the area is one of the best places for the study of the
relationship between the physical environment and the distribution
of the marine coastal ecosystems, a relationship that is important
for their conservation but has not been investigated fully. This
book is aimed at students and researchers in the fields of
oceanography and marine coastal ecology as well as general readers
who are interested in coral reefs, diving, and nature conservation.
