1). For a wide variety of coral reef impact incidents, the people most likely to respond have no formal training or tools for conducting legally-defensible investigations
2). There are no recognized standards for conducting such investigations

How Do You Investigate Impacts on Coral Reefs?
• Scientific Experimentation
• Monitoring
![Page 11: CSI on Coral Reefs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813432550346895d9b224a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Homicide:The ‘CSI’ Approach
• Science driven by legal needs
• Strong burden on documentation
• Strong burden on “Chain-of-Custody”
![Page 12: CSI on Coral Reefs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813432550346895d9b224a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Homicide:The ‘CSI’ Approach
• Existing International Acceptance
But how do you translate terrestrial techniques to an underwater world?

• Most Items Can Be Made
• High & Low Tech
• Porttable, Self-Contained
![Page 16: CSI on Coral Reefs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813432550346895d9b224a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Regional Workshop Approach:
• Experienced CR CSI Instructors
• Asst CR CSI Instructors from Region
• Regional Participants: Multi-country, Multi-agency, Multi-discipline
![Page 17: CSI on Coral Reefs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813432550346895d9b224a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Committee Goals
• To design a set of draft protocols and techniques for investigating short-term events on coral reefs.
• To conduct a pilot field training workshop at the upcoming ITMEMS, October 2006.
• To use results to produce an international toolkit and field CSI kits.
• To conduct regional field training workshops in 2007 & 2008.

Potential Regional Training Workshops (2007 - 2009): What are each region’s needs & concerns?
• Red Sea• East Africa• South Asia• Southeast Asia• Indonesia/Philippines• Australia
• South Pacific Islands• Central Pacific Islands• Central/South America• South Caribbean Islands• Eastern Caribbean Islands• Florida (ICRS 2008)

Basic Assumptions of CR Investigations
• Going to Court• Limitations: Time, Scale, Resources• Ecological Complexity• Remoteness of Operation• Two Types of Investigations:
– Cause Known, Impact Unknown (ex. Vessel Grounding)
– Cause Unknown, Impact Known (ex. Fish Kill)
