	Line Islands - Teraina
		Teraina (formerly Washington Island) is a low-lying coral island with an area of 14.2 km² located in the northern Line Islands 150 km northwest from the atoll of Tabuaeran.
		The island is surrounded by a fringing reef that is generally narrow, but extends for up to 500 m off the eastern shore — features which make access to the island difficult.
		Teraina is an important seabird breeding site, with about 10 breeding species, the most abundant being the Red-footed Booby (Sula sula) and the White Tern (Gygis alba).

		With a diverse team of reef ecologists, we will describe the diversity and structure of the reef communities, sampling all major taxonomic groups, including the microbes, algae, corals, other invertebrates, and fish.
		This survey will offer a unique view into the groups of organisms that are lost, the species interactions that are altered, and the trophic dynamics that are changed as humans disturb a reef.
		This study will be the first to control for biogeographic differences among sites, to include broad taxonomic sampling, and to include pristine/nearly pristine reef sites into analyses of human impacts on coral reefs.
