Book excerpt: Describes the background and design of this project of NOAA's National Marine Sanctuaries Program which aims to restore fourteen separate reef sites within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary that were damaged bu the 1984 grounding of the M/V Wellwood on Molasses Reef. The purpose of the restoration is to restore the M/V Wellwood grounding and stabilize the additional injury caused by the 1998 storm season. Restoring and stabilizing the injured reef will prevent further injury to the reef system, provide structural restoration to mimic the original relief, and re-establish biological communities. The ultimate goal of this project is to restore the reef to a state similar to that which existed before the injury occurred.

Book excerpt: Presents results of first two monitoring events to track recovery of repaired coral reef injured by M/V Wellwood vessel grounding incident of August 4, 1984, within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. First monitoring event (Year Two) was between September 29 and December 5, 2004. The second monitoring event (Year Four) was between July 18 and October 12, 2006. The monitoring program at the Wellwood site involves an assessment of the structural ability of installed restoration modules and coral recruitment patterns.

Download or read book Active Coral Restoration Techniques for a Changing Planet written by David E. Vaughan and published by J. Ross Tech. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coral reefs around the world are in peril and approximately half of the world's coral cover has been lost since 1970 due to impacts from climate change, pollution, disease, and fishing practices that can destroy entire reefs. This rate of decline has been quite rapid, particularly when compared to the average rate of growth for a healthy coral in the wild. This ratio of decline to growth had diminished hope among scientists that coral reefs could eventually restore themselves over time. However, with the new technologies of active coral restoration, optimism has returned. Active Coral Restoration: Techniques for a Changing Planet is a timely, comprehensive volume that provides a foundational understanding of the current and emerging practices and technologies used for active coral reef restoration projects around the world. Edited by David E. Vaughan, this work contains contributed chapters written by some of the foremost authorities on coral reef restoration.

This book was released on 2008-03-30 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents the results of the first three monitoring events to track the recovery of a repaired coral reef injured by the M/V Elpis vessel grounding incident of November 11, 1989. This grounding occurred within the boundaries of what at the time was designated the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary (NMS), now designated the Key Largo NMS Existing Management Area within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). The restoration monitoring program tracks patterns of biological recovery, determines the success of restoration measures, and assesses the resiliency to environmental and anthropogenic disturbances of the site over time. To evaluate restoration success, reference habitats adjacent to the restoration site are concurrently monitored to compare the condition of restored reef areas with “natural” coral reef areas unimpacted by the vessel grounding or other injury. The monitoring program at the Elpis site includes an assessment of the structural stability of installed limestone restoration boulders, and comparison of the recovery of coral populations, to be performed on the following schedule: nine, ten, twelve, and fifteen years after restoration. Restoration of this site was completed in the summer of 1995 with monitoring planned to begin in following years. However, due to staffing and other logistical constraints, the first biological monitoring event for this site, used as a “pilot project” to establish data collection methods, was delayed until August 2004. In June and July 2005, the second monitoring event took place, and in August 2007, the third. This report presents the quantitative results of the latter two monitoring events.
