Resource Description: NODC Accession Number #9900025
Paul L. Jokiel and Eric K. Brown
The proposed modification and expansion of the Ma'alaea small boat harbor raised concerns about the negative impact on coral reefs in and around the harbor. Biological impacts include siltation on nearby reefs from dredging operations and physical destruction of the reef habitat during construction of the breakwater and channel entrance. In order to assess habitat loss and potential damage to the adjacent coral reef ecosystem it was necessary to determine the extent and structure of the coral habitat through a series of underwater surveys. This informatio will be used to recommend type and extent of mitigation activity.
