On 03/23/03, Vone Research continued monitoring the coral restoration project. We first dove area #27. Little work has been done here. Nothing has been stabilized and several hard corals are still upside down. This area is small in comparison with other areas. The only thing different from the last time we dove this area on 03/01/03 is that now some of the hard corals are nearly dead. It would not take much for a diver to over turn and mark the hard corals. My guess is it could be done easily by one diver in one dive. Our hands are tied, so will simply recorde the reef as it dies. Next we dove site # 37. The stabilized corals in this area are doing ok. There are a lot of hard coals that have not been stabilized in this area nor are they marked. It is possible that local recreational divers have been turning over these corals since this was a very popular reef. It is obvious there were multiple cable drags here . One section of this reef has been scraped nearly clean. This once beautiful reef probably will not be the same in our lifetime. Three of the reefs that have been destroyed in this in environmental disaster were some of the best in Broward County.
