Characterization of Mechanical Damage to Seagrass Beds in La Cordillera Reefs Natural Reserve. 2007
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of mechanical damage from boating activity within La Cordillera Reefs Natural Reserve. The main objectives of this effort were to determine the intensity of impact of boat traffic and priorities for management of boat traffic that will permit minimization of propeller scarring and anchor damage and to estimate anthropogenic disturbance to seagrass beds that can be used by regulatory agencies in support of mitigation efforts.
