J. Harold HudsonPublished 2008

Presents 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. The grounding occurred within the area now referred to as the Key Largo NMS Existing Management Area within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Discusses quantitative results of the 2005 and 2007 monitoring of Gorgonian, Milleporan, and Schleractinian coral communities and reference areas. Results showed densities of all taxa in the restored area were greater by 2007, and biodiversity in the restored area was also greater.
