Abstract
Between 1997 and 2002, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Sanctuaries Division, conducted three major coral reef repairs. The repairs were conducted in response to large vessel groundings on coral reefs. The purpose of the repairs was to mitigate for biological damage and to repair reef structure. Two of the repairs were conducted in the Florida Keys, and one repair at Mona Island, Puerto Rico. In chronological order, the three reef repairs are described.
