Coral reef communities are currently threatened by a variety of stressors. One direct and visible impact is physical damage from anthropogenic sources such as vessel anchors, recreational SCUBA divers, snorkelers, and debris. To lesson the impact of anchors on reefs, many coastal nations around the world have installed public mooring systems for use by small commercial and recreational vessel (typically less than 15 m in length). This thesis reviews current international mooring programs and assesses the impact of mooring use on reefs offshore Broward County, FL. Details of existing mooring programs, such as costs, maintenance schedules, and effectiveness in meeting program goals, is not readily available to coral reef managers. In this stu...
