How much habitat will you be removing?
Nothing on land. In fact, with the addition of sheet piling and breakwaters we will be adding habitat for mangrove to grow on. The area for the new marina is mainly dead coral. Any live coral has been relocated. Once the marina is completed, we believe turtle grass will thrive there like it does in the other marinas. The existing inner and outer marinas have created protected areas of clean, shallow water which has promoted the growth of seagrass and increased the nursery areas for breeding fish.
