Abstract :
In 1995, a large structural restoration of two coral reef grounding sites was implemented in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The partnership of NOAA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and private industry engineers, surveyors, and marine constructors made the restoration effort possible. Many unique designs and practice were utilized in the project
