Permanent moorings are installed to eliminate the need for any vessel to anchor. The submarine topography past the fringing reef of North Sound is characterized by two well developed spur-and-groove terraces (Rigby and Roberts, 1976), a shallow terrace reaching to a depth of 9 m, and a deeper one at 15 m that plunges into the abyss." Barcadera Reef 1 Barcadera Reef Bonaire "12°11'45""" "68°18'00""" BMP "This site is located on the leeward shore of Bonaire, north of the town of Kralendijk, and consists of typical Montastraea annularis dominated fringing reefs at the 10-12 m depth range. The stony coral cover ranges from 20 to 40%. This site is located approximately 400 m from the nearest dive mooring and gives only limited shore access via an open rung ladder from a low limestone cliff. Land use at this area has changed dramatically over the past five years, particularly with the building of upscale residential housing in a previously undisturbed area. Increased sedimentation through land clearing and landscaping is affecting the reefs, and is increased nutrient loading from sewage. Because the prescribed 10-12 m depth range corresponds to the drop-off zone, transects were laid out oblique to the coast so as to fall within the prescribed depth range in two adjacent groups of five transects. Within the groups, transects are approximately 2 m apart. Data collected at this site show a reef benthos dominated by massive stony corals (29.4% mean cover) and algae (33.0% mean cover), with few soft corals (2.4% mean cover) or sponges present."

Buccoo Reef Buccoo Reef Tobago 11°11.5' 60°50.3' IMA "The Bon Accord Lagoon is bordered to the south and east by a mangrove wetland of lagoon fringe type, which forms a belt several meters wide and has an area of 77 ha. Indications are that this is a mature community, with conditions for growth close to optimum (Goreau, 1967). Red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) predominates, but white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa) is also common. Black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) and button mangrove (Conocarpus erectus) are also present. In the northeastern sector, the mangrove fringe is connected by a small channel to another mangrove area located in the southern sector of Buccoo Bay. This is a basin mangrove community type located behind a sandy beach barrier. There are several perennial inlets into the system in this sector, but there are no outlets except the small channel connecting to the lagoon fringe community. It has been suggested that this basin area is a continuation of the Bon Accord Lagoon wetland system (Alleng, 1994). Although the land adjacent to the entire Bon Accord-Buccoo Bay wetland is privately owned, the wetland itself has been included in the Buccoo Reef Restricted Area and the proposed Buccoo Reef National Park. Adjacent land use is mainly agricultural, residential development, or scrub vegetation. The system has been impacted by both natural and human factors. Most of the western part of the mangrove wetland was destroyed by Hurricane Flora in September 1993 but it has recovered since then. Some mangroves were also cleared at Sheebird's Point for beach improvement in the 1960s, and gaps have been cut for jetties and drainage canals. In the past two years, a housing estate has been developed along the southwestern boundary of the wetland, with concomitant construction of sewage treatment ponds. It has been proposed that some enclosed lagoons in this area of the wetlands be utilized for the discharge of treated domestic sewage waste."
