Objective# 6: Protect 20-30% of each type of representative reefs and associated habitats in the SEFCRI region from extractive use (no take)




% Hard Coral Cover

High

~9 miles from drawing to the north.


High coral percent cover and Acroporids
Avoid popular dive sites.
Fish diversity high.
Boynton water tower (Martini Glass) Great area for demarcation for fishermen to see

# Coral Species

2-10 Species

Fink's grouper hole AKA Delray grouper ledge, to include high fish density and richness sites.
Area popular dive site ledges abundant, high coral and fish density, high species for coral (2-10), high density fish areas.
The high density fish areas is the driver for this area and may be contentious

Objective #1: Protect areas that are unique within the SEFCRI region




% Hard Coral Cover

High

3rd reef is well developed. Between two inlets. Central between Boynton and Boca Inlets.
Big fishing area due to good reef structure, this could be contentious.
Local knowledge says this is a good fishing and diving area.
This includes Fink's Reef and the Delray Snapper Hole.

Objective# 6: Protect 20-30% of each type of representative reefs and associated habitats in the SEFCRI region from extractive use (no take)




% Hard Coral Cover




Low use, higher coral cover, high fish density and number of species.
~9 from previous drawing
Includes Fink's Grouper Hole but may want to make area smaller and bring northern boundary further south to avoid area of medium anchoring according to Behringer data

Anchoring Activity
