摘要: |
Grounded and abandoned vessels are a problem in many coastal areas, and they are a significant threat for coral reef habitats. In addition to the physical crushing and smothering of habitats, grounded vessels pose a significant threat of oil spills and releases of other pollutants, may impede navigation, block public and private uses of intertidal and subtidal habitats such as aquaculture, become a site for illegal dumping of waste oils and hazardous materials, be a visual eyesore, and become a wildlife entrapment and public health hazard. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a long and diverse interest in grounded and abandoned vessels, but action to address these threats has been limited and focused on specific threats. |
