Description:On 4 August 1984, the 396-foot Cyprian-registered freighter Wellwood ran aground off the Florida Keys on Molasses Reef in the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary and remained aground until 16 August 1984. The vessel was carrying a cargo of pelletized animal feed from Louisiana to Portugal. While the vessel received relatively little damage and no fuel or oil was spilled, the coral reef was physically impacted over a total area of 75,000 m2 (Jaap 1984)...This final report, a survey of algal damage and recovery, constitutes the initial component of Phase 2 of the research plan and establishes a format for further work in cooperation with other scientists and NOAA personnel.
