Description:

"In 1999, the U.S. Coast Guard, NOAA, and the Commonwealth of American Samoa began a collaborative effort to address nine abandoned fishing vessels on a reef in Pago Pago, American Samoa. These vessels were a public nuisance and posed an array of threats, including pollution, public health, and physical crushing of coral habitats. Using the combined authorities of the three agencies, the vessels were cleaned, cut apart, and removed from the reef, and the grounding sites were restored. This experience, combined with increasing agency concerns about the decline of coral habitats from a variety of causes, led NOAA and others to inquire whether abandoned vessels may be causing significant harm to coral habitats elsewhere"--P. 6.
