Summary

NOAA, as the lead federal Trustee, proposes to compensate the public for interim losses to coral reef resources caused by the T/V PORT STEWART grounding by implementing an active coral propagation project. The environmental review process has led NOAA to conclude that these restoration actions will not have a significant adverse effect, individually or cumulatively, on the quality of the human environment.
