ABSTRACT
A monitoring program to determine the impact of marina development and operation on seagrasses was designed and performed for the City of Fort Lauderdale at the Birch/Las Olas Fort Lauderdale Municipal Marina. The marina site is located on the east side of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) on the north and south sides of the Las Olas Boulevard bridge in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Basically, the proposed marina development plan includes removing the existing marina and replacing it with piers and slips extending further waterward toward the ICW.
