The new Undercurrents issue: Biological Monitoring in Adverse Conditions...Undercurrents
An ATM Coastal Newsletter

Summer 2008

The featured article is titled "Biological Monitoring in Adverse Conditions."

It highlights Ambersand Beach, a narrow barrier island in Florida's Indian River County (IRC). "In 2003, IRC completed a beach restoration project at Ambersand, but in 2004 the forces of Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne washed away much of the restored portions of the beach. Before the IRC could embark on another beach renourishment project to repair the damage, it was critical to assess the condition of the nearshore reef habitat. Biological monitoring is also required during and after the restoration."

It also includes a sidebar titled "8 Keys to Biological Monitoring Success."
