Reef Crest Monitoring In November, 2006, the Reef Ball coral team visited the north wall crest reef for an observational monitoring. Crest health was recovering well from the hurricane although there was some signs of stress from human use (such as plastic bags in the reef) and water quality (including some minor bleaching). Over the crest and on the wall, health was good but scroll corals were showing signs of heavy bleaching.

An EXCELLENT shot for use by conservation organizations illistratrating WHY plastics bags should not be allowed on islands with coral reefs or near coral reef areas.

Plastic Bag litters the reef...killing corals attaches to along the way.

Too recent to be from the hurricane....this might have been from a careless snorkeler.
