The current hard bottom reef monitoring study is part of a larger program to monitor conditions in and around the Charleston ODMDS. Specific objectives of the current hard bottom reef monitoring project described here were to document any changes in sedimentation rates, sponge/coral density, sponge/coral condition, finfish assemblages, and areal extent of six hard bottom reef areas over a five year period.
