Anchors

There was a little work on anchor damage estimation in:

McManus, J.W., Nañola, C.L., and Reyes, R.B. 1997. Effects of some
destructive fishing methods on coral cover and potential rates of
recovery. Environmental Management. 21(1): 69-78.

Perhaps you could plug the tables and short formulas there back into a
spreadsheet and adjust the estimated variables to your situation.

Cheers!

John

I am working on determining the impacts of anchor and fishing weight
damage in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.  I am specifically looking
for a simple computer model that could provide probability of impact
based on a known density and distribution of sessile organisms, and a
known amount of anchor and weight "drops".  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sean
