Record of Decision for the Coral Reef
Restoration Plan, Biscayne National

Notice of Availability.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National
Park Service announces the availability
of the Record of Decision (ROD) for the
Coral Reef Restoration Plan (Plan) for
Biscayne National Park, Florida. On
May 31, 2012, the Regional Director,
Southeast Region, approved the ROD for
the project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Many
vessel groundings occur annually in
Biscayne National Park, causing injuries
to submerged resources. The goal of
coral reef restoration actions in Biscayne
National Park is to create a stable, selfsustaining reef environment of similar
topography and surface complexity to
that which existed prior to injury, such
that natural recovery processes,
enhanced through mitigation, if needed,
will lead to a fully functioning coral reef
community with near natural
complexity, structure, and make-up of
organisms. The Plan provides a
systematic approach to addressing
injuries to coral reefs caused by vessel
groundings within Biscayne National
Park. The Environmental Impact
Statement prepared for the Plan
analyzed two alternatives, the No
Action alternative (Alternative 1) and
Restoration Using a Programmatic
Approach (Alternative 2).
Alternative 1 would not change the
existing approach to coral reef
restoration planning and
implementation, including NEPA
compliance. Currently, Biscayne
National Park resource managers
evaluate the impacts of coral reef
restoration actions and specific
restoration methods when planning and
implementing restoration at each
grounding incident. In contrast, to
address each coral injury under
Alternative 2, the most appropriate
restoration actions and specific
restoration methods would be selected
from a ‘‘toolbox’’ of methods that
already have had their impacts
evaluated programmatically. Under

Alternative 2, 10 reasonable and
common coral reef restoration actions
were identified and evaluated for
inclusion in the toolbox.
The ROD identifies Alternative 2
(Restoration Using a Programmatic
Approach) as the National Park
Service’s selected action. The ROD
includes a statement of the decision
made, a summary of the other
alternative considered, the basis for the
decision, a description of the
