Book Description
A study of the fish populations within the surf zone and over the first and second reefs off Hallandale (Broward County), Florida, was conducted, 7 years following dredging for a beach restoration project. This study utilized an observational and recording technique adapted from Jones and Thompson (1978). The data were compared with those of an earlier study conducted in 1971-72. In the 1971-72 study, conducted during and subsequent to dredging activities, 42 species of fishes belonging to 24 families were found. The present study revealed the presence of 114 species of fishes belonging to 36 families. The dusky jawfish (Opistognathus whitehursti), common along the first reef platform in 1971-72, was found to be absent. The absence of this fish is attributed to an alteration of the substate on the first reef by incursion of fine sediments. Damage to the second reef observed during 1971-72 was not evident during this study. (Author).

Book Description
Benthic communities adjacent to a restored beach at Hallandale (Broward County), Florida were analyzed and compared to similar communities at nearby Golden Beach (Dade County). Five sand stations and four reef stations were sampled at each locality along a transect from the intertidal zone through the second reef. This study assesses the postnourishment condition of sandy-bottom and reef-dwelling communities approximately 7 years after beach nourishment and offshore dredging. The study also provides prenourishment data for an impact analysis of a fill project underway at Hallandale in September 1979. Core samples at sand stations yielded 114 invertebrate species, not including nemerteans and oligochaete annelids. More than 90 percent of the fauna occurred at the two outer stations in densities of up to 17,144 individuals per square meter. Quadrat samples of reef biota showed a maximum abundance and diversity of corals, alcyonarians, and sponges in the middle and outer regions of the second reef. The reefs appeared in good condition, and showed no apparent effects from a 1971 beach nourishment project. (Author).

Excerpt from Ecological Evaluation of a Beach Nourishment Project at Hallandale (Broward County), Florida, Vol. 2: Evaluation of Benthic Communities Ajacont to a Restored Beach, Hollandale (Broward County), Florida This report (vol. II) is published to provide coastal engineers with an evaluation of benthic communities adjacent to a restored beach. Volume I provides a comprehensive study of the impact of beach nourishment and offshore borrowing on nearshore and coral reef fish populations. Both studies were conducted at Hallandale (broward County), Florida. The work was carried out under the coastal ecology research program of the u.s. Army Coastal Engineering Research Center (cerc).
