A report describing work done on the assessment of Hurricane Andrew on reef corals and includes the organization, editing, processing, and analyzing the data collected previously. This report describes work accomplished during the past six months of the contract period. During this tirne we completed all the field work, including the transect survey of the last site (Bache Shoals) and the census of the recruitment quadrats in three sites (East Bache, Triumph, and Ball Buoy). We have devoted most of this period to the organization, editing, processing, graphing, analysis and interpretation of the data collected during the past two years. A brief, preliminary summary of the data and results is presented below. A more detailed , comprehensive presentation will be provided for the final report and in manuscripts prepared for peer-reviewed publication.
