table for a dock. There are now 7 listed Endangered Species Act corals, Acropora palmata, A. aniC0171iS, Orbialla amndaris, O. faveolata,O. franksi,Dendrogyra cylthdrus and Myatophylla ferox. We will need to avoid these corals because we would have to go through Section 7 consultation and get a "take permi

mitting agencies for all in water construction and structures. Because the area has reefs containing Acroporapalmata and A cervicornis,Orbicella spp.Dendrogyra and Mycetophylla special coral surveys will be required by NMFS. It will be of the utmost importance to avoid reefs to reduce the potential of havin

ely map the benthic resources within the area. We will address Essential Fish Habitat in this section of the EAR to meet the NMFS requirement. 6.07 Terrestrial Resources: The report will address the shoreline areas that will be potentially impacted during the power cable installation and dock access. 6.08 Wetlands:
