Encallamiento de Embarcación Abril de 2006
¿Que pasó?
El 27 de abril de 2006, el petrolero T/V Margara encalló en un arrecife de coral poco profundo cerca de la Bahía de Tallaboa en Puerto Rico. La embarcación se retiró exitosamente del lugar al día siguiente sin fugas de aceite en el agua. Sin embargo, los esfuerzos de respuesta y la remoción del buque causaron daños adicionales significativos al arrecife.
La restauración de emergencia se llevó a cabo en el lugar entre 2006 y 2008. Estas acciones salvaron aproximadamente 10,500 corales y cumplieron con algunas de las restauraciones necesarias en el lugar.
¿Cuáles fueron los impactos?
El encallamiento y las actividades de respuesta subsiguientes resultaron en lesiones significativas al frágil ecosistema de los arrecifes. Las estimaciones preliminares indican que aproximadamente dos acres de arrecife fueron afectados. Varias especies de coral fueron impactadas, incluyendo seis listadas como amenazadas bajo la Ley de Especies en Peligro.

The grounding and subsequent response activities resulted in significant injury to the fragile reef ecosystem. Preliminary estimates indicate that approximately two acres of reef were affected.
