Abstract

Abstract Placement of large rocks under three recently constructed docks at a new marina in Biscayne Bay, Florida provided additional habitat to a stressed area. The bottom consisted of an accumulation of black, flocculent mud supporting few or no fish or macroinvertebrates prior to placing the habitat under the docks. After placement, numerous fish and macroinvertebrates became associated with the habitat. This technique can mitigate some of the ecologically adverse effects of dock construction and increase the standing crops of fish and macroinvertebrates beneath the dock.
