I'm curious how they can asses a dollar amount to the damage done to a reef.

I'm also surprised that a ship that large only did 17,000 square feet worth of damage. Not that it's really small but it could have been much worse.

tiny cruise ship... which apparently a few years back got stuck in some sand... I think that company really needs to rethink the competency of it's captains and/or underwater maps

Do they (distributors) farm coral there? Maybe they based the dollar value on wholesale price?
