The passage of Hurricane Hugo through the eastern Caribbean provided a unique opportunity for multidisciplinary study of (1) the effects of severe storms on tropical coastal and marine ecosystems, and (2) the physical and biological responses of thoseecosystems to intense storm-induced changes. In addition to its direct value as basic science, this study can be used to facilitatedevelopment of improved coastal and marine resource management capabilities.
