The construction of a small boat harbor in Agana Bay to meet both recreational and subsistence-type fishing needs for the Agana tributary area will consist of a revetted mole, two breakwaters, a wave absorber, and navigation channels. Local interests will provide necessary berthing, onshore, and related facilities. Implementation of the proposed plans will alter the existing shallow reef area to a light-draft vessel harbor complex. The proposed harbor would improve conditions for the existing fleet, stimulate boating activity, reduce boat damages, and enhance the recreational use of the bay. The impact upon marine life should be limited to the period of construction, and the proposal will not affect existing surfing sites. No rare or endangered species nor any areas of historical significance will be affected. Adverse environmental effects include: The various short-term impacts of the construction period; The loss of about 40 acres of reef flat habitat to harbor use; The overall increase in vehicular traffic within the area; and, Possible conflicts of use among boaters, surfers, and fishermen.
