Ormond Beach

MAP     Satellite

Offshore, in depths between 7.5 meters (25 feet) and 12 meters (40 feet), is an exceptionally dense bed of sand dollars, Dendraster excentricus.  The bed is approximately 0.8 kilometer (0.5 mile) in length. In association with this population are many other invertebrates.

Integrity: The bed is undisturbed. Heated effluent from the nearby power plant rises to the surface and should not affect the benthic communities.

Use:  Research, education, observation
