RELEVANT PROJECTS <br />a. <br />(1) Title and Location (City and State) (2) Year Completed <br />Brevard County Mid Reach Beach Restoration Program Brevard, Mid-Reach Professional Services Construction (If applicable) <br />Ongoing <br />(3) Brief Description (Brief Scope, Size, Cost, etc.) and Specific Role x Check if project performed with current firm <br />Project Manager for Brevard County Mid Reach Beach Restoration Program hardbottom monitoring. Hardbottom epibiota and fishes are being monitored at <br />four fill areas and one reference area off Brevard County’s Mid Reach. Monitoring data include quantitative photography and visual fish assessments. Data <br />have been collected annually since 2013 to provide pre-construction information from which to assess potential impacts of the beach construction, which is <br />expected for 2018. Also contributed to Uniform Mitigation Assessment Methodology analysis leading to design of a mitigation reef. Mitigation reefs were <br />deployed during summer 2017 and monitored with quantitative photography and visual assessment. Project Cost: $129,080 (billed to date) <br />b. <br />(1) Title and Location (City and State) (2) Year Completed <br />South Siesta Key Beach Nourishment Project, <br />Phase II Hardbottom Monitoring Surveys Sarasota County, Florida Professional Services Construction (If applicable) <br />2015; 2016 2016 <br />(3) Brief Description (Brief Scope, Size, Cost, etc.) and Specific Role X Check if project performed with current firm <br />Field Scientist and Subject Matter Expert for multiyear monitoring program for the Siesta Key, Florida beach renourishment project. Assessment of <br />nearshore and offshore hardbottom biological habitats before, during, and after construction. Key expert for scientific data collection, including collecting <br />close-up photos, video, and in situ repetitive quadrat data to characterize the hardbottom biological communities. Co-authored multiple reports, led statistical <br />analyses, and program design. Cost: $490,341. <br />c. <br />(1) Title and Location (City and State) (2) Year Completed <br />Key Ecological Functions of East Florida <br />Nearshore Hard Bottom and Artificial Reefs Offshore, East Florida Professional Services Construction (If applicable) <br />2014 <br />(3) Brief Description (Brief Scope, Size, Cost, etc.) and Specific Role X Check if project performed with current firm <br />Chief Scientist, Project Manager, Ichthyofaunal Expert, and Chief Statistician for an evaluation of ecological function and mitigation of nearshore hardbottom <br />in southeast Florida. CSA managed a literature search and synthesis project to identify the area’s key ecological functions of nearshore hardbottom. The <br />synthesis examined functions of algae, invertebrates, fishes, and marine turtles. CSA worked with a multi-agency Technical Advisory Committee to <br />investigate how specific ecological functions vary with respect to water depth in the nearshore environment. After the information gathering phase of the <br />project, CSA conducted assessments of ecological function by sampling biota over time and across a gradient of water depths at artificial and natural <br />hardbottom features in two areas of Palm Beach County: Singer Island and Ocean Ridge. The experimental design consisted of three categorical factors: <br />depth, reef, and survey. During the six field surveys, epibiota were assessed for percent cover from 0.5 m-2 quadrats; macroalgae and associated <br />invertebrates were suction-sampled for estimating species richness and abundance. Microhabitat use by newly settled fishes was assessed by visual survey <br />and 0.3 m-2 photo quadrats, and newly settled fishes were captured with hand nets for identification. Visual transects for sea turtles were used to determine <br />the presence and abundance of sea turtle species. In-depth statistical analysis accompanied the data in a comprehensive report. Project Cost: $412,523. <br />d. <br />(1) Title and Location (City and State) (2) Year Completed <br />Venice Beach Nourishment Project Venice, Florida Professional Services Construction (If applicable) <br />2013 <br />(3) Brief Description (Brief Scope, Size, Cost, etc.) and Specific Role x Check if project performed with current firm <br />Chief Scientist and Project Manager responsible for successful completion of all tasks, data analysis, and reports for monitoring of hardbottom adjacent to <br />fill and borrow areas for a beach nourishment project offshore Venice, Florida. The purpose of the monitoring program was to assess 1) how the equilibrium <br />toe-of-fill for the proposed project performs compared with the predictions, and 2) possible direct and indirect impacts to biota. Hardbottom features that <br />support epibiotic assemblages occurring near the offshore borrow sites and nearshore fill sites were monitored for impacts related to sedimentation, <br />turbidity, and other dredge-related stressors. CSA also monitored proposed corridors for dredging pipelines prior to dredging to ensure the pipelines would <br />not directly contact hardbottom and after dredging to document any impacts that may have occurred. In addition, CSA was responsible for pre-construction <br />monitoring of shorebirds and migratory seabirds and their behavioral activity and nests. CSA evaluated the monitoring data and prepared reports that <br />presented monitoring results and compared predicted versus actual impacts. CSA also monitored the nearshore artificial mitigation reef constructed offshore <br />of Venice Beach for colonization and community stabilization following construction.
