RELEVANT PROJECTS <br />a. <br />(1) Title and Location (City and State) (2) Year Completed <br />Miami Harbor Sediment Tracing Study Miami, Florida Professional Services Construction (If applicable) <br />Ongoing 2015 <br />(3) Brief Description (Brief Scope, Size, Cost, etc.) and Specific Role X Check if project performed with current firm <br />Project Manager and Lead Field Scientist for a sediment tracer study conducted several years following construction of the Miami Harbor Dredging <br />(Phase III) Project in order to examine sediment transport pathways and dominant oceanographic processes in the vicinity of Government Cut and the <br />federal channel. Led all field aspects of the study, which included four rounds of sediment sampling in a 9-month period for tracers and other data collection <br />on Middle and Outer Reefs and deployment and maintenance of moorings housing oceanographic equipment. Coordinated all GIS aspects of the study and <br />display of tracer results in figures and co-authored all reports with teaming partners. Cost: $120,000 <br />b. <br />(1) Title and Location (City and State) (2) Year Completed <br />Coral and Seagrass Mitigation for the Miami Harbor Construction Dredging (Phase III) Project Miami, Florida Professional Services Construction (If applicable) <br />2016 2015 <br />(3) Brief Description (Brief Scope, Size, Cost, etc.) and Specific Role X Check if project performed with current firm <br />Field Scientist in large-scale coral and seagrass mitigation programs for the Miami Harbor Dredging (Phase III) Project. Member of team that successfully <br />relocated over 800 stony corals, sea fans, and octocorals from the project footprint to natural reefs and a newly constructed mitigation reef. Participated in <br />the post-transplantation monitoring of 115,000 seagrass plants successfully transplanted into a newly filled dredge hole north of the Julia Tuttle Causeway in <br />Miami which created 17 acres of new seagrass habitat. Cost: $1,875,482. <br />c. <br />(1) Title and Location (City and State) (2) Year Completed <br />Broward County Outfall Coral Monitoring Broward County, Florida Professional Services Construction (If applicable) <br />2016 <br />(3) Brief Description (Brief Scope, Size, Cost, etc.) and Specific Role X Check if project performed with current firm <br />Lead Field Scientist for a series of coral monitoring surveys associated with the Ocean Outfall Cover Material Rehabilitation Project offshore the Broward <br />County Water and Wastewater Services North Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant in Pompano Beach. The monitoring surveys were initiated to monitor <br />success of stony and soft corals relocated to the cover material on the outfall pipe following damage to benthic resources during maintenance dredging of <br />the Hillsboro Inlet in 2002. Reference colonies were also tagged and monitored. CSA also reattached an additional 40 “corals of opportunity” (corals <br />naturally detached from substrate due to bio-erosion or storms) to the cover material and performed monitoring surveys of these colonies as well as <br />respective reference colonies as additional mitigation. Cost: $80,807. <br />d. <br />(1) Title and Location (City and State) (2) Year Completed <br />Nearshore Hardbottom and Coral Reef Monitoring for the Hillsboro/Deerfield Beach Nourishment Project <br />Town of Hillsboro <br />Beach/City of Deerfield <br />Beach, Florida <br />Professional Services Construction (If applicable) <br />2015 2011 <br />(3) Brief Description (Brief Scope, Size, Cost, etc.) and Specific Role X Check if project performed with current firm <br />Field Scientist during a 5 year period to assess nearshore hardbottom habitat before, during, and after construction of a beach nourishment project on <br />Hillsboro/Deerfield Beach, as well as coral reef habitat adjacent to borrow areas. Established permanent transects and collected close-up video and quadrat <br />data to characterize and monitor hardbottom communities. Conducted health assessments of corals in response to potential project-related sedimentation <br />and prepared weekly coral health reports during construction phase. Cost: $576,583. <br /> <br />92
