BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) CSA was contracted by Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management to design, fabricate, and install a series of artificial reef modules offshore Sunny Isles, Florida. The project was designed to mitigate two hard bottom areas that were damaged by a dredge during the Sunny Isles Beach Restoration Project. The project objectives were to 1) design several artificial reef modules that will provide physical attributes of the natural surrounding areas and a basis for enhancement of biological features (fishes, mobile invertebrates, and eventually sessile epibiota); 2) fabricate the selected modules; and 3) install the modules in configurations to provide maximum ecological value and habitat enhancement.

The project objectives were to 1) design several artificial reef modules that will provide physical attributes of the natural surrounding areas and a basis for enhancement of biological features (fishes, mobile invertebrates, and eventually sessile epibiota); 2) fabricate the selected modules; and 3) install the modules in configurations to provide maximum ecological value and habitat enhancement. Three module designs were selected due to their suitable structural complexity and similarity to naturally occurring hard bottom areas. Factors taken into consideration were the ability to provide habitat for cryptic organisms, the potential to attract various fish species, the recommended placement locations and orientation, and the sufficient surface area for settlement of juvenile fishes and invertebrate species. CSA constructed, transported and installed 80 artificial reef modules for the project, ensuring they were placed within the impacted areas on the eastern edge of the 60 foot deep reef tract. The reefs consisted of 50 Dome Modules (D), 20 Reef Replacement Modules (R), and 10 CSA2 Module Designs (M). The D modules were basically hemispheres constructed to mimic a large coral head. The R modules were constructed of natural limestone rock cemented into a rectangular structure. The M modules were constructed from pre- cast concrete with higher relief than the R modules. Total Project cost: $ $499,770. 25. FIRMS FROM SECTION C INVOLVED WITH THIS PROJECT a. (1) FIRM NAME (2) FIRM LOCATION (City and State) (3) ROLE CSA Ocean Sciences Inc. (as CSA International, Inc.)
