BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) <br />CSA was contracted by the Village of Key Biscayne (VKB) to develop and implement a <br />seagrass restoration and mitigation plan to satisfy the Florida Department of Environmental <br />Protection (FDEP) special conditions requiring seagrass mitigation to offset authorized and <br />unauthorized impacts to seagrass from beach nourishment projects. CSA conducted <br />hydrographic surveys using shallow water hydrographic survey systems and telemetry to <br />identify and map over 2 acres of seagrass injuries and blowholes for potential restoration <br />and to locate donor seagrass beds. <br />CSA directly restored over 1.0 acre of seagrass injuries using structural augmentation <br />(sediment addition), seagrass planting, and fertilization (bird stake placement to encourage <br />natural seagrass in-growth). CSA obtained the necessary state and federal permits, <br />designed the mitigation approaches, and developed the mitigation and monitoring plans for <br />approval by regulatory agencies. The standard methodologies employed were developed <br />by Florida researchers and practitioners and are published in the Final Programmatic <br />Environmental Impact Statement for Seagrass Restoration in the Florida Keys National <br />Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). It is anticipated that the indirect benefits to the seagrass <br />habitat encompass a much larger acreage and will continue to provide critical ecological <br />services in perpetuity, in absence of further impacts. <br />CSA also conducted the long-term monitoring program, performing multiple surveys of the <br />seagrass planting sites from 2008 through 2015. CSA scientists conducted Braun-Blanquet <br />quadrat surveys of selected mitigation and reference sites. Based on 60 months o f <br />monitoring, the seagrass restoration exceeded success criteria with >30% density and <br />>60% seagrass coverage. Finally, in 2015, CSA removed all bird stakes associated with <br />the project. <br />Total Project Cost: $637,902. <br />25.
