Erosion District Manager TO: ST. LUCIE COUNTY EROSION DISTRICT SUBJECT: Artificial Reef Grant Program: Approval to submit artificial reef grant applications for construction and monitoring to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). BACKGROUND: The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Division of Marine Fisheries, is accepting artificial reef grant applications for fiscal year 2007-2008. The FWC is anticipating $700,000 in available funds with a maximum cap of $60,000 for each artificial reef construction project. There are two types of applications available including construction and monitoring. The application deadline is March 16, 2007 with confirmation of program funding occurring by July 1,2007. We are proposing to submit a construction application to FWC for the placement of 1,500 tons (3 barges) of concrete railroad ties or other suitable concrete material onto the permitted artificial reef sites. The total project cost is estimated at $68,500.00 and will include staging and deployment of materials as well as pre-deployment and post-deployment dives. St. Lucie County will also provide in-kind services for this grant that includes project management and oversight. The monitoring grant application will be utilize sonar to side scan the Nearshore and Offshore artificial reef sites. This survey information will be used to help identify any historical artificial reefs that were deployed in either of the two sites and have not been recorded. These unrecorded sites can then be investigated through future monitoring dives to learn more about hem. The total monitoring grant application is estimated at $25,000. FUNDS: This construction grant application anticipates that $60,000 will be provided from the FWC grant with an $8,500 match from the Erosion District (artificial reefs). The monitoring grant application anticipates $25,000 will be provided by FWC. PREVIOUS ACTION: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Erosion District Board approval to submit construction and monitoring artificial reef grant applications to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for fiscal year 2007-2008.
