Proposed Expanded Scope of Work <br /> September 15 , 2009 <br /> Spoonbill Marsh <br /> Benthic Invertebrate Assessment and <br /> Monitoring <br /> Principal Investigator : Dr. Edward Proffitt <br /> Associate Professor <br /> Department of Biological Sciences <br /> Florida Atlantic University <br /> c/o Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at FAU <br /> Marine Science Bldg <br /> 5775 Old Dixie Hwy <br /> Ft . Pierce , FL 34946 <br /> 772 462 - 0874 <br /> cproffit@fau . edu <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> This proposal is to collect , sort , and identify benthic samples at the three Spoonbill marsh <br /> sites for which the approximate locations are shown in Fig . 1 . These samples will supplement the <br /> data gathered by our previous sampling in the Spring 2009 . The report prepared will provide <br /> comparisons with the earlier samples at these same three Spoonbill sites , and at the Spoonbill <br /> reference sites sampled in the Spring . The report will document and analyze diversity, and will <br /> characterize the benthic community and discuss abundances of the dominant species . <br /> EXHIBIT 1 <br />
