Task 2 . Seagrass Monitoring <br /> ETC will map the seagrass communities in the Indian River Lagoon (hereafter referred to as Lagoon) <br /> adjacent to the Spoonbill Marsh project . In addition, two background sites will be located and <br /> monitored in a section of the Lagoon away from the influence of the Spoonbill Marsh site . The <br /> seagrass communities will be mapped once per year during the month of July . <br /> The deliverables for this task will be a figure showing the general location of the seagrass transects <br /> and a table showing the data collected along each transect . <br /> Task 3 . Off- Site Biodiversity Monitoring <br /> ETC will assist the County with biodiversity monitoring in the Lagoon as defined by the Industrial <br /> Waste Facility Permit (Permit Number 31 -FL0166511 ) . This assistance will be limited to selection <br /> of the three sample stations in the section of the Lagoon adjacent to the Spoonbill Marsh, and two <br /> additional stations in the Lagoon away from the influence of the Spoonbill Marsh project . Others <br /> will be responsible for the collection and analysis of the biodiversity samples . <br /> The deliverables for this task will be a letter report summarizing the Lagoon bottom conditions at <br /> the points where the biodiversity samples are to be collected. <br /> Task 4 . Vegetation Mapping <br /> ETC will prepare a vegetation map for the Spoonbill Marsh project site . This map will be prepared <br /> once per year during the months of May to June . <br /> The deliverables for this task will include a figure showing the general location of the point intercept <br /> transects, a map showing the general location of the on- site plant communities, a table showing the <br /> plants species encountered along each transect, and a plant species list . <br /> Task 5 . Fisheries Monitoring <br /> ETC will monitor the fish populations on the Spoonbill Marsh site . The monitoring will be <br /> conducted using Breder traps and seine hauls once per year. Fish captured will be identified, <br /> enumerated and released . Where field identification of an individual is not possible, at least one <br /> voucher specimen will be preserved in 10 percent formalin for future identification . <br /> The deliverables for this task will include a figure showing the general location of the monitoring <br /> sites , a general description of the vegetation present at each site , water depths , and a list of fish <br /> species captured at each monitoring station . <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
