V. SCOPE OF WORK: <br />A. Initial Baseline Data Collection: Baseline data collection will be required to develop the plan. <br />Based on the 1 -year schedule for the project, there is a need to collect site-specific baseline <br />seagrass coverage data prior to October 1, 2019 (to fall within optimal time for survey). The <br />County recently met with staff at the Smithsonian Institute to discuss the technical aspects of <br />this project. Staff at Smithsonian indicated that they would be willing to collaborate with the <br />County on the collection of this baseline seagrass data. The County feels that this is a unique <br />opportunity to enlist their staff expertise to collect available information on the benthic <br />environment adjacent to the islands. Field data collected by their staff will benefit both the <br />County, as well as the Smithsonian's on-going research in the Lagoon. <br />As depicted on the general rendering of available SJRWMD seagrass data there is limited <br />covera e within, and adjacent to, the LTICA. <br />..:J - D'I <br />Eardiir award] <br />-a: <br />n=om <br />7VT'Ga7 _c.Av <br />� IZ • <br />�+i .-HCS 4�L0.t 6A P.4a}'y 14 j' <br />Legend <br />2017 SJRWt7D Seagrass Data <br />• - , 4ayrznn.fz�: <br />5earana.Ca., ^aa <br />Mapped Seagrass in Proximity to the LTICA <br />36 <br />
