6) Data management. All data collected during the project will be incorporated into an Access database maintained by EAI . Appropriate QA measures will be implemented to ensure that data are completely and accurately transferred from field data sheet to the electronic database . 7) Reporting. Records of daily monitoring activities , including names of monitoring personnel and times of monitoring will be maintained for the duration of monitoring . Reporting of Scams - In accordance with FWC permit requirements , EAI will report immediately to ATM and County if any scarp formations are observed , so FWC can be notified . Monthly Data Summaries - Each month , EAI will submit a summary report that will include the following information : A log of monitoring activities; Number of nests and false crawls by species and survey zone ; Number of nests marked for reproductive success ; Fate of marked nests ; and Results of scarp monitoring . Year-end Report - Within 60 days of completion of all monitoring activities , or as otherwise agreed upon , EAI will submit a final report of findings along with a brief interpretive report assessing project affects on nesting and reproductive success . A map depicting nest and scarp locations relative to DEP monuments will be appended to the report. The fate and reproductive success of all marked nests will be tabulated , and an estimate of total hatchling production for the built project will be calculated . To the extent possible , EAI will compare nesting and reproductive success data for the nourished beach with data collected by other permit holders on adjacent beaches . The year-end report will be provided to ATM and the County in both hard copy and electronic format (PDF) and will be accompanied by an electronic spreadsheet containing all raw data for transmittal to FWC . All activities described above will be performed under FWC Marine Turtle Permit TP-010 in accordance with current or future superseding conditions and guidelines issued by the permitting agency. The monitoring program described herein will comply with all conditions related to sea turtle compliance monitoring contained in the regulatory permit(s) issued for the beach nourishment project, for the 2003 marine turtle nesting season only. It is noted that the DEP permit requires monitoring for two additional years . Indian River County is developing a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for sea turtles that will include much of the survey effort that is required by the beach restoration permit, and it is assumed that once the HCP is initiated , these efforts can be combined . For this reason , this scope includes only the first year of turtle nesting monitoring required by the permit.
