with FWCC guidelines. Nests would be located to a nearbynatural beach area and hatch <br /> tch <br /> success data calculated on all relocated nests . The applicant would be willing to <br /> undertake such a program at the request of the agencies. <br /> 3 .0 NEARSHORE MONITORING <br /> Included in this Section are plans for monitoring and assessing the effects of the proposed <br /> project on the nearshore environment. Nearshore hardbottom reefs will be monitored for <br /> changes in both sessile reef biota and fish populations . Monitoring for potential effects of <br /> the proposed project on the utilization of nearshore foraging habitats by marine turtles is <br /> Ialso included, as is a program to provide data on the distribution and seasonality of <br /> marine turtles in the nearshore environment countywide. Also included in this Section are <br /> plans for the monitoring of turbidity levels in the project area during construction, as <br /> turbidity is the primary physical parameter expected to impact marine habitats . <br /> Monitoring to evaluate the extent of the Toe of Fill (TOF) as compared to predictions is <br /> also included in this Section. <br /> 3 . 1 Nearshore Hardbottom Monitoring <br /> IA monitoring program will be undertaken to determine possible effects of the project on <br /> the sessile plant and animal communities of nearshore reefs and also the fish populations <br /> that inhabit the reefs . Sampling will include pre- and post-construction monitoring in the <br /> project areas and concurrent sampling of control sites . Monitoring will be conducted in <br /> the summer following project construction and for two subsequent years, for a total of <br /> three years of post-construction monitoring <br /> 3 . 1 . 1 Sessile Reef Biota <br /> lSessile reef biota will be censused along four shore perpendicular transects in the project <br /> area and two similar transects in an appropriate control area. Each transect will extend <br /> 2000 feet seaward from a FDEP beach monument along the established profile azimuths, <br /> or past the offshore extent of nearshore reef habitat, whichever is less . Proposed locations <br /> for nearshore hardbottom monitoring transects are shown in Table 2 and Figure 3 . <br /> Three stations will be located on each transect. Stations will be located in reef habitat in <br /> the inner, middle, and outer thirds of each transect. Each station will consist of two <br /> permanent 0 . 5 square meter photoquadrats . Two steel pins will be driven into the rock at <br /> each quadrat to precisely locate the quadrat frame, and photoquadrat sites will be <br /> benchmarked using GPS equipment with sub-meter accuracy. The inner station will be <br /> located in the vicinity of the predicted position of the ETOF in the project area transects, <br /> and at an equivalent position in the control area transects . At least one station on each <br /> will be located in each of the reef habitat types identified in the Environmental <br /> Assessment. Additional stations will be added to transects if needed to represent all reef <br /> habitat types . <br /> 10 <br />
