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