Indian River County (Grantee) is committed to protecting and preserving the Indian River Lagoon. In. the past, the Grantee has successfully established an oyster bed reef in an area adjacent to Spoonbill Marsh in .Vero :Beach, Florida, which has reduced the amount of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) entering into the Indian'River Lagoon in the area. The Grantee wishes to continue its efforts by constructing a living shore]in&oyster reef along the shoreline .of Foot Island. Foot Island is a roughly 2,750 sq. foot island located within Vero Beach, Florida. Evidence of erosion has been observed along the western and southern portions of -the island where dead 'mangroves were exposed, likely due to`boat wake and a relatively large fetch. The purpose of the proposed oyster .reef would. be to a) stabilize the Foot island shoreline. and b)' improve water quality conditions of discharges from the adjacent Florida' Department of Transportation (FDOT) outfall pipe into -the Indian River Lagoon. At this point in time, the project's conceptual.design is complete and the Grantee has received permission from the Indian River Board of County Commissioners to proceed. with the proposed project. .PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project will require the Grantee to construct living shoreline/oyster reef: along,much of the Foot Island shoreline with emphasis on the western and southern portions of the island. The southern and western portions of the island also adjacent to the FDOT outfall pipe. The oyster bags will be stacked to create void spaces throughout the reef structure of differing sizes, dimensions; and openings to the Indian River Lagoon. The proposed. oyster reef is approximately, 27.500 ,sctuare feet. The reef location is close .enough`to the Foot lsland that it will not inhibit the navigability of the area. The reef provides a habitat for attached and encrustng organisms such as oysters, and other invertebrates such as stone crabs, juvenile -fish species, and game fish species. In turd, the reef will act as ,an in Water treatment system to, facilitate the removal of total tihrogen (7N) and total .phosphorus (TP) from storntwater discharged through the FDOT outfall into the:Indian'River 'Lagoon, The reef is self-perpetuating in that the attached and encrusting invertebrates and turf algae Will continue to overgrow any l are'areas created in the future. TASKS. and DELIVERABLES: Task 1: Construction Task Description: The Grantee will construct an oyster bed reef in accordance with :the construction contract documents.
