1 The State of Florida Artificial Reef Program s Dive Assessment Team: 22 Years of Fish Census Data, 1992 to 2014 Bill Horn Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (retired) Division of Marine Fisheries Management Artificial Reef Program January 16, 2015
2 Fish census data collected by five different AAUS scientific divers within the Florida artificial reef program over 22 years
3 Celso Alisia Fish Census Surveys
4 Tom Maher Fish Census Surveys
5 Jon Dodrill today 33 Fish Census Surveys
6 Keith Mille today 81 Fish Census Surveys
7 7 Bill Horn Fish Census Surveys
8 Primary Dive Assessment Objectives Grant Compliance Document type of reef materials Confirm that the location of the reef materials are inside the permitted site Document reef maximum profile, and navigational clearance Take underwater video and still images to document status of reef conditions
9
10 Secondary Dive Assessment Objectives Perform fish census, mainly Roving Diver Method Document water and reef conditions Estimate footprint of reef materials Document conditions of reef material, i.e., settlement, or structural failure Document invertebrate fauna
11 Additional Objective Getting to know the locals.
12 And meeting lifelong friends
13 Dive Data Sheet-Front Four types of data collected: Water conditions Bottom conditions Reef materials data Dive data
14 Dive Data Sheet-Back Two regional forms: Temperate and Tropical Name, date & location Possible fish species listed Four relative abundance categories S,F,M and A Unknown species drawing
15 Even lefties can use it
