2 PROJECT LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 1,037 sq. mi. Pop. ~53,000 (~ 52 persons/sq. mi.) ~26 miles of Gulf of Mexico shoreline County and State parks along the Gulf Tourism ~ $1 billion/year
3 PROJECT HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT Chapter F.S. created the Florida Artificial Reef Program, establishing financial and technical assistance to coastal local governments, universities, and non-profits for reef siting and monitoring. FWC administers program through Ch. 68E-9 F.A.C. Objectives of Artificial Reef Program include: Enhance recreational fishing and diving opportunities Provide socio-economic benefit to local coastal communities Increase reef fish habitat Reduce user conflicts Facilitate reef research Do no harm to fisheries, EFH or human health
4 PROJECT LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING Natural Hardbottom Limited reef habitat in northern Gulf Few areas with limestone outcropping Majority of substrate off of Walton is sand/shell Limited data, but some hardbottom in ~90 ft depth, 4.5 miles offshore of Grayton Beach Artificial Reefs 1995 Walton #1 (concrete pyramids) 1997 Eastern Lake Reef (concrete culverts) 1999 Frangista Barge (steel barge) 2001 Frangista Beach Culverts (concrete culverts)
5 PROJECT HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT April 20, 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill April NRDA Trustees and BP entered into the Framework Agreement for Early Restoration Addressing Injuries Resulting from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill NRDA Early Restoration Phase III Northwest Florida Artificial Reef and Restoration Project: 5 NW Florida Counties ~ 3,000 artificial reefs 48 permitted areas Different depths Different module designs Cost ~ $11.5 M
6 WALTON COUNTY NRDA ARTIFICIAL REEF PROJECT Proposed Construction of Offshore and Nearshore Artificial Reefs 622 reef modules 16 permitted reef sites 4 inshore snorkel reefs (12-20 ft) 9 nearshore fish/dive reefs (55-62 ft) 3 offshore fish/dive reefs (68-90 ft)
7 WALTON COUNTY NRDA ARTIFICIAL REEF PROJECT Reef Modules Grouper Reef 5 tall, 5 x 10 wide 3+ tons Super Reef 18 tall, 18+tons Ecosystems Snorkeling Reef Florida Limestone Pyramid Reef 8 tall, 3 tons The Reefmaker / Walter Marine
8 SOUTH WALTON ARTIFICIAL REEF ASSOCIATION (SWARA), INC. South Walton Artificial Reef Association (SWARA), Inc. Formed in 2012 in response to concerns over impacts from Deep Horizon Oil Spill Grass-roots, non-profit 501(c)3 organization of marine enthusiasts and artificial reef advocates Dedicated to the construction, deployment, and monitoring of Walton County s artificial reefs for the benefit and health of environment and community Appointed coordinator for the NRDA artificial reef projects
9 AGENCY COORDINATION AND PERMITTING State (FDEP) and Federal (USACE) permits required for reefs FWC funding through Agreement No NMFS consultation for sea turtles and Gulf sturgeon and Critical Habitat

16 REEF DEPLOYMENT / OBSERVATIONS JUNE AUGUST 2017 Reef Deployment Methodology Observation Methodology
17 POST-DEPLOYMENT DIVER INVESTIGATIONS (NOVEMBER 2017) Goal: Survey at least 30% of deployed modules and collect: Physical observations damage, subsidence, relief Recreational usage boat type/size, activity Benthic survey - invertebrates and macroalgae Fish census species and abundance
18 POST-DEPLOYMENT DIVER INVESTIGATIONS Physical Observations and Recreational Usage Super Reef Blue Mountain Florida Limestone Pyramid Reef Fish Haven #2 Grouper Reef Fish Haven #1 Ecosystems Snorkeling Reef Topsail Hill

20 POST-DEPLOYMENT DIVER INVESTIGATIONS Fish Census Great amberjacks Round scad Goliath grouper Red lionfish Red snapper Southern stingray Tomtates
21 POST-DEPLOYMENT SIDESCAN SURVEY (NOVEMBER 2017) Goal: Conduct sidescan over all permitted reef areas to assess reef placement and seafloor features. EdgeTech 4125 sidescan sonar system with high/low dual frequency Survey designed varied for inshore, nearshore and offshore plans due to varying water depths Survey designed to collect over 100% sidescan coverage Mosaics produced for all 16 reef areas Sidescan data analyzed for module positions, additional contacts and seafloor features.
22 POST-DEPLOYMENT SIDESCAN SURVEY Santa Clara Florida limestone pyramid Mosaics of all 16 reef areas All modules intact and upright All placed in the vicinity of the planned locations
