1 Assessment of Artificial Reefs Impacted by Hurricane Michael Jeff Renchen, Keith Mille, Devin Resko, Christine Kittle Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Division of Marine Fisheries Management Artificial Reef Program
2 Hurricane Michael Landfall in Mexico Beach as a major Category 4 storm in October 2018 Maximum sustained winds 154 mph Over 10 ft storm surge Hurricane force winds (>74 mph) extended 30 miles from the eyewall Strongest hurricane on record to make landfall in the FL panhandle Photo Credit: NOAA Environmental Visualization Laboratory ( $25.1 billion in damages 1
3 Impacted Artificial Reefs Artificial reefs have been displaced in the past due to storm-force winds 650 artificial patch reefs experienced hurricane force winds 1300 artificial patch reefs experienced tropical storm force winds 2
4 Assessment Sites Photo Credit: MBARA Bell Shoals (15-25 ft depth) Sherman/Crooked Island Sites (60-75 ft depth) 3
5 Assessment Methods Side Scan Operations Dive Observations Compare pre- and post- storm imagery Locate displaced reefs Ground truth side scan imagery Assess damage to artificial reef material 4
6 Assessment Methods Same track pre- and post- storm Pre-storm: September 2017 Post-storm: December 2018 Three days to map Bell Shoals 28 lines that were 4 miles long Each track 290 ft apart 6.25 mi 2 area Post-processing Cleaning the imagery Identifying materials 5
7 Assessment Methods MB-196 Pre-Imagery (September 2017) Post-Imagery (December 2018) Locations of individual material manually identified in pre- and post- imagery Pyramid Modules Ecosystem (Piling) 6
8 Assessment Methods MB-196 Pre-Imagery (September 2017) Post-Imagery (December 2018) Displacement of material locations assessed in ArcGIS Pyramid Modules Ecosystem (Piling) 7
9 Results Bell Shoals Post-storm Locations Pre-storm Locations Five reef types Secondary use concrete Ecosystem (Piling) Grouper Box w/ Ecosystem Reefball Pyramid XH6WXft.X4W ft. Hft.X5H6ft.ft. 7ft.DDiameter Above Seafloor: Tons Below Seafloor: 15 ft. fiberglass piling 1.5 Tons 8ft. H X 10 W 3 Tons Material deployed distinct artificial patch reefs Pre-storm: 524 individual artificial reefs Post-storm: 500 individual artificial reefs 8
10 Material Assessment Ecosystem with Piling Grouper Box with Ecosystem FWC January 2019 FWC January 2019 No damage or movement No damage or lateral movement Grouper box subsided or buried 9
11 Material Assessment Secondary Use Concrete Gordy s Reef Photo Credit: MBARA June 2010 No damage or movement Material uncovered Bell Shoals Total: Pre-storm: 1,077.5 ft 2 Post-storm: 6,205.4 ft 2 10
12 Material Assessment Reefballs Karl Sinclair Reef Photo Credit: MBARA June 2010 No damage and minimal movement More uncovered than buried Bell Shoals Total: Pre-storm: 70 Reefballs Post-storm: 83 Reefballs 11
13 Material Assessment - Pyramids Only module type displaced Minimal damage observed Majority moved outside patch reef Displaced pyramids toppled 12
14 Material Assessment - Pyramids Most pyramids identical Search for memorial reefs Memorial reef easily identified Unique plaque Embedded object: Sport memorabilia 13
15 Billy Gillen Memorial Reef Deployed April 7, 2015 Identified by Georgia Bulldog and plaque Measured displacement distance: 956 ft (North) Expect similar movement for other pyramids Photo Credit: MBARA 14
16 Where did the Pyramids move? 83% oriented SE-SW 15
17 Pyramid Movement Not all pyramids were displaced 35% remained in patch reef Other material impeded movement Majority of the pyramids moved Mean distance: 803 ft Max confirmed distance: 956 ft Max estimated distance: 2,887 ft (>0.5 miles) 16
18 Crooked Island & Sherman Sites Modules deployed 2016 and 2017 Depth: ft High precision deployment GPS placed upon the crane boom Allows for pre- and post- comparison 17
19 Crooked Island & Sherman Sites 5 patch reefs surveyed 65 modules pre-storm 65 modules post-storm Module Types Super Reef Pyramid FL Limestone Pyramid Grouper Box w/ Ecosystem 5 ft. H X 6 ft. W X 7 D 3.5 Tons ft. H X 19ft. 10 W 19 3 Tons Each module type: No evidence of movement No apparent damage 18
20 Conclusion- Summary Secondary Use, Reefballs, Ecosystem on Pilings and Grouper Boxes remained in same location FL Limestone Pyramids (8 ft) Only moved in shallow water (<25 ft) Has artificial reef function changed? Habitat Relief vs Footprint Different fishing and diving experience Cluster vs Spread Fish assemblage structure Forage Area vs Complexity 19
21 Future Monitoring Prioritize Side Scan: 1. Mid-depth Sites (50-75 ft) Car Body Tower Sites 2. Deeper Sites ( ft) North Site South Site Bridge Span SAARS H LAARS A Continue dive assessments 20
