Evaluation of Artificial Reef Performance Sample Clauses

Evaluation of Artificial Reef Performance. The evaluation of artificial reef goals will be an important component of determining the benefits of NS Mayport Project XL. Two types of goals will be evaluated separately. First, the social benefits of the artificial reefs will be evaluated through the solicitation of satisfaction surveys from local recreational users. Second, effective evaluation of basic environmental performance of the artificial reefs will be possible by the monitoring of several variables, including; - structural integrity, - habitat function of the artificial reef structure, - occupation by adult fishes, - recruitment, survival and growth of juvenile fishes, - benthic community development (diversity and abundance), - forage base (trophic transfer to fishes) provided by the artificial reef (benthic colonizers) and surrounding areas, and - habitat function of comparable reference habitats (e.g., local natural reefs, soft bottom, etc.). The extent of this environmental performance monitoring, which will be constrained by resources, and a phased evaluation strategy will be specified in the NS Mayport Artificial Reef Work Plan. Local community and environmental organizations and volunteers (e.g., Jacksonville Reef Research Team) may greatly facilitate and enhance the degree of evaluation possible. For example, the Jacksonville Reef Research Team currently evaluates artificial reefs at Jacksonville permitted sites. Additionally, the National Marine Fisheries Service has participated on the team developing this agreement and will continue to participate and guide the team on matters pertaining to artificial reefs.
