About this file

This document is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Department of the Army Permit for Brevard County, Florida, authorizing the continued use of an artificial reef site in the Atlantic Ocean. The permit (SAJ-1993-00620) allows Brevard County to deploy various artificial reef materials within a 3,085-acre site located approximately 15.5 nautical miles east of Port Canaveral. The permit is valid until April 30, 2032, with the county anticipating one or two deployments annually, totaling approximately 15 deployments over the next decade. Authorized materials include prefabricated reef modules, concrete structures, natural rock boulders, steel vessels over 60 feet long, and other clean, durable materials weighing at least 500 pounds.

The project aims to increase marine habitat for recreational and commercial fish species, including snapper, grouper, black sea bass, and wreckfish, with potential economic benefits for local businesses. The reef site was selected for its sandy bottom and lack of hard features, with depths ranging from 76.3 to 88.4 feet. Brevard County will conduct monitoring through photo-documentation and fish surveys, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. The county must follow strict deployment guidelines, including maintaining a 200-foot buffer from existing marine features, avoiding deployment during right whale conservation periods, and obtaining necessary inspections and clearances for all materials.

BREVARD COUNTY ARTIFICIAL REEF SITE 2

(a.k.a. Louis Dubois Artificial Reef Site)

Project Purpose: Brevard County is pursuing reauthorization of Brevard County Artificial Reef

Site 2 based on linked ecological, recreational and economic objectives. By developing a well managed artificial reef site, the County seeks to increase viable habitat for key recreational and commercial fish species along Florida’s Central Atlantic coast. Key fisheries (species) include but are not limited to snapper, grouper, black sea bass, and wreckfish. It has been shown that well managed artificial reef sites can be a driving factor for recreational and commercial fishing and diving in the associated coastal regions. An increase in recreational and commercial use relates directly to an increase in expenditures at regional waterfront business such as bait shops, fishing and diving charters/businesses, and boat sales locations, thus motivating the economy of the associated shoreline community and the region (Florida Sea Grant TP-178, 2011).

Site Description: Located approximately 15.5 nautical miles due east out of Port Canaveral.

This is a previously permitted artificial reef site and is currently plotted on NOAA Chart 11476, Cape Canaveral to Bethel Shoal. Site depth ranges from a minimum of 76.3 ft MLLW at the NW corner to a maximum of 88.4 ft MLLW at the SE corner.

This 3085-acre site was selected due to its lack of hard bottom features and its expanse of open sandy bottom. The area was initially selected and surveyed at 28 bottom locations by the

Kennedy Space Center Barracuda Dive Club in 1987. A detailed side-scan sonar hydrographic survey of the site was conducted by Applied Technology & Management, Inc. for Brevard

County in April 2011. Additional in-field bottom surveys to assess conditions at the project site were conducted by Brevard County on 26 occasions between 2007 and 2021. The sites sandy bottom is mostly uninhabited, with the exception of scattered starfish, sea urchins, and calico scallops.

Material Deployment: Material deployments are not expected to have any negative impacts.

All materials deployed shall avoid those areas previously identified as ledges, contact points, clusters, deployed materials and existing shipwrecks. All newly deployed materials shall be placed a minimum of 200 ft from existing bottom features. The presence and stability of a variety of previously deployed artificial reef materials indicates stable bottom type for future artificial reef placement and stability during extreme storm events. The incidental disturbance of any existing bottom features will be offset by the net positive impact related to the habitat created by materials deployed.

The overall pattern of materials deployed on the reef site will be dependent upon the type and size of materials available for deployment. Brevard County will work closely with the Florida

Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to determine the best location for the materials available at each deployment. To ensure that all deployments are maintained within the project site, all materials shall be placed a minimum of 500 feet from the perimeter of the site. The

County anticipates one or two deployments each year, with approximately fifteen deployments expected over the next ten years.

Brevard Reef Site 2 Page 2

In order to confirm bottom conditions, the County shall make reconnaissance dives at deployment sites prior to the placement of any materials. Prior to the deployment of any artificial reef materials, completed materials manifest and pre-deployment notification forms shall be submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers, Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission and/or the U.S. Coast Guard, as required. Materials will be transported to the site by barge or tow vessel. To avoid manatee entrapment, if more than one barge is used for a deployment, fenders will be utilized to maintain separation between barges.

Brevard County will employ required precautionary measures and comply with all threatened or endangered species requirements related to manatee, sea turtles and whales. No reef materials shall be transported or deployed between November 15 and April 14 for the conservation of the

Northern Right Whale.

All deployed materials shall maintain a minimum clearance of 50 ft from the surface.

Typical Site Diagram – (not to scale)

Height of reef material will be 50 feet minimum from surface.

Proposed Material: Material deployed to the reef site will be durable and stable in a 20 year return storm event at the site depths. Materials to be deployed may include:

• Prefabricated artificial reef modules composed of ferrous and/or aluminum-alloy metals ¼ inch or more in thickness, concrete, rock or a combination of these materials.

• Natural rock boulders and other pre-cast concrete material, such as, culverts, stormwater junction boxes, power poles, railroad ties, jersey barriers, or other similar concrete material.

• Large concrete building demolition materials, such as bridges, with all steel reinforced rods severed to ensure the rods will not create a fishing tackle or diver ensnaring hazard.

• Heavy gauge ferrous & aluminum alloy metal material components of structures, ¼ inch or more in thickness, such as utility poles and antenna towers.

The above materials will weigh in excess of 500 pounds and be clean and free from asphalt, creosote, petroleum, other hydrocarbons and toxic residues, and loose of free floating

• Heavy gauge ferrous & aluminum alloy metal hulled vessels which equal or exceed 60 ft hull length prepared and deployed in accordance with all applicable U.S. Coast Guard, USEPA, Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, or other applicable state or federal agency regulations or policies. The vessel will not be deployed until all necessary inspections or clearances have been obtained or waived and a stability analysis has been completed.

Monitoring: Reef monitoring will be conducted by the Brevard County Natural Resources

Management Office. Monitoring shall take place during suitable weather and consist of photo-documentation of the reef site. Photography will be used to relate reef age and colonization rates.

Pelagic fish surveys will also be conducted. At the minimum, monitoring will take place during the Fall and Spring.
