Potential_Target_Coordinates.xls

This file contains a spreadsheet of potential target coordinates for the Artificial Reef Construction, Transportation, and Deployment project (AR2609 NRDA EscaRosa) managed by Escambia County, Florida. The spreadsheet lists 144 data points with precise longitude and latitude coordinates in degrees, minutes, and seconds format, positioned within the Escambia Nearshore East Artificial Reef Site located approximately 5 nautical miles southeast of Pensacola Pass in the Gulf of Mexico at water depths of 45-65 feet. The coordinates define the deployment zone for approximately 25 Patch Reef modules that will be spaced approximately 500 feet apart within a 2 square nautical mile permitted site. The reference area center coordinates are 30°17.600'N; 087°13.700'W, and the data points provided represent the potential grid locations where reef modules may be positioned. The final number of modules, specific coordinates, and design specifications will be determined by Escambia County upon receipt of module pricing from the selected contractor. Contractors selected for this project must demonstrate the capability to precisely deploy modules at the designated coordinates, with all placements subject to inspection within 1-3 weeks after deployment. The project is scheduled for construction in March 2026 with completion by May 1, 2026, and all modules must conform to minimum specifications and state and federal permit conditions. The total project funding is $450,000 through the Florida Artificial Reef Program as part of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment Phase III Early Restoration Plan related to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
