Fisher, Monroe County Extension Service Director and Boating Improvement Fund Liaison in coopsration with the NATURAL REEF STUDY GROUP - REEF RELIEF Exhibit xB" ' February 1967 , � INTRODUCTION [here is no doubt that� anchoring iD the coral by vessels vjniting the reef is causing a broadbased deterioration of our long natural reef� tract. i The deterioration is corroborated by numerous dive shop a wners, boat captains, sport divers, enrivonmentaI agencies inC toe federal sanctuary staff at both Looe Key and Key Largo �.Hcuel Marine Sanctuary. In fact, both of the national mbrine sanctuary areas have instituted a boat mooring program ,or roof protection. ' ` | �While declining water qu4lity and natural catastrophes . .' ` "such as hurricanes) can bear some of the blame, it is widely � hold by all who use the reef that their own practice, i.e. � | h i � �rc or ng i n the coral, is a major factor in the deteri'ration om our reefs. The simple facts are that: a> the Keys reef system is � North America's only such Pesource, b> the majority of visitors to the Keys come at least in part for a "water" experience (fishing, snorkeling` diving, sailing), c> the fucus of these experiences is the reef and, d) the visitors � rerresent the most importaht industry in the Keys. In aidition the fundamental ecological questions of environmental healnh are obvious. Thus economically and ecologically, the r�=f system is Monroe County's single greatest resource. � ThEr u __ both _:t,. wl�l ?'o.CC,p_iY e f1G<":r i.i;` ?nG rL" Y f_'i:l ;g a.

Western Dry; Rocks `, E Pelican c Total brj systems would be built according to the work of John i Halasq the designer of the moorings used in the National Marine Sanctuaries. It is hoped that the fundings would be obtained from the -.cajting Improvement. Fund, and the, project :is contingent upon that source_ at this time. It is not the intentio n of +_hic; proposal to request County tax dollars for t t fir_? ��i_�n_,tr" ir.r i pr} phase. However, it is e=Stimatod that approximately would be needed annually to maintain the moorings. An integr-aa part OV the permit process � is to account•t for the mri ntenance. .. i The most acceptable source of maintenance would be to get �1 A� �e commitment from a local reef interest group, i.e. Reef and through a contractual arrangement with the County, �1pis organization would be responsible for the financial rdems of buoy maintenance. A letter of intent from Reef , eliefv a non-profit corporation, is enclosed. | � ^. It has been estimated that each mooring costs $500-$1,000 ^ � 0! construct and place. A maximum cost would therefore be 60 Wzrings x $1,000 = $60,000... A more realistic figure would be ^ � . �PrWimately $45,000. � Thisilould come from the Boating i 10rrvement Fund and continuation of the project would be i rased upon approval from DNR �for Fund use. . ! 1 ./ In addition to the actual moorings, an educational {/ � ochure would be written and distributed to all dive shops, |k ^ tels, and marinas along wi h media news releases The ~ | �rochure would give locations of the moorings, information on how to use them, and some scientific information on the nature �f reefs and their fragility. At present, the funding for the hrochure is proposed to come from existing Extension —Service � �udget and money raised in toe private sector by Reef Relief. ' / , Additional educational events would be planned and . ` � , c''nducted by the Extension Service in cooperation with Reef possibly Relief and the Natural Reef Study Group a ibl n y the Ccnter for Environmental Education. ^� �^ Follow-up would involve a photographic survey and a � I nuastionnaire to select users on mooring function and reef | i \.aa;th. i , � -` 4. � SPECIFICATIONS COUNY OF MONROE KEY WEST, FLORIDA SPECIFICATTON�_FOR_lNSTALLATION_OF_BOAT_MOORINGS� MONROE-COUNTY�_-FLORIDA `.�Sealed bids will be received by the Board of County ,Commissioners, Monroe Counry, Key West, Florida 1117 bids will be opened at a Teeting betweeen the County !

The mooring buoys in use at LKNMS are a unique design evolved over the last sr,veral years by the sanctuary biologist, John Halas (KLNMS), which eneorpomany 1.111-Lovative features- A 15' x 3/4" yellow uv--treated Polyyline is rate used for tile pick-up line. This line has an eye spliced into each end, and a 24" cectior, of garden hose placed near the Pick -tip end. The garden hose acts as a chafe guard when boaters attach the pick-up line directly to their vessels. The saliced eye in the buoy end of the pick-up line is large enough so that the line can be attached or replaced without using tools. The buoy is a round white plastic buoy, 18 inches in diameter, made Of uv stabilized Plastic. A 3/4" di- zm,,eter PVC pipe runs through the center of the buoy. The drop line to the anchor Passes completely through the buoy where it is attached by interlocking loops to the Pich.-up line. A small piece of lead sheeting is ar several feet below the surface to prevent the line fromwrappefload tinound the drop Sineo. An eye is spliced into the lower end of the drop line with a section Of 0 I garden hose to pre- ,c,llt chafe. A stainless steel shackle attaches the drop line to the anchor T, 'he anchor pin is an 18" stainless steelP rod with a ring' welded to the upper end Pnd a cross bar welded to the lower end. A hole is bored in the hard substrate :,Y-ith -a hydraulic coring auger. The hole is deep enough that the lower end of the !-Ing is below the lip of the hole ;,7hen the cross bar bottoms out on the bottom of the hole. This prevents side loads from developing on tile anchor pin. The hole ic packed with a mixture of cement and plaster to permanently hold the anchor pin. �1 ,.Mork, oF 10-(Al- OF p I IF- viu;- huoyF- bell-wcen a n cil buoys betueen and 3 tuoys between bucys be'-ueen ht,oye betwe�ir. iand 1 buoys between 2 buoys between 10*-K KEY buoys between arld 3 buoys between 0- n d 4 buoys between-, a n d EAS"ERN_DRY Ro-xS bul)ys between and 3 buoys between and 4 buoys between WESTERN -DRY ROCXS 3 buoyc ",-etween and 2 bucys arca PELICAN 5 buoys between ti: rld 240 27 101111 24c) 2'(' 10 11 111 24o 2? 10 " H 24o 271 l�llfl 210 271 06"N 24o 271 07"N 24o 271 ll,)N 310 52' 4711W 52' 4411W 81c 521 -1 W 810 5--' 4511W blo 52' 3611W Blo 521 n,311W Blo S2P 3211W 24o 281 49"N Slo 431 12.511W 24o 281 15-31,41.
