AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a grant application to DEP as part of their Resilience
Planning Grant program to develop a Natural Resources Adaptation Plan, requesting $75,000 in
grant funds and offering $67,000 in budgeted match funds, totaling $142,000 in project costs,
approval to be retroactive to the grant submittal date of October 9, 2020.
ITEM BACKGROUND: This item is to approve a grant application to DEP, which if awarded,
would develop a Natural Resources Adaptation Plan with cost benefit analysis. This analysis furthers
the work of the County's Sustainability and Climate Plan ongoing under the GreenKeys plan which
sets forth recommendations to plan appropriate uses and adaptation measures for areas.
Current work is being conducted in Monroe County to update the vulnerability assessment originally
conducted in 2015. This Natural Resources Adaptation Plan would use the outputs from this
vulnerability assessment to identify actions addressing the natural resource vulnerabilities found.
The underlying data for natural resource impacts will be generated currently, but more planning
work will be necessary to determine actual adaptation actions for natural resource impacts.
Specifically, coordination with Federal and State partners on species management issues will be a
part of developing the Adaptation Plan.
Background:
The southeast Florida region, including Monroe County, has long been recognized as area that has
vulnerabilities to climate-related hazards. With the development of the GreenKeys planning process
in 2013-2015 and updated vulnerability assessment (currently in process), the County will have a
better understanding of what those vulnerabilities are specifically related to sea level rise based on
the most recent (2019) projections of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact. Coastal
resources that provide an important first line of defense continue to be lost or reduced in size, thus
further exposing people and property to coastal hazards. Interest is growing in the protective role
that coastal nature-based measures or projects (or green infrastructure), such as reefs and wetlands,
can play in adapting to these risks.
However, a lack of quantitative information on relative costs and benefits is one principal factor

Q.7
limiting their use more broadly. We do know that when nature-based measures are implemented in
areas with higher asset value and at greater risk, their cost effectiveness increases significantly.
Nature-based adaptation strategies are emerging as a cost-effective option to reduce the impacts of
storm surge and waves and they use natural features of ecosystems for coastal protection (e.g.,
wetland restoration). A growing body of knowledge and experience supports their effectiveness for
coastal defense. Coastal ecosystems like coral reefs, oyster reefs, mangroves and salt marshes protect
the coast by reducing wave energy, trapping sediments, and attenuating storm surge. Nature-based
measures also offer a dynamic solution to challenges such as sea level rise, because ecosystems may
adapt to, and grow with, their changing environment. That said, it is possible to build a quantitative
economic case for adaptation measures focused on nature-based solutions and at scales relevant for
planning. Conservation outcomes are principally achieved through the protection of intact habitat or
the restoration of degraded habitat. In general, restoration is generally considered a lower priority
action than protection, but recent research shows that both are crucial components of an adaptation
strategy to optimize biodiversity or ecosystem services, and in some circumstances, restoration
should be preferred.
Precipitation-based impacts will be assessed over the next year in a partnership between the South
Florida Water Management District and U.S. Geological Survey (covering all 16 counties within the
South Florida Water Management District). This data could be incorporated into the Adaptation Plan
if the information becomes available for the Monroe County area during the period of this grant.
The County has not had the opportunity to complete a Natural Resource Adaptation Plan and given
the environmental sensitivity of areas throughout Monroe County, this could be a key element of the
County's resiliency strategy. With the completion of an updated vulnerability analysis, this project is
essential to allow the County to start developing an effort solely focused on its natural resource
attributes. This project will provide real-world examples of what this type of implementation will
mean on an individual project level.
While nature-based solutions are gaining momentum as an adaptation strategy, the lack of explicit
quantification of its cost and effectiveness is inhibiting widespread application. Now that the County
will have updated its vulnerability information about assets, infrastructure and general inundation
from sea level rise, and natural resources through the use of SLAMM, the next phase of its planning
process must focus on real natural resource adaptation actions. A cost- benefit methodology and
analysis will 1) identify specific actions, and 2) provide an understanding of what those actions will
cost to better inform the County, state and federal partners of what natural resource adaptation
strategies will look like.

Project Description O
Monroe County has benefitted from prior state grant assistance(RPG#R1915)and(RPG#R2111)adopting sea level rise projections and applying those
projections to county-specific data such as generalized inundation,critical facilities,stormwater,transportation,water and wastewater assets and providing
the County a clear assessment of its vulnerability to sea level rise.That vulnerability assessment is currently being updated with RPG#2111 and that
assessment includes running the Sea Level Affecting Marsh Model(SLAMM)to determine natural resource impacts.This proposed project further builds on
these efforts by leveraging resources(both expertise and funding)in combination with County staff,other agencies and subject matter experts,to continue N
O
this effort.The County will develop a Natural Resources Adaptation Plan(Project Type 3)and address Annual Priority#3 that will explore carbon 2-
sequestration benefits,land management strategies,specific areas of shoreline impacts,seagrass and/or other marine resource impacts,species issues and
cost benefit analysis of natural resource actions to address vulnerabilities found in the assessment update.This data will add to the CountyaET S previous ug
vulnerability work by creating an actual Adaptation Plan for natural resources with actions within the County.Given the myriad of land ownership in the Keys O
by public entities and protected habitat,this is a critical step for the County to build its resiliency response. IX
r
At least two public meetings providing information on the project and encouraging dialog with the community will be conducted.These meetings will occur
during the project to promote involvement regarding the CountyaET s next steps towards becoming a more resilient community focusing on the vulnerability
of its natural resources.Information will be made available through the County website and live and/or web-based meeting platforms.The County will fulfill
,
the tasks through a combination of in-kind services provided by County staff and contracted services.

B. Explain how the proposed project fits into one or more of the Project Types.
This scope of work addresses Project Type 3:Adaptation Plans or Resilience Plans,which use outputs,such as the Monroe County updated Vulnerability
Assessment,to identify actions addressing the vulnerabilities found in the natural resource area.A deeper dive into the vulnerability data will pinpoint specific
projects that could be implemented and the cost benefit of them to the County as a whole.An Adaptation Plan in the a€ceProject Types and Annual
Prioritiesa€❑for the RPGs states that adaptation plans use the outputs from a vulnerability assessment to identify potential actions to address the
vulnerabilities found.By combining this Project Type with Annual Goal 3(natural resource vulnerability),this scope of work specifically creates a Natural N
Resource Adaptation Plan.This is a critical next step towards adaptation planning for Monroe County with project-level response and analysis for natural 2-
resources.
(n
Resiliency planning has become a critical component of how Monroe County conducts business today.This elevated discussion has already improved lines 0)
of communication and information transfer necessary for efficient resiliency planning.But not only does this scope of work clearly implement Project Type 3& IX
Annual Priority 3,the proposed project fulfills a need for the next step in adaptation planning for Monroe County-focusing on natural resources.
Recommendations from the GreenKeys Plan that could be entirely or partially implemented based on this scope of work and Project Type 3/Annual Goal 3
include: cu
,
aEo 2-10:Cooperate with the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service,FWC,and conservation organizations to monitor populations of endangered species,track
habitat trends,and,as necessary,implement relocation experiments under conditions of drastic habitat loss for endangered species due to sea level rise.
aEo 2-38:Identify intact corridors for future tidal wetland migration corridors as a potential criterion for future land purchase and flood mitigation initiatives
within Monroe County.For example,land acquisition priorities.
aEo 3-16:Conduct an analysis of where maintaining living shorelines would be beneficial.Identify and map natural inundation buffers which could also
provide sea level rise adaptation benefits.
aEo 3-18:Identify areas for habitat maintenance where the removal of exotics could serve as a natural or a€cesoft protection optiona€❑and inundation CL
buffering opportunities. u
aEo 3-19:Calibrate the Sea Level Affecting Marshes(a€ceSLAMMa€o)Model results with historic land cover change and field observations and coordinate
with land acquisitions. �
aEo 3-23:Specify priority areas where shoreline protection structures should be removed and continue discouraging the use of hard protection unless no 0)
other feasible alternative is available.
aEo 3-24:Increase efforts to protect and maintain natural habitats,especially a€cecore areasa€o with the best chances of persistence during sea level rise, CL
including marine ecosystem mitigation as possible overlay component and offering incentives for protection of natural resources.This will facilitate
development of a land acquisition strategy based on sea level rise impacts.
aEo 3-25:Incentivize a€cesoft optionsa€o like living shorelines and mangrove restoration as an alternative to traditional bulkheads for near-term stabilization CD
of eroding coastal areas and long-term marine ecosystem migration.Require detailed evaluation of soft options in an alternatives analysis and require the
use of soft protection where feasible.Incorporate sea level rise and storm surge into the siting and design of any soft protection projects.
Monroe County continues to demonstrate leadership in vulnerability assessments,updating them and analyzing actual adaptation actions.This scope of work
CL
provides the next chapter in those efforts,and in an area as environmentally sensitive as Monroe County,its clear a more defined approach to incorporating N
natural resource elements into the CountyaET s resiliency response is clearly needed. U
C. Discuss how the project is feasible and can be completed by the grant period deadline.
Count staff is prepared to move forward with this Natural Resource Adaptation Plan upon contract execution and will begin preparatory work upon notice of
Y p p p p 9 p p Y p
pending award.The consultant selection process will be initiated upon notice of pending award so that a team is under contract and ready to proceed when
the funds are available.The County has demonstrated previous success in finalizing other RPG awards with needed capacity and on budget.
The project also builds on data and analysis previously developed over years of work by the County so there is efficiency in its execution.After its first
Vulnerability Assessment from 2013-2015,the County has developed improved data and resources available to conduct future analyses.In particular, ,
elevation data has been a significant financial and time commitment on the part of the County to generate.The County ran a natural resources analysis using
SLAM in that first vulnerability assessment,but SLAM has been updated and now provides output related to carbon sequestration benefits and
seagrasses.While the County is running those overall updated vulnerability assessments now,there is not a singly focused planning effort to develop
adaptation actions related to natural resources.Therefore,the underlying data and vulnerability assessment to support a Natural Resources Adaptation Plan
will be completed by this year.The only other data collection or analysis would be related to anything thataET s new for use at the beginning of this grant
period,other stakeholder data that was not available at the time and some additional mapping to scale for further development of adaptation actions in the
Plan.Finally,the cost-benefit attributes would have to developed in concert with the actions proposed in the Plan.The County is very confident this Natural CV
Resources Adaptation Plan can be developed by the grant period deadline. Q

D. Explain how this project addresses one or more of the Annual Priorities found in the Project Types and Annual O
Priorities document. (RPG)
This scope of work addresses Annual Priority#3(natural resource vulnerability)to develop an Adaptation Plan for natural resource impacts throughout the
County(Project Type#1).This will specifically address existing GreenKeys recommendations(already identified previously)to move beyond infrastructure
and asset analysis to determine how natural resources may shift or be impacted by sea level rise in the future.Maps will be utilized or developed at a smaller
scale to better understand actual impacts and strategies to address them.A cost-benefit analysis will be conducted focused on natural resource protections N
and may address carbon sequestration benefits produced as a consequence of the updated SLAM modeling currently being conducted.Nature-based U
adaptation actions can also offer other environmental and ecosystems benefits beyond coastal protection that would further increase their benefit to cost O
ratio.For example,restored ecosystems can provide important tourism and recreational benefits,including recreation and fishing that may also play a vital O
role in identifying and prioritizing restoration and conservation priorities from a socio-economic perspective.Hence,it is important to manage coastal O
ecosystems to reduce stressors so they can be healthy and more resilient to sea level rise and climate change to provide both risk reduction and
environmental benefits.Adaptation action such as wetland accretion can help building land with a rising sea and healthy oyster reefs have also been shown ru
to be able to keep up with sea level rise.The next step in a cost-benefit analysis will be to identify the options and alternatives to be quantified which could O
include elements such as the value of public access to recreational and conservation lands,amenity values such as ecological protection or recreational use. cu
This analysis may also stimulate a rethinking of the places where restoration projects are prioritized.
The County has specifically structured this scope of work such that more complete and updated data can be incorporated into the existing vulnerability work,
but based on that more extensive portrayal of vulnerability risks to natural resources,to support funding strategies and other Resiliency program
implementation.Again,being an areas of Critical State Concern,a natural resource-based Adaptation Plan(Annual Priority#3)is a critical need for Monroe ¢
O
County.

Future Recommendations&Estimated Costs O
N
Future recommendations would include design-specific cost estimates for each of the adaptation actions generated in the Natural Resource Adaptation Plan. O
This proposed project likely does not include enough time or budget to develop precise design-level cost estimates for the adaptation actions,but based on
case study research and anecdotal data related to other natural resource projects in the Keys which have already been carried out,cost estimates will be
sufficient enough to undertake cost benefit analysis.Costs for such detailed design are likely to be phased over time as projects become necessary to O
implement,so it is difficult to project a cumulative cost for all of the natural resource adaptation options explored.Per project,this would be estimates for
design and permitting to be$75,000.
