PROJECT LOCATION(S): The Project will be located in the following locations: a. City of Layton within Monroe County—Lat/Long(24.825901, -80.814207) b. City of Summerland Key within Monroe County—Lat/Long(24.661389, -81.454444) c. Virginia Key within Miami-Dade County—Lat/Long(25.733870,-80.159474) III. PROJECT BACKGROUND: Florida's Coral Reef spans over 350 miles of continuous,diverse,coral reef ecosystems and is a beautiful,national treasure that supports an incredible amount of life in addition to providing jobs,protection, and enjoyment for millions of residents and visitors. In the summer of 2023,Florida's Coral Reef(FCR)experienced an extreme coral bleaching event,that resulted in significant mortality of several different coral species across FCR. In response, evacuation efforts and land-based holding of Endangered Species Act-listed species and stony coral tissue loss disease susceptible species proved to be necessary to preserve genetic diversity for future propagation efforts. This mass movement and temporary holding of corals from in-situ nurseries to ex-situ holding facilities identified a gap in existing infrastructure for emergency response,which slowed our ability to move and hold corals efficiently. Coral bleaching has been occurring more frequently over the past few decades, and some level of bleaching has occurred every year since 2011. In July 2023,NOAA recorded the highest South Florida sea temperatures (35'C/95°F) since in-water measurements started in 1981. In addition,FCR has seen outbreaks of disease,most notably the outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease in 2014 which is now endemic to the entirety of the reef and affects over 23 different stony coral species. Understanding that major disturbance events such as bleaching or disease outbreaks will continue to happen,it is important to have precautions in place to facilitate a rapid response when necessary, including the development of and maintenance of holding facilities specifically designated for emergency response. IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Grantee) will conduct the Monroe County Coral Resilience Project (Project). The overall goal of this Project is to provide infrastructure support for corals in the event that evacuation and holding is necessary. The Grantee will sub-contract Keys Marine Laboratory,Mote Marine Laboratory, and University of Miami to complete the work. This Project fulfills the emergency assistance request of the Florida's Coral Reef Resilience Program (FCRRP) and is consistent with State of Florida Restoration Priorities for Florida's Coral Reef: 2021- 2026 and Florida's Bleaching Response Plan. The outcomes of this Project will be incorporated into the disturbance response efforts which seeks to improve understanding about the scale and severity of the disturbance on Florida's Coral Reef, identify management actions to remediate impacts, restore affected resources, and ultimately propagate thermally and disease tolerant species. As such, collaboration amongst partners is encouraged when appropriate to avoid duplication of efforts and ensure alignment of needs. Coordination with other partners is recommended, as appropriate.

Task 2.1: Supply Acquisition and Build-Out for New Land-Based Raceways Description: The supplies and miscellaneous/other items requested for this emergency coral infrastructure expansion will complement all the above-mentioned coral research and restoration resources and scientific expertise at Mote by adding a 20-raceway coral matrix(approximately 3ft x 3ft x 8ft and 350 gallons each)on the Mote owned TC2R3 property on Summerland Key. This Project will increase coral disturbance holding capacity to maintain basic life support needs, including separate/independent pumps, plumbing, electrical, and alarms required for appropriate coral health to maintain water treatment, flow, filtration, chemistry, temperature, and structure/shade-cloth for managing varying light needs for corals requiring temporary storage during emergency scenarios, such as in-situ water temperature and chemistry stress events,bleaching, disease, and storms. Funding will be used to support the purchase of all supplies and miscellaneous/other needed for buildout. The installation and buildout will be completed by Mote staff(not funded under this agreement). Once raceways become operational,they will continue to be maintained by existing trained/experienced Mote staff. Raceways will be marked with DEP,FCR, and Mote logos and will be prioritized for emergency coral rescue efforts. The use of these systems must be approved/authorized in writing by DEP throughout the duration of this agreement and in coordination with the DEP after agreement termination. Deliverables: The Grantee will submit: DEP Agreement No. 22CPRO1,Attachment 3, Page 6 of 12 Rev. 12.1.2023 a) List of all supplies and equipment purchased and a brief description of how those supplies will be used in construction. b) Photos of area at IC2R3 before buildout of the 20-raceway matrix and associated life support systems. c) Quarterly Project Management Report documenting the progress of construction and milestones completed to date.

Task 3: Infrastructure expansion at the University of Miami Task 3 will expand land-based infrastructure at the University of Miami's (UM) facilities on Virginia Key for the purpose of holding/propagating future rescue corals in anticipation of the need for rapid disturbance response. UM will design, build, and commission the systems, and then use them to maintain and propagate rescued corals as needed. When not in use for rescue corals, UM will utilize these tanks for routine (non-emergency) propagation pipelines with the understanding that they must be available for rescue corals at short notice, as needed. Tn these situations, the use of these tanks will be approved/authorized in writing by DEP throughout the duration of the Project. UM will construct a new—2,500 sq. ft. shade house to accommodate this expansion. The shade house DEP Agreement No. 22CPRO1,Attachment 3, Page 7 of 12 Rev. 12.1.2023 will be installed on an elevated gravel bed with retaining walls and buried plumbing and electrical supply. The shade house is a curved-roof construction(bow house) consisting of 50% shade-cloth and a poly liner to shield from rain. The facility will comprise thirty(30)recirculating aquaculturc systems (RAS) in six (6) independent arrays of five tanks (30 tanks total). Initially, fifteen (15) propagation tanks will be built out in an existing expansion area and fifteen (15)propagation tanks in the new shade house. However, as the facility continues to expand, we will eventually consolidate all thirty disturbance response tanks into the new shade house that will be dedicated for this use. Each 115-gal tank is approx. 8'x3'xl' in dimensions,with a growable area of—25 sq. ft. (750 sq. ft. in total). Each 5-tank array is connected to a 185-gallon sump connected to a 3 hp heater/chiller unit, and each sump incorporates an internal protein skimmer. Pumps continually circulate water through each 5-tank array and temperatures are maintained to within 1 oF. Volume of each 5-tank system totals—760 gallons, including plumbing, tanks, and sump. All equipment and assets purchased for and used in the construction and buildout of this new system will become the property of the University of Miami. Seawater will be replaced in each system on a weekly basis (-200 gal/week per 5-tank array, approx. 20%). Seawater is sourced locally from Bear Cut, passes through settlement tanks, sand filters, and a UV sterilizer and will be ozonated and degassed prior to being used as replacement water in coral tanks. The recirculation loop on each 5-tank system will also include an in-line UV unit to ensure continued sterilization on an ongoing basis. Task 3.1: Purchase and Install First 15 Tanks and Associated Life Support Description: Three arrays of 5 tanks each (15 tanks total)will be installed in an expansion area in our existing shade house. Installation and buildout will be completed by UM staff, assisted by the same sub-contractor(Full Spectrum Aquaculture) who installed the existing tank arrays in the shade house. Once construction is completed, tanks are allowed to condition for two weeks to allow residues/PVC glues to dissipate, and to test temperature control and water quality. After this period, corals are introduced to the tanks, where they will be maintained by UM staff. Raceways will be marked with DEP,FCR,and UM logos(at minimum)and will be prioritized for emergency coral rescue efforts.The use of these systems for non-emergency use must be approved/authorized in writing by DEP throughout the duration of the Project. Deliverables: The Grantee will submit: a) List of all supplies and equipment purchased and a brief description of how those supplies will be used in the buildout(provided quarterly). b) Quarterly Project Management Report documenting the progress of installation and milestones completed to date.Report shall include 1-3 photos documenting the progress of installation.Report may be provided as part of the Exhibit A Progress Report. c) Representative photos (5-10) of area after buildout showing the three 5-tank arrays and associated life support systems and signage/logos detailed above. d) Social Media post after completion of the three 5-tank arrays that acknowledges the funding assistance provided by DEP's Office of Resilience and Coastal Protection and partnership with the Grantee. Task 3.2: Site Preparation, Construction of Shade house, and Installation of Second 15 Tanks and Associated Life Support Description:UM will undertake site preparations and installation of a new shade house at an expansion site adjacent to UM/Experimental Hatchery.This shade house will accommodate the second set of three DEP Agreement No. 22CPR01,Attachment 3, Page 8 of 12 Rev. 12.1.2023 5-tank arrays. Site preparation, electrical/plumbing hookups, and shade house installation will all be undertaken by contractors/suppliers/vendors. Installation and buildout of tanks and life support will be completed by UM staff assisted by the same contractor(Full Spectrum Aquaculture) who installed all existing tank arrays. All equipment and assets purchased for and used in the construction and buildout of this new system will become the property of the University of Miami. Once raceways become operational, they will be maintained by UM staff. Raceways will be marked with DEP, FCR, and UM logos(at minimum)and will be prioritized for emergency coral rescue efforts. The use of these systems must be approved/authorized in writing by DEP throughout the duration of the Project. Deliverables: The Grantee will submit: a) Map of site and planned construction area/designs. b) Copies of any permits for construction and buildout, if any required c) List of all supplies and equipment purchased and a brief description of how those supplies will be used(provided quarterly) d) Quarterly Project Management Report documenting the progress of construction and milestones completed to date including site prep, plumbing, system buildout, shade house construction, and electrical.

Task 3.3: System Operations and Maintenance Description: UM will incorporate the newly constructed DEP Coral Response Seawater Systems into the operations and maintenance of its existing coral facility to ensure life support for corals and associated organisms. Current protocols at the University of Miami's facility include the following: Husbandry Protocols • Husbandry lists are completed daily with such activities as feeding, health examinations, water parameter monitoring, equipment checks, maintenance, isolation and treatment of new arrivals as well as various other essential tasks logged in a database. Open-up, daily and close-up activities are conducted, logged, and initialed to establish a record and degree of accountability. • All equipment is inspected upon arrival, and when leaving the facility at the end of the day. All aquarium systems are monitored 24/7/365 via temperature sensors. Should the temperature rise or fall outside of the designated range for that system, alerts are sent out via email and text message to a list of accountable staff members responsible for responding to, assessing, and addressing the alerts accordingly. • Aquariums and raceways are cleaned on a weekly basis.Native invertebrates such as snails,hermit crabs, and sea urchins are also used to aid in the reduction of nuisance algae growth. The platforms and plugs/tiles that coral fragments and colonies are held on arc cleaned twice weekly to remove algae, filter feeding pests, and other items that accrue over time. Routine Health Assessment • A census of the different coral size classes is conducted daily, with any additional asexual fragmentation conducted and added to a running inventory list. A full inventory log is conducted quarterly to confirm these quantities. DEP Agreement No. 22CPRO1,Attachment 3, Page 9 of 12 Rev. 12.1.2023 • Coral condition is monitored routinely, with practitioners performing health checks as part of the daily husbandry list. Observations include coral coloration, polyp extension (or lack of), new growth, signs of stress, and other factors. This assessment typically occurs multiple times per day by multiple staff members to ensure that all corals are inspected by multiple observers. • In cases of mortality, a loss of life analysis is conducted. This analysis consists of a full examination of the conditions surrounding the mortality. Factors of note include: observing corals sharing the same aquarium/water system, checking husbandry logs for irregularities, testing of water parameters for anything outside of acceptable range, etc. Any mortality is logged to identify any patterns of loss and update inventory,recording the species,genotype,and tank in which it was being held, as well as any supplemental information available for that individual. Water Quality Analyses • Daily: - Alkalinity, salinity, and temperature are monitored daily for each aquarium system. Salinity and temperature are measured using electronic HANNA probes that are calibrated monthly. Alkalinity is recorded via Red Sea alkalinity test kits. Target ranges for these parameters are as follows: Alkalinity 7-9 dKH, Temperature 74-85°F(adjusted seasonally), Salinity 1.024-1.027 relative specific gravity(32-36 ppt). - Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP)of ozonated supply water is observed at the start and end of day. The ozonation filtration system is equipped with automatic shutoff measures to safeguard against the dangers of straying above or below the required levels. After ozonation, incoming seawater passes through a carbon filter, and UV sterilizer to further ensure removal of any potentially hazardous ozone remaining in the water. Target range for ORP is 350-375 mV. • Weekly: - Ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,pH,phosphate,magnesium,calcium,and alkalinity are measured and recorded weekly for each system. Aquarium-grade kits are currently used for the testing of these parameters (APT Saltwater Master Test Kit, Red Sea Foundation Pro Test Kit, HANNA Digital Phosphate Colorimeter). The equipment for this water quality monitoring is scheduled to be upgraded to spectrophotometric water sampling device to be kept on-site. - Target ranges for these parameters are as follows: Ammonia < 0.1 ppm, Nitrite < 0.1 ppm, Nitrate 0-5 ppm,pH 8.0-8.4, Phosphate<0.1 ppm(ideal range 0-0.03 ppm), Calcium 400-450 ppm,Magnesium 1200-1400 ppm,Alkalinity 7-9 dKH. • Monthly: - Water samples taken from each aquarium system are mailed out to an independent, off-site water quality laboratory (TCP Analysis). Reports consisting of the quantitative analysis of 56 different elements are received and compiled for detailed analysis of all aspects of mineral water quality. Incoming seawater and aquarium water are also routinely transported to an adjacent laboratory at the University of Miami's marine campus for analysis of bacterial content. We primarily monitor these minor parameters to assess changes in our incoming seawater supply that might affect or explain variation in the weekly parameters listed above. For this reason, we do not generally have a target range for these additional monthly parameters. Propagation and Transfer DEP Agreement No. 22CPR01,Attachment 3, Page 10 of 12 Rev. 12.1.2023 • Microfragmentation occurs when parent colonies and existing fragments have overgrown their substrate. Parental/genotype information is recorded on the plug of each fragment. Approximately 50-100 new fragments are produced weekly for research or outplanting purposes. • All transfer events are communicated between participating organizations with advanced planning and coordination with a licensed veterinary technician. Any corals arriving/departing from/to other coral facilities must have an inspection prior to transport. Proper documentation consisting of species, genotype, quantity, original collection point, and destination information is provided by/to the transferring and receiving facilities. • Any corals leaving the facility to be outplanted on nurseries or reefs require an additional veterinary inspection if they have been held on site for more than 30 days before they are permitted to leave the facility.
