Spiegel Grove
Monitoring Project
04/07/0310:35 AM
Spiegel Grove
Monitoring Project
Summary
Monroe County has arranged with the Reef Environmental Education Foundation
(REEF) to conduct pre-deployment and periodic monitoring of the Spiegel Grove
and adjacent natural and artificial reef sites. Monitoring will document fish
presence/absence and relative abundance at eight (8) sites during six (6)
monitoring events in year one and then annually thereafter for four additional
years. Summary reports will be provided following year one data analysis and at
the end of year five. This document outlines the monitoring project to be carried
out by REEF.
Bac~round
The Spiegel Grove is a 510' LSD which has been placed as an artificial reef
structure in the waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. When
submerged, the vessel became the largest ship ever intentionally scuttled to create
an artificial reef. The site is located at position 25 04.000' / 80 18.650' and lies
offshore of the main reef tract between Molasses Reef and Elbow Reef in Key
Largo. Pursuant to the approval of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, a
plan for pre-deployment and periodic monitoring must be in place.
The Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF), is a 501 c (3) non-profit
organization focusing on the collection of fish diversity and abundance data by
utilizing volunteer divers trained in visual identification of local species. REEF's
programs are in place throughout the Tropical Western Atlantic, Coastal North
America, the Gulf of California, and Hawaiian waters. REEF's database
containing over 54,000 individual fish surveys is the largest database of fish
sightings in the world. REEF maintains numerous contracts with State of Florida,
National Park Service, National Marine Sanctuary and Coastal Zone Management
agencies to monitor fish populations in Sanctuaries, Parks, artificial reefs and
other sites of interest to management and scientific concerns. Data collected
during these contracts are entered into REEF's on-line database and summary
reports are made available to the general public as well as researchers, scientists
and managers.
Purpose
It is anticipated that with the sinking of the Spiegel Grove, a change in fish
community structure on the sinking site will take place. This monitoring project
04/07/03 10:35 AM
will document the changes in fish presence/absence and abundance over time at
the site. In addition, seven (7) nearby reef sites will be sampled to determine any
corresponding changes to fish populations on those sites. Additional studies being
undertaken to document user patterns can be combined with this data to help show
what effect, if any, the newly placed structure may have on fish community
structure.
Methods
Roving Diver Technique (RDT). The RDT is a non-point visual survey method
specifically designed to generate a comprehensive species list along with
frequency and abundance estimates. During RDT surveys, divers swim freely
throughout a dive site and record every observed fish species. At the conclusion
of each survey, divers assign each recorded species one of four 10glO abundance
categories [single (1); few (2-10), many (11-100), and abundant (>100)].
Following the dive, each surveyor records the species data along with survey time,
depth, temperature, and other environmental information on a REEF scansheet.
The scansheets are returned to REEF, and the data are loaded into the REEF
database that is publicly accessible on the Internet at http://www.reef.org.
Once entered into the REEF database, data are displayed by geographic location,
including a complete species list, Sighting Frequency of each species and Density
index of abundance for each species.
(%SF = number of surveys reporting species / total number of surveys at that site
Density score = [(nsxl)+(nFx2)+(nMx3)+(nAx4)] / (ns + nF + nM + nA), where n is
the number of times each abundance category was assigned)
Data summary reports can also be generated for side by side site comparison and
summary by species.
Sampling scheme
The survey team will be made up of REEF Advanced Assessment Team members
who have all achieved a level 4 or 5 experience level and have considerable
experience and expertise in surveying local fish populations. Eight sites (see table
1) representing the Spiegel Grove sinking site, six (6) adjacent natural reefs and
one (1) artificial reef will be surveyed prior to deployment at no cost to the
County. Following deployment, the Spiegel Grove artificial reef and the
remaining seven (7) sites will be surveyed monthly for the first three months,
quarterly for the following three quarters and yearly thereafter. This scheme
04/07/0310:35 AM
represents a total of six (6) monitoring sessions in year 1 and one (1) monitoring
session in years two (2) through five (5).

Site descriptions
The 8 sites to be surveyed represent a broad range of nearby natural and artificial
structure. The Spiegel Grove site is represented by barren, level sand bottom with
a depth of approximately 130'. The closest structure to this site is a small patch of
rocky substrate located approximately 2/1 Oths of a mile from the proposed sinking
location in a depth of approximately 125'. The nearest substantial reef structures
are the natural reef edges at Dixie Shoals and the Red Can buoy approximately
4/1 Oths of a mile shoreward of the sinking site. These reefs are sloping drop-offs
represented by low profile hardbottom with sparse coverings of small corals and
sponges. Approximately 7/1 Oths of a mile inshore from the sinking site, lie Dixie
Shoals Shallows and the Red Can Shallows, 2 hardbottom areas of moderate
rugosity represented by low profile structure and moderate coral cover. These sites
represent the nearest shallow water coral reef communities to the sinking site.
More than 1 mile to the south lies another steeply sloping drop-off and the wreck
of the Norwegian freighter Benwood. This site represents the closest artificial reef
and harbors a large diversity and abundance of fish. Additional historical baseline
data collected as part of the REEF program (more than 2,150 surveys) are
available for the surrounding high profile reefs including Molasses, French,
Elbow, Key Largo Dry Rocks and Grecian Rocks.
04/07/03 10:35 AM
Reporting
Following year I of monitoring, a summary report will be produced outlining
temporal changes in species composition and populations on the Spiegel Grove
site. In addition, analysis of the 7 reference sites will be conducted to document
any change in composition or abundance at those locations. Summary data reports
will be generated from the REEF database as well as site similarity comparisons.
Similar annual reports will be provided for each succeeding year of the
CONTRACT. A final report will be provided in year five which analyzes changes
at the Spiegel Grove site over the five year period and provides comparison
information between the Spiegel Grove monitoring site and the other seven (7)
identified above.

Dear Colleen,
Thanks for getting the enclosed contract for monitoring the U,S.S- Spiegel Grove out to
us so quickly. I have signed the three copies and provided insurance documentation as
requested.
I am enclosing our certificate of liability insurance with Lloyds of London. Please note
that for General Liability, Monroe County Board ofCommissiollers is listed as a
certificate holder on this policy,
As far as Worker's Compensation goes, REEF is not required to maintain Worker's
Compensation Insurance as provided by FL Statue Title XXXI Chapter 440.02 (15) (d)
(2) (6) and Chapter 440,055.
REEF also does not own any Watercraft, Monitoring events are conducted from
chartered dive vessels that maintain their own watercraft liability coverage. If necessary,
these charter operators can list Momoe County as an additional insured on their policies.
REEF also does not own or lease any vehicles and therefore does not maintain any
vehicle liability coverage. Vehicles are not used in carrying: out the work listed in the
scope of this contract, and as such, Vehicle Liability Coverage should not he necessary.
Please let me know if you win need any additional information or documentation in order
to expedite this contract.
Thanks for a1 of your help.
Sincerely.
Lad Akins
Executive Director
REEF
