Gentlemen:
Tavernier Creek Bridge, O.O.T., Key largo
Monroe County, O.E.R. No. 44-37-3648
A biological survey of the above referenced project has been performed
by our staff, and the following comments are provided:
The applicant proposed to construct a 320-ft. long bridge over
Tavernier Creek on South Key largo. Subject waters are Class III.
Fill will be placed below mean high water to create the bridge
approaches. A proposed bulkhead, with backfill, will protect the
south side of the bridge approaches.
Tavernier Creek Marina is located just northwest of the project.
Property to the southeast and northeast of the project is vegetated
primarily by mangroves. The proposed bridge is to be located
immediately south of the existing bridge, which is to remain in
place.
The submerged bottom substrate at the work site is composed of
shell fragments overlaid in some areas by organic debris and marl.
Sparse vegetation (macroscopic marine algae) was present along the
west side of the project area. Several species of algae grew
scattered along the east side of the project area, and an area of
Cuban shoal grass was observed just east of the end of old State
Road 5.

Numerous species of vertebrates and invertebrates inhabit waters of
the subject area. These include angelfish, parrotfish, grunt,
snapper, moray eel, sergeant-majors, cow fish, barracuda, gastropods,
polychaetes, coelenterates, and decapods.
The proposed project will eliminate the area to be filled from
marine productivity. A stabilized shoreline along the east side
will also be partially filled during the construction. An attempt
has been made to reduce impact by lengthening the bridge, thereby
reducing the fill. The structure is preferable since water passage
is not restricted or interrupted. Although a small area of Cuban
shoal 9t'ass will be destroyed, it is anticipated that algae will
revegetate the disturbed ar.ea.
