Lignumvitae Key Submerged Land Management Area Boat Grounding Project Scope of Work for Phases I and II Introduction The Lignumvitae Key Botanical State Park and Lignumvitae Key Aquatic Preserve cover an area that includes approximately 10,000 acres of submerged lands known as the Lignumvitae Key Submerged Land Management Area (LKMA). This area includes navigation channels and shallow flats that harbor sensitive marine resources including seagrasses and corals. This area is also an attractive and very active recreational destination for residents and visitors engaged in water-related activities such as fishing, boating and snorkeling. LKMA has employed several tools to manage visitors while providing for the protection of sensitive marine resources, especially over the past 10 years. These activities have included "no-motor zoning," education, enforcement, resource mapping, and injury restoration. Despite this activity, LKMA has experienced extensive damage to benthic resources as a result of boat groundings and propeller scarring. LKMA has tracked individual damage events, especially over the last 10 years, through entry into a database at the park. To assist them with future management strategies, PAT MCNEESE will perform compilation and analysis ofthe boat grounding event information in LKMA database accumulated through fiscal year 2003-2004. The data will be analyzed for trends in order to determine what future management actions might help to reduce groundings. Future management actions may include anything from specific area marking to target audience education. Monroe County has expressed interest in obtaining the results of such an analysis. Boat grounding injuries are occurring throughout the Keys and Monroe County is implementing similar management actions such as education and channel marking. Results of the data analysis would assist the County with planning of future management activities and provide a framework from which to evaluate grounding incidents. Finally, there is a desire among all marine resource agencies in the Key, including the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) to achieve consistency and share information in the future with respect to recording of boat grounding events. This project will result in the analysis of past data from LKMA, the only entity with a long-term data base and it will result in a consistent and exchangeable format for future data sharing among the agencies. The project to be accomplished by PAT MCNEESE consists of four phases summarized as follows: Phase I - Data Needs Task 1. Examine data and coordinate with staff on the past methods and context of entry. Task 2. List and organize questions to be answered about the data. Coordinate with resource agencies to obtain questions. Task 3. Determine methods of data analysis within and outside MS Access. Task 4. Normalize data and add necessary fields for MS Access analysis. Phase II - MS Access Data Analysis and Reporting Task 1. Build MS Access queries. Task 2. Generate data and first draft report (results and discussion). Phase III - Data Analysis Outside MS Access Task 1. Finalize methods of data analysis outside MS Access. Task 2. Reformat data to perform non-Access analysis. Task 3. Generate data and incorporate into final report. Phase IV - Future Use by Staff Task 1. Set up instructions for consistent future data entry and query runs. Task 2. Link data to ArcView GIS maps and set up for future entry. Tasks to be Completed This scope of work covers Phase I and Phase II tasks detailed below. Phase 1. Data Needs Task 1. Initial Data Examination This task will involve acquisition of a complete data set from the LKMA data base and examination of the format and content of the data. Current and past LKMA staff who have entered data will be contacted to help clarify any inconsistencies in past methods and format of data entry. During this task an attempt will be also be made to identify potential strengths, weaknesses and degree of accuracy of specific data fields. A brief summary description of the data will be completed including such items as number of files and entries, field names and descriptions, etc. Deliverables: Summary description of spreadsheet data Fee: $800.00 Task 2. Study Goals This task will involve basically compiling a list of priority results we'd like to generate through analysis of the data, i.e., what questions we'd like answered. The data format and summary description will be compiled and supplied to an interagency group including staff of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) District 5 Parks and LKMA, FDEP Office of Coastal and Aquatic Management Areas (CAMA), Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS), Monroe County and possibly law enforcement agencies. Comments and study questions will be solicited from these agencies in an organized format and then presented back in summary. A general approach to analysis of the data will be outlined at this point. Deliverables: Summary of agency data questions Outline of approach to data analysis Fee: $960.00 Task 3. MS Access Analysis The data spreadsheet is in Microsoft Word Access (MS Access) format. This task will involve determination of methods of data analysis within the MS Access format. Data in MS Access can be analyzed through a query building. Questions about the data that can be answered via query-building format will be identified. Changes in data format that are necessary to accommodate MS Access queries will also be identified. A summary will be provided. Deliverables: Summary of potential data analysis within MS Access framework Fee: $960.00 Task 4. Other Analysis Some of the study goals (questions) identified in Task 2 may require further statistical or other analysis beyond the capabilities of the MS Access program. These will be identified along with methods of analysis, if any are available. The appropriateness and completeness of the data for generating results under further analysis will also be evaluated. A summary will be provided. At this point, questions that cannot be answered due to data limitations will be identified and recommendations will be made on what new or changed data entry methods would be needed to answer these questions. Deliverables: Summary of potential data analysis outside MS Access framework Fee: $640.00 Task 5. Normalize Data for MS Access Analysis This task will essentially involve completion of all necessary formatting of the data for MS Access analysis. Deliverables: Reformatted MS Access spreadsheet data Fee: $1,100.00 Total Phase I: $4,460.00 Phase II - MS Access Data Analysis and Reporting Task 6. Build MS Access Queries This task will involve building ofMS Access queries to answer question and generate results identified in Task 3. The result will be discrete and trend data (including charts and graphs where appropriate) resulting from the quenes. Deliverables: Raw data results from MS Access queries Fee: $1,100.00 Task 7. Generate Draft Report This task will involve compiling the results of the MS Access queries into a report. The report will include a history of project implementation up to this point, a presentation of results and discussion including interpretation of results. Deliverables: Draft report Fee: $2,440.00 Total Phase II = $3,540.00 Total for Phase I and Phase II Not to Exceed $8,000.00.
