MONITORING OF CORAL REEFS IN THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS - YEARS 21-22 Contractor agrees to assist the Government with the monitoring of coral reef ecosystems in the Virgin Islands, through performance of the scope of work outlined below, which may be modified as agreed upon by the Contractor and the Government. The general goal of the Territorial Coral Reef Monitoring Program (TCRMP) is to continue to fill gaps in monitoring coverage of U.S. Coral Reef Ecosystems. For the U.S. Virgin Islands this is accomplished through intensive assessments of the ecological composition and biological diversity of reef systems within the territory and establishment of baselines to make spatial comparisons and evaluate temporal changes. Under the long—term monitoring component ofthis project UVI will focus on a) quantitative assessment of living coral cover, and cover by other key benthic reef organisms (algae, sponges, and others); b) information on the condition of coral colonies such as the presence of bleaching and disease; and c) survey of macro invertebrates (sea urchin, Diadema antillarurn), using videography at a number of locations as described below. Additionally, reef fish populations will be assessed by conducting nine belt transects and three Roving Diver Fish Census in the vicinity of the benthic transects at each site. Long Term Monitoring Component St. Croix Monitoring The Contractor will collect the information described above for 14 monitoring sites, which are comprised of previously established TCRMP sites around St. Croix under previous program funding as well as newly incorporated sites that had been monitored in the past utilizing funding from DPNR-DEP which has been discontinued. The 14 sites include: Buck Island (STX), Cane Bay (nearshore & deep sites), Eagle Ray, Castle-West Indies Lab, Great Pond, Jacks Bay, Lang Bank Hind, Lang Bank EEMP, Mutton Snapper, Salt River (nearshore & deep sites), King’s Corner and Sprat Hole). The sites will be sampled once per year. The Contractor will collect data at these 14 sites, each consisting of six permanent lOm transects, using the underwater video protocol as established in previous years of this program under MOA #GC-PNR-025-200 1. The Contractor will also assess fish populations by conducting nine belt transects and three 9 OPCMR General Contract No. Initials: _______ G036PNRT22 DocuSign Envelope ID: 05CE2900-14DC-4D8F-9E16-EE92D78E3BB5 OPCMR Roving Diver Fish Census in the vicinity ofthe coral transects at each site. St. Thomas/St. John Monitoring The Contractor will collect the information described above for 17 sites around St. Thomas/St. John, which again are comprised of established TCRMP sites through previous program funding and newly incorporated sites that had been monitored in the past utilizing funds from DPNR- DEP which has been discontinued. The 17 sites include: College Shoal East, Grammanik Bank, Hind Bank East, South Capella, South Water Island, Seahorse Cottage Shoal, Coculus Rock (formerly Benner Bay), Black Point, Botany Bay, Brewers Bay, Buck Island (STT), Fish Bay, Flat Cay, Magens Bay, Men Shoal (formerly South Fish), Savana Island and St. James Island. In addition to collecting benthic habitat data using the aforementioned underwater video protocol around St. Thomas/St. John, The Contractor will assess fish populations by conducting nine belt transects and three Roving Diver Fish Census in the vicinity of the coral transects at each site. NIethodology Because this project is a continuation of a project initiated in 2000 for the monitoring of coral reefs of the U.S. Virgin Islands, the methodology of collecting data and parameters to be monitored will be the same as those established under Addendum I Scope of Work to the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) dated May 18, 2001 between the Government of the Virgin Islands and the University of the Virgin Islands (GC-PNR 025-2001). Under that MOA a video monitoring and analysis protocol was established. Training in Field Use of Videography and Analysis of Videotapes The Contractor will provide training in the use of the video method to DPNR staff. Training will include the field component and the analyses of videotapes using the detailed protocol that has been developed. Media that demonstrates the use of this protocol (produced under MOA #GC-PNR-025-200l) will be made available to DPNR staff upon signature of this MOA as a training tool to complement on-site training in the field and in the laboratory/office. Products The Contractor will make the results of these efforts available to DPNR in the form of a comprehensive report including archived digital video transect data (and appropriate metadata) and results of image analyses. The data will also be made available on an interactive web page on the UVI website and the CZM website. Results of this project will be disseminated to the USVI community through a media campaign, including but not necessarily limited to newspaper articles and radio shows. Final reports generated from this project will be made available for distribution through NOAA-sponsored websites. However, the parties will retain a two-year proprietary data time limit to allow 10 General Contract No. _________________________ Initials: ________ G036PNRT22 DocuSign Envelope ID: 05CE29C0-1 4DC-4D8F-9E1 6- .•.i—- -.---- OPCMR sufficient time for the principal investigators on the project to compile and distribute scientific manuscripts to peer-reviewed journals for publication. This proprietary time limit on the use of data generated through this project may be extended through the submission of a written request from the Contractor prior to the end of the two-year time limit. The Contractor will deliver detailed semi-annual progress reports on June 30, 2021 (Year 21) and June 30, 2022 (Year 22). The final report and all other final products for the Year 21 scope of work will be submitted to DPNR-CZM by September 15, 2021. The final report and all other final products for the Year 22 scope of work will be submitted to DPNR-CZM by September 15, 2022. If any no-cost extensions are needed for submission of these reports, UVI must submit such a request in writing and provide a detailed progress report by August 1 5tli of the respective year. Coordination of Site Visits The Contractor will attempt to coordinate field activities with DPNR to increase efficiency and to provide training. In order to do so, UVI will notify DPNR prior to any field activities. Availability of Data The Contractor will make all data collected available to DPNR upon request at any time.
