Projects 2023-01, 02, and 03

These projects will be conducted by the St. Andrew and St. Joseph Bays Estuary Program (SASJBEP). The projects were 

identified by the Estuary Program governance (committees, Management Council, Policy Board) through the planning 

process as next steps for protection and restoration of the bay resources. The projects directly relate to issue areas and 

recommended actions in the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan, being prepared in part with funds 

from Bay County’s RESTORE Act Direct Component allocation. None of the new projects are funded under the current 

project.

2023-01 Protecting Seagrass in St Andrew Bay through reduction of direct and indirect impacts

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Seagrass is an integral habitat in St. Andrew Bay that provides important nursery habitat for recreational and 

commercial fish and shellfish (e.g., scallops) and helps trap sediments to keep the bay waters crystal clear. 

Unfortunately, seagrass acreage and cover has declined because of changes in water quality, storm events, propeller

scarring, and grazing. To conserve existing seagrass beds throughout the Bay, reducing indirect and direct impacts to 

seagrass is critical. Direct impacts include prop scars, which occur when boat propellers cut through the roots, stems 

and leaves of seagrass resulting in strips of unvegetated bottom throughout seagrass beds. Damage from prop scars can 

take years to recover and lead to declines in seagrass cover with repeated scarring. Nutrient loading and turbidity 

negatively impact seagrass by reducing the available light for seagrass leaves to photosynthesize, which promotes 

growth of epiphytes and algae, therefore reducing seagrass growth and survival.

The currently funded SASJBEP project is identifying desired actions through a planning process that have been 

prioritized for the Estuary Program and partners to take in order to realize our ultimate vision of “healthy, resilient bays 

and estuarine habitats that support native species, natural systems, recreation, fisheries and the economy, together 

with vibrant, resilient, and sustainable communities in the watershed that live in harmony with the needs of the 

estuary”. One of the needs identified through the current planning process (currently active project) is to protect 
seagrass habitat that is critical to meeting our vision and one of the primary threats identified is direct damage from 

boaters’ props. The proposed project will implement the action identified that will increase protection by providing user 

friendly information on the bay that will guide safe navigation away from seagrass beds and inform users on the 

importance of these habitats.

The seagrass project will work to protect seagrass by providing information on safe navigation that will help alleviate 

repetitive injury to seagrasses, including current and past restoration projects fund by other sources. This will be a 

project focused on preventing damage to seagrasses by boaters following marked channels, recognizing shallow areas, 

the importance of seagrass for the environment and economic sustainability, and anchoring/safe motoring methods.

NEED:

The most recent seagrass assessments in St. Andrew Bay suggest a potential decline in seagrass cover and high density 

of propeller scars and a reduction in the sizes of seagrass beds.

PURPOSE:

This project will maintain and ultimately increase seagrass coverage by reducing the direct impacts to seagrass such as 

prop scars.

OBJECTIVES

Increase seagrass coverage by reducing direct and indirect impacts to seagrass beds including prop damage, nutrient 

loading, and turbidity. This would provide essential information such as sensitive areas, boating guidelines, etc. to help 

increase awareness of seagrass and better protect and preserve critical seagrass habitat that is essential habitat for 

scallops and many other species we depend on in the Bay.

MILESTONES 

i. Initiation of engagement with boat operators, both private and commercial operations, to 

disseminate information regarding the importance of seagrass and methods to protect this 

resources

ii. Updated maps of seagrass cover and prop scars in the Bay by synthesizing existing information

iii. Creation of maps with seagrass areas designated

iv. Dissemination of information on responsible boating to protect seagrass

v. Report on seagrass cover in the Bay

LOCATION:

St. Andrew Bay. See attached map.

2023-02 Identifying sources of waterbody impairments to determine effective actions to increase water quality of St. 

Andrew Bay

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

St. Andrew Bay is the lifeblood of our area, and it is critical for all community members to play an active role in the 

protection and restoration of this system for the enjoyment into future generations. In many coastal areas like our own, 

establishment of communities occurred slowly and prior to the understanding of potential impacts to the Bays. These 

areas are also under intense development that is occurring faster than infrastructure can be repaired and replaced, 

resulting in water quality issues. Currently, there are approximately 39 impaired waterbodies in the St. Andrew Bay 

Watershed that are primarily listed for levels of nutrients and bacteria. Understanding the source of these materials is 

critical to addressing the impacts and removing these waterbodies from the impaired waterbodies list while benefiting 

the natural resources. Identification of sources can be completed using stable isotope tracking for nutrient sources and 

microbial tracking methods to identify the source of microbes in the waterways. 

The currently active SASJBEP project has identified data gaps in understanding the source of nutrients and bacteria that 

have been measured across St. Andrew Bay by St. Andrew Bay Watch as referenced in question #6 below. The 

measurements currently being taken only provide the total nitrogen and total fecal coliform count. The proposed 

project will dissect these measurements further by identifying the type of nitrogen and type of bacteria that can be 
more indicative of the sources in these samples. This information can inform more detailed and directed management 

actions to address the source.

There is no overlap between this project and the St. Andrew Bay Watch water quality monitoring project being funded 

by RESTORE Act Spill Impact Component funds being provided through Bay County. The Bay Watch water quality 

monitoring program collects monthly water samples at 73 stations across the St. Andrew Bay system. These samples 

include water chemistry (salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity) as well as nutrients (total nitrogen and 

phosphorus) and fecal coliform. Nitrogen can come from several sources including fertilizer, sewage, septic tanks, and 

atmospheric. The Bay Watch project measures only the total nitrogen. The proposed project will determine the specific 

type of nitrogen. This will help indicate the source. This analysis can be used to inform more specific management 

actions. Similarly, there are several sources of fecal coliform, and the Bay Watch Program measured the concentration 

of all fecal coliform; the proposed project will identify the source (i.e. animal type) of the fecal coliform. 

NEED:

In order to address the impaired waters and delist these waters, an understanding of the source of the impairment is 

critical to the strategic alignment of our limited resources, such as time and money, to actions that address the sources 

of impairment.

PURPOSE:

The St. Andrew and St. Joseph Bays Estuary Program’s mission is to bring representatives from multiple sectors together 

to identify projects that will be implemented to increase the health of the Bay. A research gap that has been identified 

by the stakeholders involved with the Estuary Program will be filled with the completion of the proposed project that 

will lead to identifying sources of impairment and recommendations for improvement.

OBJECTIVES

Determine primary sources of water quality impairments using a diverse set of tracking methods including microbial 

and stable isotope tracking to lead to the creation of focused action plans to reduce the number of waterbodies 

impaired by nutrients and bacteria. At the completion of this project we would know the source of impairment of each 

of the waterbodies and provide critical information for addressing the impairment through voluntary and proactive 

methods. 

MILESTONES 

i. Selection of contractor/lab for sample analysis

ii. Purchase of equipment required for sampling

iii. Sampling of sediments in all impaired water bodies

iv. Sampling for microbial sources

v. Acquisition of results from contractor/lab

vi. Synthesis of results into report with identification of sources and recommendations to address 

these sources

2023-03 Determining aquatic habitat quality using benthic communities as indicators to guide recommended actions 

to increase habitat quality in St. Andrew Bay

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Bottom-dwelling (benthic) estuarine ecosystems are critical components of the larger coastal system. Benthic 

communities are important in maintaining water quality and as food sources for many bottom-feeding organisms. They 

are also important indicators of environmental conditions as they are sensitive to pollutant exposure because many 

pollutants build up in sediments and these organisms tend to have limited mobility and therefore, high exposure. 

Examining benthic communities across the St. Andrew Bay would provide a picture of habitat quality and highlight areas 

of high pollutant loads based on the presence of species that are characteristic to the habitat. This assessment can 
indicate potential pollutant loads that are not monitored through routine water quality sampling. Overall diversity of 

benthic communities can be an informative indicator of system health.

A data gap identified by the currently active SASJBEP project is to understand the habitat quality of St. Andrew Bay. 

Water quality provides part of the picture but examining the benthic (bottom-dwelling) communities can provide both a 

historic and current picture of habitat quality. This information combined with water quality can provide a more 

complete and informative picture on resource needs.

NEED:

Current assessment of benthic communities to determine areas of historic and current pollutant loads of substances 

beyond routine water quality parameters that accumulate in sediments.

PURPOSE:

The St. Andrew and St. Joseph Bays Estuary Program is working with stakeholders from all sectors to restore and 

conserve our bay systems. The proposed project will provide the first ever comprehensive assessment of benthic 

communities as an indicator for habitat condition of the St. Andrew Bay that can inform recommended actions to 

improve habitat condition.

OBJECTIVES

Determine current condition of habitat quality by incorporating existing surface water quality data combined with an 

analysis of benthic communities. This will provide a current condition of the Bay system beyond just water quality while 

also identifying areas that have higher levels of pollution and potential sources as indicated by the benthic community 

present. This will allow us to determine recommended management actions to reduce the impacts entering the Bay.

MILESTONES 

i. Selection of contractor/lab/partner for sample analysis

ii. Identification of sample sites across St. Andrew Bay

iii. Benthic community analysis

iv. Identification of areas of concerns based on taxa present in analysis

v. Synthesis of data into a report that identifies areas of concern with recommended actions to 

address the potential pollutant sources

2. How the applicant made the multiyear plan available for 45 days for public review and comment, in a manner calculated to 

obtain broad-based participation from individuals, businesses, Indian tribes, and non-profit organizations, such as through public 

meetings, presentations in languages other than English, and postings on the Internet. The applicant will need to submit 

documentation (e.g., a copy of public notices) to demonstrate that it made its multiyear plan available to the public for at least 45 

days. In addition, describe how each activity in the multiyear plan was approved after consideration of all meaningful input from the 

public and submit documentation (e.g., a letter from the applicant's leadership approving submission of the multiyear plan to

Treasury or a resolution approving the applicant's multiyear plan).

[At its March 21, 2023 meeting, the Bay County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) heard the proposed Multi-Year 

Implementation Plan amendment related to Project Aqua and the seagrass impacts, waterbody impairments, and 

benthic communities projects, conducted a public meeting, and opened a 45-day comment period, through May 5, 

2023. A legal ad was published on the Bay County Public Notices web page (https://publicnoticesbaycountyfl.gov/) 

about the amendment and comment period and an email was sent to the more than 200 entities on the Bay County 

RESTORE Act interested parties list. The proposed amendment was available as an exhibit in the March 21 and May 16

BoCC agendas. The materials were also available for download from the County’s RESTORE Act web pages. No public 

comments were made at the March 21 public hearing, and one comment was received during the comment period. A 

legal ad was posted to the Bay County Public Notices web page about the amendment and the May 16 BoCC public 

hearing.
On May 16, the proposed amendment was again brought before the Bay County Board of County Commissioners in a 

public hearing setting. Staff addressed the one public comment submitted during the public comment period. The 

Board made no revisions to the proposed plan amendment. In a 5-0 vote, the Board approved the amendment to Bay 

County's RESTORE Act Direct Component Plan and directed staff to submit the amendment to Treasury. Project Aqua 

was later removed from the amendment based on feedback from Treasury.
