Scope of Work Information
Abstract Description: Briefly but completely describe the problem to be addressed and the project solution to
the problem. Please limit to one page.
Virginia Key is an environmentally -sensitive island located in Biscayne Bay in Miami. The Key is an important
coastal ecosystem with four different habitats: natural beach, dunes, wetlands and an upland hammock. 106 native
species inhabit the Key, including three that are endangered and four that are threatened. The Key also provides
vital resources for migrating birds traveling the Atlantic coast flyway. The island has experienced considerable loss
of native habitat due to the invasion of exotic species, which was exacerbated by the impact by Hurricane Andrew in
1992, after which the Key became particularly susceptible to invasive exotic species such as Brazilian pepper,
creeping daisy, castor bean, and wild balsam apple. Restoration efforts began in 1996 and exotic species have been
reduced to 5% dominance of the hammock. The restoration of Virginia Key is a community volunteer effort that
includes environmental and volunteer outreach activities, coastal clean-ups and exotic plant species monitoring.
FCMP funds will be used to support a portion of the Education Coordinator's salary, exotic species removal tools
and supplies, information signage, a GPS unit and GIS software, a portable lap -top, and reforestation and educational
materials.
