a. Most marine construction projects in South Florida require an in-season benthic resource survey to identify seagrass, corals, and other protected marine life in the area. If you are planning a dock, seawall, lift, or any waterfront development, having a benthic resource survey on file can help avoid project delays.

b. Our in-house biologist conducts these surveys to ensure compliance with permitting requirements. The FDEP’s official growing season for benthic surveysruns from April 1st to September 30th, and most agencies will require surveys during this timeframe for project approvals. Planning ahead and completing this survey early can help keep your project on schedule.
