I posted some information earlier about the NRDA projects and will post more as I get more information. There are some links on the Navarre Beach Marine Sanctuary Site to the Phase I proposal from the trustees. The project is not in that phase but I'm sure comments to the trustees in favor of inclusion of the reefs in the follow on phases would not hurt. This post on the NBMS site has more info on the early restoration projects, selection criteria, etc. There are also links for submitting comments.

What law says this?

At the federal level it's probably some CFR that gives the corps permitting authority to specify conditions in the permits.

a reef in about 50 feet of water off of navarre beach would be great for Yak fishing. It is not likely that power boats would make that long of a run from P-cola or Destin pass to fish in 50 feet. The Yaks should have it to themselves most of the time.

There are no signs or anything posted at the EOP reef and I see people fishing and spearfishing it often, unless there are signs posted it just another artificial reef and will be fished I am sure.

I cant wait though I love snorkeling the EOP reef, by the time it warms up the growth on it should be great this year.

Is this the start of a Santa Rosa Country LAARS?

Similar but Escambia County LARS is further out. This is more similar to westernnost of the the two recently permitted nearshore (east and west of the pass within about 3 miles of shore) reef areas. I believe at least one of the Escambia Lars allows private reef deployment. These would not allow private deployment of reefs (although if fully funded from the BP related project it would be pretty much filled up.

This is great news for the area! Thanks for moving this in the right direction. Feel free to let me know if there's anything I can do to support. Marine Sanctuarys will help benefit the reefs around them.
