MULTI-PURPOSE SURF REEF FEASIBILITY
PRESENTATION SCHEDULED


VIERA, Florida – In response to significant community interest, Brevard County commissioned a feasibility study for constructing multi-purpose surfing reefs to reduce beach erosion, improve surfing conditions and increase associated recreational opportunities. Study results will be presented to the public on Wednesday, November 19 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Florida Room at the Viera Government Center , 2725 Judge Jamieson Way , Bldg C, Viera.
Presenters will include Michael Walther, P.E. of Coastal Tech, with over 30 years experience in coastal engineering and management in Florida , and Mike Slotkin, PhD of Praecipio EFS, an economic, financial and statistical consulting firm. Coastal Tech led a collaborative effort of five firms to examine the engineering and economic aspects of the proposed project. Additional firms who contributed to this study include ASR America, Continental Shelf Associates, and Surfbreak Engineering Sciences.
The study began with a literature review of all existing surf reefs constructed or under construction. The literature was supplemented with interviews of people in Australia , New Zealand , England and California who were directly involved in the planning, design, construction and/or management of similar innovative reefs.

Surf Reef – Page 2

Coastal Tech led the team in identifying and ranking optimal reef locations in Brevard County . A reef configuration, refined by ASR America, was selected by the team for the purpose of analyzing its potential for Brevard County . Surfbreak Engineering performed a wave analysis to predict the number of additional surfing days per year that could be generated by the reef. Continental Shelf provided a preliminary assessment of environmental impacts pertinent to federal and state permitting requirements. ASR America contributed to an opinion of probable costs; Coastal Tech estimated erosion control benefits; and Praecipio analyzed recreational benefits. Coastal Tech concluded with a Benefit/Cost analysis and review of federal and state cost-share eligibility.
The full report can be downloaded at ftp://coastaltechcorp-ftp.com. The username is “Brevard ASR” and there is no password. Please note that some of the files are quite large.
The cost of the team’s engineering analysis was split between the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners and an innovative technology grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Praecipio’s assessment of recreational benefits was financed with marketing funds from the Brevard County Tourist Development Council.
After the formal presentations, elected officials and the public will be invited to pose questions to the presenters and/or County staff. For more information about this presentation, please call the Brevard County Natural Resources Management Office at (321) 633-2016 ext. 52435.

LT. GOV, LEGISLATORS, KSC DIRECTOR TO SPEAK
AT FLORIDA SPACE & TECHNOLOGY FORUM

COCOA, Fla. – Florida Lieutenant Governor Jeff Kottkamp and Kennedy Space Center Director Bill Parsons will be the keynote speakers at the Florida Space and Technology Forum to be held Monday, September 29 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Florida Solar Energy Center in Cocoa .
Space is Florida ’s original high-tech industry, with space contractors in 47 of Florida ’s 67 counties. When the Space Shuttle fleet is retired in 2010, Florida could lose up to 10,000 high-wage jobs, further impacting the state’s fragile economy.
Congressman Tom Feeney, Florida senators Mike Haridopolos and Bill Posey, and Florida representatives Sandy Adams, Thad Altman, Dean Cannon, Ralph Poppell, Steve Precourt , and Tony Sasso will join moderator John Thrasher to discuss and create a legislative agenda to advocate for Florida ’s space industry.
Industry presentations will be made by ASRC Aerospace Corporation, The Boeing Company, ITV Group, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman, United Launch Alliance, Wyle Laboratories, and Zero Gravity Corporation.
The goals of the forum are to asses Florida’s assets and limitations and develop a public policy agenda to increase the state’s competitive advantage; determine how the State of Florida and its advocacy groups can assist Florida’s congressional delegation in promoting space and technology; develop a state budget request for space, to be submitted to the governor and state legislature for the 2008 legislative session; identify roles and improve relationships of all groups supporting Florida’s space industry; and create a master calendar for coordination of Florida’s space advocacy activities at the state and federal level.
Issues such as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education; university-based research and applied technology; space infrastructure; employment; business development; and state and federal partnerships will be discussed.
This program is free and open to the public. The Florida Solar Energy Center is located at the northeast corner of Brevard Community College ’s Cocoa Campus.
