Description

Most people picture sand bottoms when theythink of Florida's prime surf breaks. But in one area, things are alittle different…

The Space Coast Reef runs along 8-10 miles of beach in themiddle portion of Brevard County. This area is home to some of thebest surf breaks on the east coast; places like RC's, Lum's, andPet Den. The reef is also a critical marine habitat, judged by theUS EPA to be "the premier marine community in the area". On extremelow tides much of it can be exposed, presenting opportunities toexplore and take photos.

The limestone basis of the reef is part of the Anastasiaformation, which is the backbone structure of east Florida'sbarrier islands from just south of Jacksonville down to just northof Miami. The Space Coast Reef is a prominent area of thisstructure which proves beneficial to both the surf breaks andmarine life. This geologic feature is just the start though, theecosystem features hundreds of species of organisms which attach tothe limestone, in turn providing shelter and food for creatures weknow and love such as stone crabs, snook, and sea turtles. The p.lapidosa worm is a "habitat engineer" who builds living reef muchlike corals; the worms build tubes by selectively gatheringfragments of colorful shells suspended by wave action in the surf,and then making their own glue to cement these fragments intoaggregations of individual tubes that are often mistaken for braincoral heads. The National Marine Fisheries Service has designatedthe Space Coast Reef as an Essential Fish Habitat, and Habitat Areaof Particular Concern, because of this unique concentration ofnear-shore marine life. Density of biomass is in the range of30-40X that of surrounding sand-only beaches. For instance, thereare 377 species of macroalgae (seaweeds), over 400 species ofinvertebrates (worms, crabs, shrimps, etc.), and 300+ species offish associated with these reefs.

Unfortunately, dredge-and-fill "beach nourishment" projectsthreaten to bury our reef. It's a sad day when the government wouldspend taxpayer dollars to damage our surf breaks and marinehabitat.
