    Description: In recent times, from 1871-1993, nearly 1,0OO tropical cyclonesof tropical storm or hurricane intensity have s cur red in the NorthAtlantic, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. Of this total, about180 have reached Florida, with 75 of these known to have hurricaneforce winds (wind speed 2 74 mph) and 105 with tropical stormforce winds (39 mph - 73 mph). While early records are fragmentary and incomplete, thefollowing is a discussion of the more formidable Florida hurricanes.For convenience and to provide readable hurricane tracks, thediscussion examines hurricanes occurring within 30-year periods,divided into 10-year sections. When possible the SaffirISirnpson Scale (Table 1) describes the hurricane category for both past hurricanes (before the scale was developed), and recent hurricanes. (157pp.)

    Ponce de Leon channel shoaling and erosion studies Punta Gorda, Florida (2021)

    Description: The shoaling and bank erosion at Ponce de Leon channel, Punta Gorda, Florida, havecaused concern of harming the mangrove community along the channel. Three factorswere identified that could contribute to the bank erosion of Ponce channel. Theyare tidal induced current, wind waves penetrating from the Charlotte Harbor, andwakes caused by boat traffic. According to the field experiments and numericalmodeling studies, it was determined that the combined wind wave and tidal currentforce is the major cause to the bank erosion. Wind wave appears to play a moreimportant role because of its dynamic nature. For the present cross-sectionalchannel condition the tidal current alone is only a moderate erosional force.It was also found that reopening the barge canal would cut the tidal currentstrength in the Ponce channel by a half. This current reduction would reduce butnot eliminate bank erosion in the lower reach as the wind-wave induced force willremain to be an important erosional factor.A number of remedial alternatives were given in the report. The most direct methodis to provide bank protection. The extent of the protection depends upon theextent of wind wave penetration which could be as deep as 150 m into the channelunder the present channel entrance condition.

    Description: This thesis examines the historical shoreline response to inlet modifications and sealevel rise. Inlet modifications are considered to be the geographic stabilization and training(through the use of structures) of natural inlets and the creation and further modification ofartificial inlets. Shoreline response to natural and artificial processes must be understood inorder to predict the performance of the coastline. The tendency for creating and modifyinginlets increases as industry and population growth demands. Sea level rise is a natural processwhich cannot be controlled at this time. Current theoretical approaches to predictingshoreline response indicate that sea level rise and inlet modifications can cause substantialshoreline impact. Florida, with roughly a century of shoreline position and relative sea leveldata, provides a basis for examining past trends and comparing them with theory.The shoreline of Florida was found to be accreting with the greatest accretion alongthe east coast. Shoreline responses within the boundaries of the erosional influence of inletsdue to their creation and/or modification were examined for 19 inlets around the coast ofFlorida. The differences in the shoreline response before and after the initial modification ofeach inlet show the erosional strain that inlets apply on the nearby shoreline. The effect onshoreline response due to the human intervention (unnatural processes) of modifying inletswas isolated and examined. The shoreline response due to this "human intervention" was erosional, thereby showing the negative impact that modified inlets have on shorelines. Thisinduced erosion is responsible for the loss of roughly 21.6 million cubic yards of sand from theshoreline that is within the erosional influence of Florida's east coast inlets. Combining theshoreline changes due only to natural processes with sea level rise data allows for comparisonwith the commonly accepted Bruun Rule for shoreline response as a result of a changingsea level. This comparison and the effects of including a lag time between a rise in sea leveland a change in shoreline along the east coast of Florida during the last century show noagreement with the Bruun Rule and no correlation with a specific lag time.

    Description: Red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) invaded peninsular Florida morethan 30 years ago. Highlands and Polk counties, Florida, were probably first invaded inthe late 1960s. Since then, fire ants have continued both to spread and to increase inabundance. Experimental evidence has shown that red imported fire ants may have adetrimental impact on native species, both invertebrate and vertebrate, and that theseimpacts may be both direct and indirect. This segment of research was designed todetermine if fire ants have a negative impact on Florida grasshopper sparrow(Ammodramus savannarumfloridanus) populations at Avon Park Air Force BombingRange, Florida. The sampling reported herein was conducted during June and October,1997, and all analyses are restricted to data collected during those periods. As assessedby baits, fire ants were dominant on about half the sites, and absent from others. Inparticular, OQ Range sites tended to have fewer fire ants present, while Delta Trail siteswere more heavily infested, although there were exceptions. June fire ant abundance wasstrongly negatively correlated with both native ant abundance (r = -0.743, P = 0.006) andnative ant species richness (r = -0.730, P = 0.007). October fire ant abundance wasstrongly negatively correlated with both native ant abundance (r = -0.690, P = 0.013) andnative ant species richness (r = -0.736, P = 0.006). The patterns of fire ant abundance asassessed by pitfalls were very similar to those determined from bait sampling. June fireant abundance was negatively correlated (p 〈 0.05) with native ant richness, but otherJune comparisons were not statistically significant (P 〉 0.05). October fire antabundance was negatively correlated (P 〈 0.05) with native ant richness and abundance,but other comparisons were not statistically significant (P 〉 0.05). There was nosignificant correlation between overall insect biomass as assessed by light traps and fireant abundance as assessed by baits or pitfalls. Total biomass varied considerably amongthe two sample periods because of changes in overall insect abundance during differentseasons. There was a negative spatial correspondence between fire ants and nativeinvertebrates. Over most of the intensive study areas, there was a negative spatialrelationship between fire ants and the abundance of native invertebrates. Over about50% of the intensive study areas, there was a negative spatial relationship between fireants and the abundance of Florida grasshopper sparrows, although the relationship wasnot as strong as that between fire ants and native invertebrates. Fire ant and nativeinvertebrates were negatively correlated at grasshopper sparrow count locations (r =0.347,P = 0.03). A multiple regression model was fit to the data, using fire ants andnative invertebrates as independent variables, and grasshopper sparrow 100-m populationestimates (n = 39) as the dependent variable. The influence of fire ants on grasshoppersparrows was negative while the influence of native invertebrates was positive.However, the overall model, while suggestive, was not significant (r = 0.304, P = 0.17).Fire ant abundance was a better (negative) predictor of sparrow populations (P = 0.13)than was invertebrate abundance (P = 0.59). The overall model and influence of fire antson sparrow populations was suggestive of a negative influence warranting analyses ofdata for 1998 and 1999. (Document has 93 pages)

    Description: The Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempo is considered the most endangered ofthe seven extant marine turtle species (Ross et al. 1989). The US Fish and WildlifeService (USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) estimate thebreeding population at 1,500 to 3,000 individuals. The nesting population has beenreduced from approximately 40,000 on one day to no more than 700 annually(Magnuson et al. 1990, USFWS & NMFS 1992). Conservation measures for thespecies have focused on the protection of the nesting beach, captive rearing (headstarting), and the implementation of turtle excluder devices (TEDs) on shrimp nets. Fivehundred to 5,000 ridleys are still taken incidentally yearly by shrimp trawls (Magnuson etal. 1990). Lack of knowledge about early life stages of the Kemp's ridley sea turtlecurrently hinders recovery efforts for this federally listed species. (Document has 18 pages.)

    Description: The value of the natural resources of the White River Basin (Basin), AR isrecognized by the area's designation as a "Wetland of International Importance". TheBasin constitutes one of the Nation's largest remaining intact forested wetlandlandscapes, second only to the Atchafalya Basin. It supports the North Americancontinent's largest concentration of over-wintering mallard ducks, a world-class troutfishery, the last vestige of a big river fishery remaining in the Mississippi River Basin,and numerous threatened and endangered species. The continued viability of thiswetland ecosystem depends on the suitability of the hydrologic environment to theresident flora and fauna. Numerous modifications of the Basin hydrologic features in thepast century have seriously impaired the sustainability of these resources. The Basinwidealterations of hydrologic processes (e.g., impoundment and regulatory releases offlows and volumes in the upper reaches, navigational modifications of lower reaches, andconsumptive demands for agricultural use throughout) have affected the hydrology of thesystem profoundly. The result is highly regulated flows and stages, vastly alteredhydrologic patterns, over-stabilized water levels, and disruption of seasonal waterdistribution patterns. Given the critical nature of hydrology in regulating the structureand function of wetland ecosystems, the impacts have been devastating, particularly tothe critical bottomland hardwoods that support the Basin's fish and wildlife resources.To date these piece-meal, system-wide, hydrologic alterations have cornmutativelydegraded the habitat value of this resource for fish and wildlife in the Basin, and havelead to changes in their numbers and distributions. In spite of the enormous stakesinvolved, there has been no comprehensive characterization of the Basin hydrology.System alterations such as channel deepening, dam construction, water allocationplans, and flood control measures are currently pending. These projects will potentiallyhrther modify the hydrologic environments of the Basin, and no doubt require mitigationmeasures. In addition, there is genuine interest in restoring aspects of the Basin's historichydrologic regime within some set of reasonable limits. In order to proceed with thiseffort, the anticipated effects of these modifications and restorations on the Basin ecologyrequire thorough study of the area's historic hydrology, so that connectivity among Basinprecipitation patterns, flow fluctuations, and land use changes can be made. A basinhydrologic characterization is an initial component of this effort. The focus of this effortwas to determine and assemble the data set from which characterization of the hydrologicenvironments of the Basin using historic and recent water level, flow, (primarily byUSGS-WRD) at locations throughout the Basin could proceed.

    Description: Loxahatchee can be grouped into three zones according to the patterns of change of treeislands observed from 1950 to 1991. 1 ) the edge ofthe refuge adjacent to the canals, 2) the eastern interiorof the refuge, and 3) the western interior ofthe refuge. The general trend is for tree islandsAlong the edge of the refuge to have decreased insize, number, and percent cover, while those on theinterior increased in size, nunber, and percentcover.Results from this study illustrate the importanceof flow magnitude as well as hydroperiodand depth in stucturing patterns of tree islandswithin this peat wetland. Restoration of historichydroperiods and depths without historic flow patternsmay not be sufficient to restore or maintainthe historic pattern and function of the system. (60 pages)

    Description: We present a new modeling method for use in large-scale physical systems, such as the Everglades ecosystem.The current work that has been done in the ATLSS (Across-Trophic-Level System Simulation) project-whichfocuses on simulating key Everglades system components-relies on code integration. While this represents anecessary first step in analyzing the dynamics of species within the Everglades, it falls short of true modelintegration. We have constructed a methodology called object-oriented physical modeling (OOPM), which allowsa comprehensive knowledge representation to be constructedfor large-scale systems. OOPM enforces theidea that an implementation ofcomputer code can be accomplished in an incremental fashion by starting with aconceptual model and progressing to more detailed models. During this evolutionary procedure, a minimal amountof code is written, since the emphasis is on developing the conceptual model so that it not only represents theintuitive aspects ofthe model, but is also executable. OOPM provides a kind of "blueprint" for ecologists, biologistsand hydrologists to communicate and integrate models effectively. (14 page document)

    Description: We evaluated the use of strip-transect survey methods for manatees through aseries of replicate aerial surveys in the Banana River, Brevard County, Florida, duringsummer 1993 and summer 1994. Transect methods sample a representative portion ofthe total study area, thus allowing for statistical extrapolation to the total area. Otheradvantages of transect methods are less flight time and less cost than total coverage, easeof navigation, and reduced likelihood of double-counting.Our objectives were: (1) to identify visibility biases associated with the transectsurvey method and to adjust the counts accordingly; (2) to derive a population estimatewith known variance for the Banana River during summer; and (3) to evaluate thepotential value of this survey method for monitoring trends in manatee population sizeover time.

    Description: Along EAFB on Cape San BIas, the only sea turtle species nest observed has beenthe loggerhead turtle. The first green turtle nest documented along the Florida panhandlecoast was observed on EAFB property, however (D. Atencio, EAFB, pers. comm). SantaRosa Island, located approximately 150 miles west of Cape San BIas supports a small butconsistent, group of nesting green turtles (Fig. 2). Although erosion is not as severe alongSanta Rosa Island as it is on Cape San BIas, and vehicular traffic is not permitted, seaturtles nesting on this barrier island must survive severe tropical storms, predation, andartificial lighting to be successful. Because this area supports a rare group of nesting greenturtles and is disturbed by intense artificial lighting from Air Force missions and adjacentresort towns, continued monitoring is necessary. The sea turtle species that nest along thisbarrier island, and the human activities that disturb those sea turtles present uniquecircumstances for management ofthis area. Protection ofthe significant nestingpopulations of sea turtles on EAFB properties on Cape San BIas and Santa Rosa Islandrequires yearly monitoring of the nesting activity and the natural and human disturbancesinfluencing the nesting females.The objectives ofthis study were to monitor sea turtle nesting along EAFB onCape San BIas to determine number of nests and hatching success, assess disturbances,and determine proper management to ensure successful nesting and hatching.(56 page document)

    Florida's West Coast inlets: shoreline effects and recommended action (2021)

    Description: This report responds to the 1986 Beaches Bill which, in recognition of thepotential deleterious impact on Florida's beaches of inlets modified for navigation,mandated a study of those inlets with identification of recommended action to reducethe impacts. This report addresses west Coast inlets; East Coast inlets are thesubject of a companion report.There are 37 inlets along that portion of Florida's West Coast commencing fromPensacola Bay Entrance to Caxambas Pass at the south end of Marco Island. Compared tothose on the East Coast, most West Coast inlets have not had the deleterious effectson the adjacent beaches, yet all modified inlets without proper management have thepotential of impacting unfavorably on the adjacent shorelines. Moreover, at presentthere is interest in opening three West Coast entrances which either have been openin the past (Midnight Pass) or which have opened occasionally (Navarre Pass andEntrance to Phillips Lake).A review of inlets in their natural condition demonstrates the presence of ashallow broad outer bar across which the longshore transport Occurs. These shallowand shifting bar features were unsuitable for navigation which in many cases has ledto the deepening of the channels and fixing with one or two jetty structures. Inlets in this modified state along with inappropriate maintenance practices have thepotential of placing great ero$ional stress along the adjacent beaches. Moreover.channel dredging can reduce wave sheltering of the shoreline by ebb tidal shoals andalter the equilibrium of the affected shoreline segments. The ultimate in poor sandmanagement practice is the placement of good quality beach sand in water depths toogreat for the sand to reenter the longshore system under natural forces; depths of 12ft. or less are considered appropriate for Florida in order to maintain the sand inthe system.With the interference of the nearshore sediment transport processes by inletsmodified for navigation, if the adjacent beaches are to be stabilized there must bean active monitoring program with commitment to placement of dredged material ofbeach quality on shoreline segments of documented need. Several East Coast inletshave such transfer facilities; however. the quantities of sand transferred should beincreased. Although an evolution and improvement in the technical capability tomanage sand resources in the vicinity of inlets is expected, an adequate capabilityexists today and a concerted program should be made to commence a scheduledimplementation of this capability at those entrances causing greatest erosionalstress on the adjacent shorelines.A brief summary review for each of the 37 West Coast inlets is presentedincluding: a scaled aerial photograph, brief historical information, several itemsrelated to sediment losses at each inlet and special characteristics relevant toState responsibilities. For each inlet, where appropriate, the above infor~tion isutilized to develop a recommenced action. (PDF has 101 pages.)

    Description: This report describes and summarizes the results from a state-wide survey of Floridaresident saltwater anglers. The survey was designed to provide estimates of the economic valueanglers place on marginal changes in management of selected near-shore marine species.The Contingent valuation method was used to elicit angler willingness to pay for changesin management for redfish, seatrout , mullet, sheepshead, pompano. and king mackerel.Contingent valuation is a process in which respondents are presented with a detailed scenario thatdescribes an opportunity to express their willingness to pay for a proposed change in currentconditions. The process consists of three parts. First. the change in current conditions, or the"good" to be valued is described. Second, the payment method is described. The paymentmethod is usually closely related to typical methods of buying goods similar to the one to bevalued. Finally. the respondent is asked how much they would pay for the good described inthe scenario. A special saltwater fishing license stamp that would allow the holder to takeadvantage of the described management change was used as a payment mechanism. (PDF contains 147 pages.)

    Description: Work has begun on studying the factors responsible for productivityin the Florida springs, which are nearly constant temperature, constantchemical, steady state giant laboratories. Progress has been made on fiveaspects: qualitative description, quantitative description, completionof knowledge of chemical factors, measurement of productivity , developmentof productivity theory.Measurement of the primary productivity in Silver Springs and GreenCove Springs by two new methods: the raising of organisms in cages, and themeasurement of night & day differences in oxygen downstream agree roughly.Production in these springs is greater than previous production figures reportedfor marine, fresh water, and land areas. Instantaneous measures of production show large variations with season, time of day, cloud cover. Productionestimates range from 11,000 lbs per acre per year to 70,000 lbs. glucose peracre per year during daylight hours.Essential stability of the springs environment has been shown withrespect to temperature, phosphorus, and plant cover. A correlation of speciesnumber with lack of stability has been shown with insects. Quantitativestudies have shown very large plant base to pyramids of mass. Correlationof marine invasion with chlorinity has been shown. The essential aspects ofpH regulated phosphorus geochemistry in Florida have been outlined. Sometheoretical ideas on productivity have been evolved. Mapping of sessileorganisms in springs and taxonomic identification of dominants are halfcompleted. Plans for second six months include measurement of herbivoreand carnivore production rates and completion of food chain efficiencydeterminations in Silver Springs as a preparation for subsequentcomparisons between springs.

    Description: Hugo and Andrew were two of the most costly hurricanes to hit the United States in recordedhistory. They occurred within a time of three years in 1989 and 1992, respectively. The levelsof damage were disproportionately high when compared with past hurricanes of comparablestrength. Residential communities, in particular, were most severe. This report documents andcompares the nature and causes of structural damages inflicted by these two events.The damage nature was found to be very different. Hugo inflicted very severe water damage onresidential structures along the coastal belt spreading over one hundred miles in length. Damageby Andrew, on the other hand, was almost exclusively caused by high wind intensity.Accordingly, the structural damage modes were quite different. A case of reversing the roles ofHugo and Andrew was examined to call attention to the potential hazard of coastal communities. (Document has 70 pages.)

    Description: The effect of productivity on species variety has been studied by countsof diatom species on glass slides at favorable and unfavorable stations withinSilver Springs. Species variety has been presented in a measure that is independentof sample size, "species per cycle". This measure is based on the linear increase of accumulated species with logarithmic increase of individuals counted, which has been found approximately true for many kinds of populations in many communities. Diatom productivity was measured by the rate of chlorophyll accumulation. The poor station accumulated diatoms and chlorophyll slowly and was characterized by a large species variety. There was little change after 79 days. The rich station accumulated diatoms and chlorophyll rapidly and was characterized by a small species variety that decreased for 93 days as the density of the population increased. These results indicated that species variet was decreased by conditions of high productivity possibly through the action of high densities and competition.Twelve new diurnal production curves were obtained including two more on Silver Springs and one each for 10 different Florida Springs. A shallow oligohaline spring possessed the highest productivity of 58.0 gm/m2/day; a shaded and anerobic spring possessed the lowest producvitiy of 0.66 gm /m2/day. Findings in further studies in Silver Springs indicated a two fold diurnal chlorophyll fluctuation in the pseudoplankton going downstream, photosynthetic quotients corresponding to carbohydrate production on winter or heavily clouded days, and higher quotients corresponding to protein production on sunny, summer days; evidences that bell jar estimates of respiration in flowing water communities lead to underestimates; recalculation of mean depth of plant beds leads to a 5% estimate of photosynthetic efficiency for Silver Springs (rather than 8%). Correlated with a 20% decrease in the discharge associated with widespread drought in 1954-55 the oxygen of the main boil dropped from 2.5 ppm to 1.7 ppm. A production measurement by the diurnal oxygen and carbon-dioxide curve method was made in a somewhat isolated "boat basin." Efficiency of production in this stationary, plankton containing water of Silver Springs origin was about 1%. Further evidence was obtained of nitrate increase in water flowing from anaerobic springs over blue-green algae. The area based chlorophyll of the benthic Silver Springs community was similar to that in forests and lakes of Europe. (63 pages)

    Description: Peeler crabs are simply hard shell blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) that show signs of molting.The molting process, commercially called shedding, is when the hard shell is cast off and the new soft shellemerges. In the soft condition, the shell expands to a larger size before rehardening. Peeler crabs is the termgiven to blue crabs that are in a pre-molt stage. Identification of pre-molt crabs is the key to the success of softshell crab operations since prolonged time in a shedding facility increass the chance of mortality, requiresfeeding, decreases water quality and increases operating costs.

    Description: This bulletin describes artificial reef monitoring programs in Florida. At least half thenation’s human-made marine reefs are estimated to be in Florida waters and high interestexists statewide among fishing, diving, governmental, economic and other stakeholders in theperformance of these structures and the habitats that they create. Further, the level andbreadth of activity in Florida makes it a bellwether, nationally and worldwide, for interestsconcerned with aquatic science, ecosystem management and environmental technology forhabitat restoration or creation.Recent developments in Florida have prompted increased interest and effort in “monitoring”of reefs. These include extensive studies and disseminating results by the academicresearch community and the advent of governmental funding for monitoring projects in Floridacounties. In response, this study was undertaken to gauge this growing field. Assessment of reefperformance—including evaluation of how well they meet objectives for which they werecreated—has been a neglected subject in many areas of the world. More immediate issues ofreef materials selection, siting and deployment usually take precedence in the short-term.A principal readership for this paper is the network of county-level organizations andindividuals whose largely independent efforts, taken as a composite, make up much of theFlorida reef “program.” Information presented here describes the extent and nature of reefmonitoring in Florida counties, how data are managed and aspects of communication aboutreefs.

    Description: In November 1994, Amendment Three of theFlorida Constitution, otherwise known as the netban, was approved by voter referendum. Thisamendment made it unlawful to use entangling nets(i.e., gill and trammel) in Florida's waters. The useof other forms of nets, such as seines, cast nets, andtrawls, was restricted, but not totally eliminated.The primary species of finfish landed with entanglingnets included striped mullet, spotted sea trout,Spanish mackerel, sheepshead, pompano and bluefish.About two dozen species tend to school inshallow water which made the use of gill and trammelnets an efficient harvesting method. This fact sheet indicates some of the measured changes that have occurred.(3pp.)

    Description: Florida Sea Grant, having been involved in the developnent of the Florida soft crab fishery since 1978, decided that an evaluation of the status of this fishery was necessary to determine to what extent Sea GrantExtension activities would be needed to further its development. To that end, this author, in cooperation with Florida Sea Grant marine extension agents and specialists, conducted a survey of the 1983 soft crab producers.Out of 28 identified blue crab shedding operations known to be producing soft shell crabs in 1983, 22 (78.6%) cooperated in filling out a fishery questionnaire which included sections describing their shedding facility,harvest methods, product types, production and sales data, and production costs. The reminder of this paper will be the findings of that survey. (12pp.)

    Description: The critical need to predict the turbidity in water due to fine-grained sediment suspensionunder wave action over mud deposits for sedimentation and erosion studies, as well assorbed contaminant transport, is well known. Since fall velocities of fine sediment particlesare very small, they can be easily transported by hydrodynamic flows such as waves andcurrents. The presence of these particles in the water column affects accoustic transmission,heat absorption and depth of the eutrophic zone (Luettich et al., 1989). Because these sedimentsalso have a strong affinity for sorbing nutrients and toxic chemicals, sediments whichhave been deposited on the bottom may function as a source of contaminants to the watercolumn if they are disturbed by eroding forces resulting, for instance, from wave action. Anoutstanding example of a water body for these problems is Lake Okeechobee, the largestshallow lake in Florida. This lake shows typical signs of artificial eutrophication mainly dueto increased phosphorus loading associated with the surrounding region. Resuspension of sediment at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee composed of fine-grainedmaterial has been examined. A sediment transport model was used to simulate likelytrends in the evolution of the vertical suspended sediment concentration profile resultingfrom wave action, and the corresponding eroded bed depth was calculated through massbalance. Requisite information on characteristic parameters and relationships related tofine sediment erodibility were derived from field sampling of bottom sediment in the lake,and through laboratory experiments using this sediment and lake water.

    Description: Based on a report by the Wakulla County Solid Waste Director (Appendix II),approximately 17% of the solid waste entering the county landfill each year iscomprised of processing wastes from the counties' 13 blue crab processing plants.Eleven of these plants were being serviced by Tri-county Refuse of Apalachicolafor $12.50/4 cubic yard container/pick-up. The other two plants were bringingtheir wastes to the landfill themselves in barrels.Overall, blue crab processing wastes require special handling during dailylandfill operations to reduce odors, mainly additional soil coverage. Also, dueto normal crab plant operations crab scrap waste is generally delivered to thelandfill late in the day making handling difficult before landfill closing time.As a result of these handling problems, blue crab processing wastes are presentlycosting an estimated 25% of the landfill operating budget per month during peakproduction months, April - November.

    Description: The Cabo Rojo Salt Flats, at the southwestern tip ofPuerto Rico, provide important autumn stopover and winteringhabitat for migratory shorebirds. I studied the abundanceand distribution of shorebirds and their food resources atthis site during autumn of 1990 and 1991.Small calidrids (primarily Calidris pusilla and C.mauri) were the most abundant shorebirds at the salt flats.The maximum weekly counts of small calidrids in 1990 (2,690)and 1991 (3,532) occurred in mid October. Calidrids foragedprimarily in the Fraternidad lagoon system; roosting tookplace most often at the neighboring Candelaria Lagoon.The macroinvertebrate prey important to calidrids in theFraternidad system were Dasyhelea (Diptera), Trichocorixa(Hemiptera), and Artemia (Anostraca). Changes in invertebrateabundance coincided with fluctuations in salinity. (100 page document)

    Description: West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus) occur throughout the year inrivers, estuaries and coastal areas of Florida (Moore 1951, Hartman 1974,Irvine and Campbell 1978, Irvine et al. 1981). Manatees are widely dispersedalong the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts of the southeastern U.S. during the summermonths and aggregate at traditional warm water wintering sites during coolermonths (Hartman 1974, Powell and Waldron 1978, Rose and McCutcheon 1980,Rathbun et al. 1982, Powell and Rathbun 1983, Shane 1983). Their winterrange on the east coast of Florida extends as far north as Jacksonville(Hartman 1974, Rathbun et al. 1983, Kinnaird and Valade 1983) but manateesare sighted most frequently in the northeastern region of the peninsuladuring the summer months (Moore 1951, Hartman 1974, Irvine and Campbell1978). Recent evidence suggests that manatees in northeastern Florida arenot discrete subpopulations and that manatees make seasonal north/southmigrations along the eastern coastal waterways (Hartman 1974, Shane 1983,Rathbun et al. 1983, Kinnaird and Valade 1983).Northeastern Florida has the highest known manatee mortality in thestate, including the highest incidence of deaths due to collisions withboats, particularly in the St. Johns River and Brevard County (O'Shea et al.in prep.). It is difficult to develop wise management policies for thisregion because spatial and temporal use of northeastern Florida by manateeshas not been fully documented. The nature and extent of boat traffic alsohas not been described. I conducted aerial surveys for one complete year over the lower reachesof the St. Johns River and the northeastern section of the ICW (southernVolusia County to Kings Bay, Georgia) to document the spatial and temporalpatternLt~at characterize manatee use of northeast Florida, and to describethe nature and extent of boat traffic. The development of managementpractices based on these patterns should help minimize resource conflicts andpossibly reduce manatee boat/barge mortality. (60 page document)

    Description: This report documents breeding numbers, reproductive success, and foragingdispersion of long-legged wading birds in the Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) of theEverglades during the first six months of 1993. Briefly, the 1993 spring had abnormallyhigh water and windy conditions throughout the season, and produced poor nesting effort,low to moderate nesting success, and low production of young. Some species, like WoodStorks and White Ibises, did not nest at all in the WCAs. Others, like Great Egrets andTricolored Herons, showed considerably tenacity under the extremely poor nestingconditions. The 1993 season provided a rare chance to record the reproductive responses ofwading birds during sustained high water conditions. (108 page document)

    Description: Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a growing threat to the survival of green turtle,Chelonia mydas, populations worldwide and has been shown to be affectingloggerhead, Caretta caretta, and olive ridley, Lepidochelys olivacea, populations aswell. Transmission studies in captivity carried out by this laboratory have demonstratedthat FP in green turtles is caused by an infectious subcellular agent. (Herbst, et al,1995), (Herbst et ai, 1996a). We have demonstrated a new Chelonid herpesvirus inexperimentally induced and spontaneous fibropapillomas of green turtles using electronmicroscopic,molecular, and serological techniques (Jacobson et ai, 1991), (Herbst, etai, 1995), (Herbst, et ai, 1996b), (Lackovich, et al 1998a), (Herbst, et ai, 1998), (Garber,et al 1998). Recent studies by others have confirmed our early characterization of thisvirus as a member of the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily (Quackenbush, et al, 1998,Herbst, et al, 1996b, Garber, et ai, 1998).Although this herpesvirus is considered a candidate for the etiology of FP, it hasnot yet been cultivated in vitro. Fulfillment of Koch's postulates through a controlledtransmission study using cultured herpesvirus would test its role as the etiologic agentof FP. These studies were initiated to provide previously unavailable information aboutthe prevalence of this virus in tumors and skin of green and loggerhead turtles in Floridaand to attempt to cultivate it in vitro.

    Description: Eglin AFB on Cape San Blas consists of approximately 250 acres located about180 miles east of the main Eglin reservation. This area lies on the S1. Joseph peninsula,part of a dynamic barrier island chain that extends across the northern Gulf of Mexico.Due to the natural forces that formed Cape San Blas and those that maintain this area, St.Joseph Peninsula has experienced severe land form change over time (see GIS land formchange maps). These changes allow for fluctuations in habitat types along Cape San Blas(see GIS land cover change maps)that influence the floral and faunal species using thisarea.The dynamic environment along Cape San Blasincludes flatwoods, interdunalswale, rosemary scrub, and beachfront. These habitats support a wide array of species,including several threatened and endangered species such as the loggerhead sea turtle(Caretta caretta), PipingPlover (Charadnus melodus), Least Tern (Sterna antillarum),and Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). Proper management of these species and theirhabitats require knowledge of their abundance and distribution, and the effectsdisturbances have on their survival.In addition to threatened and endangered flora and fauna, Cape San Blas alsosupports tourists and recreationists. Although Gulf County is sparsely populated, withapproximately 13,000 inhabitants throughout 578 square miles, summer tourism and heavyrecreational use of beaches for fishing, crabbing, and shelling place continued andincreasing pressure on the natural resources of these areas (Rupert 1991). Gulf County isalso one of the few remaining counties in Florida that permits vehicular traffic on itsbeaches, including Cape San Blas. In addition to recreational use of these habitats;EAFBalso uses the area for military missions. Air Force property on Cape San Blas is primarilyused for radar tracking of flying missions over the Gulf of Mexico, although in recentyears it has been used for missile launchings and other various military activities.To allow continued military and public use of Air Force property while alsoprotecting the unique flora and fauna of the area,EAFB proposed a characterization of theresources found along Cape San Blas. A complete inventory of the physical features of thearea included investigating topography, soil chemistry, hydrology, archeology, and thedynamics of land mass and land cover change over time. Various thematic layers within ageographic information system (GIS) were used to spatially portray georeferenced data.Large scale changes over time were assessed using stereo aerial photography. Vegetationtransects, soil samples, elevation transects, an archeological survey, freshwater wells, anda tidal monitor were used to investigate the remaining features. (247 page document)

    Description: Research conducted under this RWO from July 1, 1997 through June 30, 2000 hasprovided important new information about the pathogenesis, virology, andimmunology of marine turtle fibropapillomatosis. In particular, we have providedstrong evidence for the association of a herpesvirus with fibropapillomatosis of thegreen turtle,Chelonia mydas, and the loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta, in Florida. Inaddition we have provided new evidence for the absence of papillomaviruses fromsea turtle fibropapillomas. Although unsuccessful, important new attempts were madeto cultivate the FP-associated herpesvirus in vitro in collaboration with the NationalWildlife Health Center. During this period of time, we completed publication of the firstcomprehensive description of the comparative pathology and pathogenesis ofexperimentally induced and spontaneous fibropapillomas of green turtles (Cheloniamydas). We initiated innovative studies on the persistence of a Chelonianherpesviruses in the marine environment demonstrating for the first time that theenvironmental survivability of Chelonian herpesviruses makes them real threats tomarine turtle health. Finally, we explored development of a serological assay for FPusing synthetic herpesvirus peptides and developed methodologies for detection ofantibodies to LETV [Iung-eye-trachea virus] a disease-associated herpesvirus of thegreen turtle, Chelonia mydas.. This last initiative is ongoing and will further our effortsto develop specific immunological assays for the FP-associated herpesvirus and FP. (17 page document)

    Description: A fixed-bed hydraulic model of Jupiter Inlet, Florida, wasconstructed for the purpose of testing measures designed to remedyproblems of sediment erosion and deposition in the inlet area. Bothtide-induced flows as well as waves were simulated in the model whichwas built on an undistorted scale of 1:49. Model verification was basedon prototype measurements of waves, tides and currents. Results havebeen interpreted in terms of the influence of various proposed remedialschemes on flow velocity magnitude, distribution and wave height atvarious locations within the study area. A stability parameter has beenutilized for evaluating the degree of sediment erosion or deposition ata given location.Various structural solutions were examined in the model. It isproposed that, in the initial phase of solution implementation, sedimentremoval/nourishment methods be used primarily to mitigate the existingproblems. New structures, as per model test results, should beinstalled under subsequent phases, only if sediment managementprocedures do not prove to be adequate. The currently followedprocedure of periodic sand trap dredging may be extended to include thenew dredging/nourishment requirements. (PDF contains 245 pages.)

    Description: This study presents the third post-nourishment survey (January 1989) results forthe Sand Key Phase II beach nourishment project carried out in June, 1988. Themonitoring program to this beach nourishment project is a joint effort betweenthe University of South Florida and University of Florida. The field surveysinclude a total of 26 profiles, encompassing approximately 3 miles of shorelineextending from DNR R-96 to R-1ll. The total calculated volume loss of sand inthe nourished segment (from R-99G to R-107) between the July 88 and January 89surveys is 51,113 cubic yards, which is a loss about 9.7 percent of 529,150 cubicyards actually placed in the nourishment project. The total loss of sand computedin the entire survey area is 26,796 cubic yards, which is only 5.1 percent of thesand placed in the nourishment project. It is stressed that a part of these netvolume reductions is due to the background erosion and not due to spreading lossesinduced by the nourishment project. (PDF contains 168 pages.)

    Description: The objectives of this study were 1) to determine the maximum structure-inducedlocal sediment scour depths for the proposed bridge piers for the Merrill BarberBridge over Indian River on.State Road 60 in Indian River County, Florida and 2) todetermine the feasibility of predicting equilibrium local scour depths near complexmultiple pile bridge piers from bottom shear stresses on the prescoured bed. Aseries of hydrodynamic tests were conducted in a laboratory flume (100 ft long x 8 ftwide x 2 ft deep) where flow velocities near model piers were measured with a twocomponent constant temperature anemometer at a height of 3 mm above the bed. Bottomshear stresses were then estimated from the flow measurements. The piers (which are1/15 scale models of proposed Merrill Barber Bridge piers) consisted of thirtysixsquare piles (3 columns of 12) and a pile cap that was positioned at differentelevations above the bottom. Two different pile cap shapes were also considered. Asimple relationship between the prescoured bottom shear stress and the equilibriumlocal scour depth was postulated.Sediment scour tests were then conducted in the same flume with the samemodels. The average duration of these tests was 28 hours. Scour depths weremeasured periodically throughout these tests using an acoustic transponder. Thescour measurements were used 1) to establish the maximum scour depths for the MerrillBarber Bridge piers and 2) to calibrate and test the scour-shear stress relationship.Even though the range of conditions tested was somewhat limited, the approach appearspromising and should be pursued further. A number of interesting findings were maderegarding the rate at which scour occurs in these complex structures. (Document contains 134 pages.)

    Description: This report presents the results of laboratory studies which were carried out in the Coastaland Oceanographical Engineering Laboratory to investigate the effects of ground water tableelevations on the beach profile changes over the swash zone. The experiment was conducted atthree different water table levels while the other experimental conditions were fixed to constantvalues with regular waves. The water table levels included (1) normal water table level whichis the same as mean sea level, (2) a higher level and (3) a lower level than the mean sealevel. Special attention was given to the higher water level to investigate whether this levelenhances erosion of the beach face and also to methods of interpreting the experimental data.The experiment described herein was carried out with a fairly fine sand and has demonstratedthe significance of beach water table on profile dynamics. The increased water table levelcaused distinct effects in three definite zones. First, erosion occurred at the base of the beachface and the sand eroded was carried up and deposited on the upper portion of the beachface. Secondly, the bar trough deepened considerably and rapidly and the eroded sand wasdeposited immediately landward. This depositional area changed from mildly erosional tostrongly depositional. Third, the area seaward of the bar eroded with a substantial deepening.The lowered water table appeared to result in a much more stable beach and the resultingeffects were much less. The only noticeable trend was a limited deposition in the scour area atthe base of the beach face. (Document has 37 pages.)

    Description: The focus of this study was the flow patterns of a flood tide near an inlet. The objectiveswere to examine flood flow patterns with particular reference to non-uniform or selectivewithdrawal as influenced by bottom topography and longshore currents, and to test theapplicability of conceptually simple analytic solutions to realistic sandy inlet bottom topographies,which often include an ebb shoal. Specifically, the applicability of three analytic solutions, twoof which include offshore selective withdrawal, to modeling of tidal water withdrawal duringflood tide under variable bottom topography and varying ratios of longshore current to inletvelocity, was examined. The three analytic solutions, including those for a horizontal (flat)bottom, a linearly sloping bottom and a logarithmically sloping bottom, together with a uniformlongshore current, were derived using potential flow theory. These solutions exhibit uniformlydistributed flows, selective offshore withdrawal, or an exaggerated offshore withdrawal,respectively, depending on the bottom slope. In order to investigate the flow patterns that exist during flood flow at a real inlet, experiments were conducted in a fixed bed hydrodynamic modelof Jupiter Inlet, Florida. Measurements were made to determine streamlines and velocities. Afield study at the prototype also tracked drogue patterns to determine streamlines and velocities.The physical model tests compared well with the field data. Comparison of thelaboratory and field data was then made to the analytic solutions to determine whether thetopography at Jupiter Inlet, which includes a well-developed ebb shoal, simulates a flat, meanlinearly or logarithmically sloping bottom. By comparing velocities at six selected points, asignificant relationship between the physical model and field data to the flat bottom analyticsolution was evident. The physical model tests and field data suggested that the flood tidal prismwas drawn from the region predominantly shoreward of the ebb shoal, thus implying a nearshoreselective withdrawal. Because the flood tidal prism was drawn from the nearshore, the flowpatterns at Jupiter Inlet did not resemble the analytic solutions of a linearly or logarithmicallysloping bottom, even though over a relatively long distance offshore, the bottom topography doesslope offshore at this inlet. In general, different inlet topographies would lend themselves todifferent analytic solutions, two examples being 1) the linearly sloping bottom of Koombana BayInlet, Australia, which shows an offshore selective withdrawal and 2) the basin-like nearfieldtopography of Jupiter Inlet which shows a more uniform nearshore withdrawal. The implicationsof this study are relevant to inlet management issues such as the mining of an ebb shoal for useas a source of beach sediment and changes in larval transport patterns due to jetty modifications.

    Description: From June 1983 t o June 1984, the senior author examined the habitatassociations and seasonal succession of early life history stages of fishesof Orange Lake, Alachua County, Florida (Conrow 1984). The study includedan evaluation of three sampling gears -- a 0.5-m diameter tow net, a Bredertrap (a plastic trap with leaders; Breder 1960), and a light trap (Floyd et al. 1984).A total of 23 fish species was captured during the study. Illustrations and identifying characteristics of 18 of these are presented, alongwith brief mention of habitat associations and seasonal occurrences. Notethat all illustrations and identifications were made from ish captured inthe field and are therefore not definitive. Identifications were based ondescriptions in the literature and, when possible, comparisons with knownseries. Species reported from Orange Lake (Reid 1950; DuRant 1980; Conrow1984) but not considered in this report are listed on page 41.Orange Lake has a surface area of approximately 5000 hectares and amaximum depth o f 3.5 meters (Fig. 1).

    Description: Cape San Bias is located on a barrier spit, St. Joseph peninsula, between St. Joseph Bay and the Gulf of Mexico in Gulf County, Florida (Fig. 1). Locally, the name of the cape is often used to refer to the entire peninsula. St. JosephPeninsula State Park (SJPSP) comprises the northern 10 miles of the 22 mile-long peninsula. This section is closed to development and provides protection for representative coastal habitats, including sand dune and scrub pine. Two other parks are found on the peninsula, Joe B. Rish Park, a state-managed facility for the handicapped, and county-managed Salinas Park. Much of the cape itself fallsunder the domain of Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) (775 acres), and includes 2.8 miles of shoreline. The remainder of the peninsula is privately owned land developed principally for beach residences. All beach on the peninsula below mean highwater is state-owned with Gulf County exercising proprietary jurisdiction. Cape San Bias (outside the state park) is the only area in the Florida panhandle, other than short stretches of shore in Walton County, where beach driving is still allowed. Vehicular access to the shore is managed by Gulf County under a permit system. Although beach driving is valued by local surf anglers and beachfarers, concerns have been raised regarding its effects on beachfarer safety, habitat quality, and wildlife, particularly locally occurring species that are federally listed as endangered or threatened. Eglin AFB property on the cape is believed to provide important regional habitat for a variety of nesting and migrant shorebirds, as well as nesting loggerhead marine turtles (Caretta caretta). The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the magnitude and types of vehicular traffic on Eglin AFB property; (2) assess current knowledge of federally listed species on Cape San Bias to determine distribution, habitat needs and other biological requirements; (3) conduct surveys of marine turtle nesting activities in cooperation with other entities on the peninsula; (4) assess the relationship between human/vehicular disturbance and the federally listed species; (5) conduct a winter survey of federally listed shorebirds on Air Force property; and (6) providemanagement options.

    Description: We have developed immunological tests that can identify marine turtles in Florida (green and loggerhead) that have been exposedto the LETV herpesvirus. The seroepidemiological data collected provides critical evidence about the relationship betweeninfection with the FP-associated herpesvirus and the LETV herpesvirus. The data supports the hypothesis that LETV and FPHVinfections are independent infections of marine turtles. The data shows that wild green turtles in Florida are exposed to theLETD-associated herpesvirus, which is the first description ofLETV infection in free-ranging marine turtles. To our knowledge,the antigenic proteins identified in this study are not only the first proteins from a reptilian herpesvirus to be cloned andexpressed, but they represent the first reptilian herpesvirus proteins to be identified as immunogenic in their host species.

    Description: To predict the hydrodynamics of lakes, estuaries and shallow seas, a two 'dimensionalnumerical model is developed using the method of fractional steps. Thegoverning equations, i.e., the vertically integrated Navier-Stokes equations of fluidmotion, are solved through three steps: advection, diffusion and propagation. Thecharacteristics method is used to solve the advection, the alternating direction implicitmethod is applied to compute the diffusion, and the conjugate gradient iterativemethod is employed to calculate the propagation. Two ways to simulatethe moving boundary problem are studied. The first method is based on the weirformulation. The second method is based on the assumption that a thin water layerexists over the entire dry region at all times. A number of analytical solutions areused to validate the model. The model is also applied to simulate the wind drivencirculation in Lake Okeechobee, Florida.(135 page document)

    Description: The importance of international markets as a source of live, ornamental “fish” supply is growing dueto more stringent wild-harvest regulations in Florida. In addition, foreign markets are increasing inimportance as a source of demand for Florida purveyors of live, ornamental “fish”. Florida plays animportant role in this growing international market. Trends in imports and exports of live,ornamental “fish” are described for two primary data sets: U.S. Customs and U.S. Fish and WildlifeService. These trends are described primarily for the 1994-98 period for Florida and the UnitedStates. Florida imports and exports are described for the two major ports: Miami and Tampa. Themost important trading countries are also described. This information will help Florida purveyors oflive, ornamental “fish” better understand the international markets upon which they have becomemore dependent. (PDF has 18 pages)

    Description: Production measurements at different times of the year indicate a linear relationship of light intensity and overall production at about 8% of the visible light energy reaching plant level. Measurements of a coral reef at Eniwetok indicate 6%. Further evidence of breeding at all seasons but with a quantitative pulse in the seasons of maximum light indicates that the seasonal fluctuation in primary production is routed through reproduction rather than through major changes in populations. The succession of plants and anmals of the aufwuchs has been shown with glass slides and counts from Sagittaria blades. Losss of oxygen bubbles during the day and emergence of aquatic insects at night have been measured with funnels. Bell jar measurements are reported for bacterial metabolism on mud surfaces. pH determined CO2 uptake agrees with titration determinations. A few rough estimates of herbivore production have been made from caged snails, aufwuchs succession, and fish tagging. Nitrate uptake a night by aufwuchs communities has been confirmed in a circulating microcosm experiment as well as in bell jars in the springs. Distributions of oxygen and organisms have been used to criticize the saprobe stream classification system. Theoretical consideration of maximum photosynthetic rates in teh literature data indicates logarithmic rate variation inversely with organismal size just as for respiratory metabolism. Extreme pyramid shapes are thus shown for communities in which organismal size decreases up the food chain and for other communities with the same energy influx but with organismal size increasing up the food chain. Literature data is used to further demonstrate the validity of the optimum efficiency-maximum power principle for photosynthesis. Work on plants by Dr. Delle Natelson indicates essential stability of aquatic plant communities after 3 years and about 10-20% reproducibility in previous biomass estimates by Davis. Work on an animal picture of the fishery characteristics by Caldwell, Barry, and Odum is half completed. The study of aquatic insects in relationship to spring gradients by W.C. Sloan has been completed an an M.S. thesis. J. Yount has begun a study of affect of total productivity on community composition using aufwuchs organisms on glass slides placed in different current and light conditions in Silver Springs. (49pp.)

    Description: The Atlas of Artificial Reefs in Florida -- Fifth Edition, provides the public with information to locate artificial reefs constructed forfisheries enhancement, and for the enjoyment of fishing and diving by residents and visitors to Florida's coastal waters.This edition expands on the information that was included in earlier versions by adding thirty-five new permitted sites and 250additional components deployed on these and many pre-existing sites. A variety of sources of information have been utilized to acquire themost accurate and complete information in order to present the most up-to-date artificial reef listing possible for Florida. With the magnitudeof reef construction over the last 30 years there are potential opportunities for inaccurate information, especially with nearly 900 componententries on approximately 364 permitted sites.
