    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 goals of this research and monitoring effort are to document nesting effortand roughly categorize success of nesting by wading birds in the central Everglades ofFlorida, and to investigate the causes of nonbreeding in a high proportion of the adultwading birds in the ecosystem The latter goal has focused on breeding of White Ibises(Eudocimus albus) and has been approached through 1) understanding the nutritional,behavioral, and hormonal aspects of normal breeding in a captive colony ofScarlet Ibises(considered conspecific to White Ibises) in central Florida, and 2) comparing breeding andnonbreeding wild White Ibises in the Everglades, in their physiology, nutritional state,breeding phenology, contaminant load, and hormonal status. This report covers work onthis project between January and November, 2000. (81 page docoument)

    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: This comprehensive final report summarizes the results of a four-year researchand monitoring effort (1998 - 2001) designed to document nesting effort and success bywading birds, and to investigate the reproductive physiology and ecology of White Ibises(Eudocimus albus) in the Everglades ecosystem. The monitoring of nesting has beenaccomplished bystandardized systematic aerial and ground surveys and study of nestingsuccess of nesting colonies in Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) 2 and 3 ofthe centralEverglades. The White Ibis work was accomplished through 1) investigation of thenutritional, behavioral, and hormonal aspects of "normal" breeding in a captive colony ofScarlet Ibises (Eudocimus ruber, considered by many to be the same species as the WhiteIbis), and 2) documenting the physiology, nutritional state, breeding phenology,contaminant load, and hormonal status of free- living adult White Ibises in the centralEverglades.

    Description: The South Florida Ecosystem encompasses an area of approximately 28,000 km2 comprising at least 11major physiographic provinces, including the Kissimmee River Valley, Lake Okeechobee, the Immokalee Rise, theBig Cypress, the Everglades, Florida Bay, the Atlantic Coastal Ridge, Biscayne Bay, the Florida Keys, the FloridaReef Tract, and nearshore coastal waters. South Florida is a heterogeneous system of wetlands, uplands, coastalareas, and marine areas, dominated by the watersheds of the Kissimmee River, Lake Okeechobee, and theEverglades.Prior to drainage, wetlands dominated the ecosystem, covering most of central and southern Florida. Thelandscapes included swamp forests; sawgrass plains; mosaics of sawgrass, tree islands, and ponds; marl-formingprairies dominated by periphyton; wet prairies dominated by Eleocharis and Nymphaea; freshwater marshes;saltwater marshes; cypress strands; and a vast lake-river system draining into Lake Okeechobee. Elevated areasthat did not flood supported pine flatwoods, pine rocklands, scrub, tropical hardwood hammocks, and xerichammocks dominated by oaks. The natural seascapes of South Florida consisted of riverine and fringe mangroveforests; beaches and dunes; seagrass beds; intertidal flats; mud banks; hardbottom communities; coral reefs; andopen, inshore shallows. All these habitats were interconnected on an extremely low topographic gradient (2.8cm/km) with elevations ranging from about 6 m at Lake Okeechobee to below sea level at Florida Bay.The Science SUb-Group (1993) described the defining characteristics of the South Florida Ecosystem and the problems that resulted from hydrologic alterations and other anthropogenic changes.Restoration objectives were proposed for each sub-regionand the region as a whole.The overall goal of the restoration effort is to restore a sustainable South Florida Ecosystem that preservesthe valued properties of South Florida's natural systems and supports productive agriculture-, fishery-, and tourist.based economies and a high quality of urban life. Sustainability means high natural productivity, human andecosystem health, and resiliency to climatic extremes and catastrophic events. It also means accommodation ofneeds of human systems-flood control, irrigation, and drinking water supply.SCOPEThis section addresses the entire ecosystem, cutting across the artificial boundaries of designatedsubregions, as well as geopolitical and geomorphological boundaries, to present the broader issues of deVelopingan interagency and interdisciplinary ecosystem-based science program to support South Florida restoration. Herewe discuss the general premise and the general approach, with brief discussions on monitoring, modeling, andspecial studies. The latter two topics are covered in greater detail in other sections.

    Description: Diking and holding water on salt marshes ("impounding" the marsh) is amanagement technique used on Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge(MINWR) and elsewhere in the Southeast to: a) prevent the reproduction ofsaltmarsh mosquitos, and b) attract wintertering waterfowl and other marsh,shore, and wading birds. Because of concern that diking and holding watermay interfere with the production of estuarine fish and shellfish,impoundment managers are being asked to consider altering managementprotocol to reduce or eliminate any such negative influence. How to changeprotocol and preserve effective mosquito control and wildlife management isa decision of great complexity because: a) the relationships betweenestuarine organisms and the fringing salt marshes at the land-water interfaceare complex, and b) impounded marshes are currently good habitat for avariety of species of fish and wildlife. Most data collection by scientistsand managers in the area has not been focused on this particularproblem. Furthermore, collection of needed data may not be possible beforechanges in protocol are demanded. Therefore, the purpose of this documentis two-fold: 1) to suggest management alternatives, given existing information,and 2) to help identify research needs that have a high probabilityof leading to improved simultaneous management of mosquitos, waterfowl,other wildlife, freshwater fish, and estuarine fish and shellfish on themarshland of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
