Following extensive seagrass die-offs of the late 1980s and early 1990s, Florida Bay reportedly had significant declines in water clarity due to turbidity and algal blooms. Scant information exists on the extent of the decline, as this bay was n[...]

The fauna of seagrass-covered mud banks in Florida Bay, documented in the mid 1980s prior to recent seagrass die-off, phytoplankton blooms, and other ecosystem changes, was reexamined in the mid 1990s for faunal changes that might be associated [...]

Analysis of 6 yr of monthly water quality data was performed on three distinct zones of Florida Bay: the eastern bay, central bay, and western bay. Each zone was analyzed for trends at intra-annual (seasonal), interannual (oscillation), and long[...]

We compared (1) ichthyoplankton composition and (2) basin and channel habitat ichthyofauna and sea grass densities between 1984-1985 and 1994-1996 in Florida Bay. Stations and sampling techniques employed in 1984-1985 were duplicated in the 1994[...]

A large environmental restoration project designed to improve the hydrological conditions of the Florida Everglades and increase freshwater flow to Florida Bay is underway. Here we explore how changing freshwater inflow to the southern Everglade[...]

Historically, large volumes of fresh water from the Everglades reached Florida Bay in the form of overland sheet flow. South Florida's extensive canal system has diverted fresh water from its historic course, resulting in shorter hydroperiods an[...]

Understanding the natural spatial and temporal variability that exists within an ecosystem is a critical component of efforts to restore systems to their natural state. Analysis of benthic foraminifers and molluscs from modern monitoring sites w[...]

Two modeling approaches were used to explore the basis for variation in recruitment of pink shrimp, Farfantepenaeus duorarum, to the Tortugas fishing grounds. Emphasis was on development and juvenile densities on the nursery grounds. An explorat[...]

Stable isotopic ratios of carbon and oxygen (delta(13)C and delta(18)O) from mollusk shells reflect the water quality characteristics of Florida Bay and can be used to characterize the great temporal variability of the bay. Values of delta(18)O [...]

The Florida Bay ecosystem has changed substantially in the past decade, and alterations in the seagrass communities have been particularly conspicuous. In 1987 large areas of Thalassia testudinum (turtlegrass) began dying rapidly in western Flor[...]

This paper wilt discuss the use of chemical proxies in coral skeletons to reconstruct the history of salinity (from the delta(18)O of the skeleton) and nutrients in the water (from the delta(13)C) in Florida Bay between 1824 and 1994. Monthly sa[...]

The American crocodile was declared endangered in the United States in 1975. At that time 75% of the remaining crocodile nests were in Everglades National Park, in Florida Bay. In 1980, the National park Service established a crocodile sanctuary[...]

Florida Bay exhibits highly dynamic hydrographic regimes that influence variability in the retention, survivorship, and migration of pink shrimp, Farfantepenaeus duorarum, larvae and juveniles. Florida Bay is the nursery habitat for pink shrimp [...]

Beginning in late 1987 Florida Bay experienced a large and unprecedented die-off of Thalassia testudinum. The die-off occurred only in stands of dense T. testudinum. We initiated an experimental monitoring effort in 1989 to attempt to ascertain [...]

Florida Bay is a unique subtropical estuary at the southern tip of the Florida peninsula. Recent ecological changes (seagrass die-off, algal blooms, increased turbidity) to the Florida Bay ecosystem have focused the attention of the public, comm[...]
