BENTHIC ECOLOGY OF THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY AND ADJACENT CANAL SYSTEMS AT BOCA RATON, FLORIDA
Title
THE BENTHIC ECOLOGY OF THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY AND ADJACENT CANAL SYSTEMS AT BOCA RATON, FLORIDA.
Creator
WEBB, ALLEN DALE, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
Benthic samples collected in April, August, and December, 1974 at 23 stations provided quantitative data on the macroinvertebrate communities in the intracoastal waterway and adjacent finger canals at Boca Raton, Florida. Distribution and structure of these communities in relation to station location and sediment type are discussed. The five top-ranked species in this study were the amphipods Ampelisca abdita and Grandidierella bonnieroides, the polychaetes Paraprionospio £innata and...
Show moreBenthic samples collected in April, August, and December, 1974 at 23 stations provided quantitative data on the macroinvertebrate communities in the intracoastal waterway and adjacent finger canals at Boca Raton, Florida. Distribution and structure of these communities in relation to station location and sediment type are discussed. The five top-ranked species in this study were the amphipods Ampelisca abdita and Grandidierella bonnieroides, the polychaetes Paraprionospio £innata and Streblospio benedicti, and the bivalve Mulinia lateralis. Three station assemblages based on faunal similarities were designated. Highest diversity (H') and species richness (spp/180) values were found at intracoastal waterway stations. These stations were characterized by sediments with relatively high sand and low organic percentages. Stations located within finger canals were characterized by sediments with high silt-clay fractions, high organic percentages, and low numbers of species and individuals.

EXPECTED COSTS AND REVENUES TO THE CITY OF BOCA RATON AS A RESULT OF ANNEXATION OF THE RESERVE AREA
Title
EXPECTED COSTS AND REVENUES TO THE CITY OF BOCA RATON AS A RESULT OF ANNEXATION OF THE RESERVE AREA.
Creator
MORIN, THOMAS LENDLEY, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
The purpose of this study was to determine what budgetary costs and revenues the City of Boca Raton would incur if municipal jurisdiction and services were extended to a 10,100 acre tract of land located to the west of the city. The projections of costs and revenues were made for both the present level of development and for the area at full development. The conclusion of the study is that should annexation occur, revenues from the Reserve Area would equal or exceed the costs of providing...
Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine what budgetary costs and revenues the City of Boca Raton would incur if municipal jurisdiction and services were extended to a 10,100 acre tract of land located to the west of the city. The projections of costs and revenues were made for both the present level of development and for the area at full development. The conclusion of the study is that should annexation occur, revenues from the Reserve Area would equal or exceed the costs of providing municipal services at both levels of development. Early annexation would result in increased revenues from construction related permits and fees.

Mapping urban growth in Boca Raton Florida, over a thirty year period
Title
Mapping urban growth in Boca Raton Florida, over a thirty year period.
Creator
Breary, Gillian., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Geosciences
Abstract/Description
The rapid increase of urban growth is a major issue for many regions around the world, which result in astounding loss in farmlands and increase in population densities. It important that urban growth be monitored as it will aid the local government in implementing the appropriate measures for a growing population. The city of Boca Raton, Florida, is the case study for this research. A multi-temporal analysis is done of five Landsat satellite images over a thirty year time period, 1973-2002....

It important that urban growth be monitored as it will aid the local government in implementing the appropriate measures for a growing population. The city of Boca Raton, Florida, is the case study for this research. A multi-temporal analysis is done of five Landsat satellite images over a thirty year time period, 1973-2002. Textural analysis was performed on each of the images, to delineate the urban areas. Three by-products resulted from the textural analysis: time series tinted overlays, dasymetric mapping and a series of animated maps, showing the movement of growth across the landscape through time. All the resulting products of the time series analysis were used to show the magnitude and direction of growth over time.

INVESTIGATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE DILUTION AND DISPERSION OF WASTEWATER FROM AN OCEAN OUTFALL ON THE CONTINENTAL SHELF

INVESTIGATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE DILUTION AND DISPERSION OF WASTEWATER FROM AN OCEAN OUTFALL ON THE CONTINENTAL SHELF.
Creator
MURRAY, JAMES BURKE., Florida Atlantic University, Venezia, William A., College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering
Abstract/Description
Experimental data fr6m a study of the Boca Raton ocean outfall on December 16, 1980 is presented. A vertical plane near the outfall was mapped using a Neil Brown CTD; a horizontal plane at a depth of one meter was profiled with a towed instrument platform housing two temperature probes and a fluorometer. The relevance of this data with respect to mathematical modeling is discussed. Coherence analysis of the sensor outputs show that temperature sensors alone cannot be used to reliably map the...

Creator
Leung, Tania, Root, Tara L., Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Geosciences
Abstract/Description
In recent decades, ecohydrology has received renewed attention because of the impacts of groundwater withdrawal on ecosystems. Growing population and urban expansion in Palm Beach County, FL. place pressure to eradicate natural areas, such as Florida scrub habitats, and increase groundwater withdrawal. This study presents preliminary results of soil and hydrological characterization of an ecological preserve surrounded by changing land use. Soil moisture and water levels were monitored to...
Show moreIn recent decades, ecohydrology has received renewed attention because of the impacts of groundwater withdrawal on ecosystems. Growing population and urban expansion in Palm Beach County, FL. place pressure to eradicate natural areas, such as Florida scrub habitats, and increase groundwater withdrawal. This study presents preliminary results of soil and hydrological characterization of an ecological preserve surrounded by changing land use. Soil moisture and water levels were monitored to assess the effects of precipitation as influenced by plants and soil analysis determined the suitability of current soil conditions for hosting native vegetation habitats. Hydrologic and soil conditions on the preserve fall within values expected for native Florida scrub habitats. Hydrologic response to precipitation varied due to factors including antecedent conditions and vegetation types. These results provide a better understanding of the interactions between soil proper ties, hydrologic cycle, and plants, and assist with establishing a baseline to monitor changes over time.
