Creator

Abstract/Description
One of the largest restoration programs in the world, the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) aims to restore freshwater flows to the Everglades and Florida Bay estuary. Coupled with climate change, future changes from restoration highlight the need to implement an ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) approach in Florida Bay.

Show moreOne of the largest restoration programs in the world, the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) aims to restore freshwater flows to the Everglades and Florida Bay estuary. Coupled with climate change, future changes from restoration highlight the need to implement an ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) approach in Florida Bay. The Ecopath framework was used to develop and apply a mass-balanced food web model to the spatiotemporal dynamics of hydrological restoration and climate change through time. Results suggest Florida Bay is stabilized through large detrital energy pathways and low nutrient inputs, but subject to species distribution shifts due primarily to sea-level rise and salinity variation. A suite of winners and losers predicted provide an opportunity to ensure management strategies are designed appropriately to best achieve desired results for the future of the Florida Bay ecosystem.

Comparing salinity models in Whitewater Bay using remote sensing

Comparing salinity models in Whitewater Bay using remote sensing.
Creator
Selch, Donna, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Geosciences
Abstract/Description
This study compared models that used remote sensing to assess salinity in Whitewater Bay. The quantitative techniques in this research allow for a less costly and quicker assessment of salinity values. Field observations and Landsat 5 TM imagery from 2003-2006 were separated into wet and dry seasons and temporally matched. Interpolation models of Inverse Distance Weighting and Kriging were compared to empirical regression models (Ordinary Least Squares and Geographically Weighted Regression -...
Show moreThis study compared models that used remote sensing to assess salinity in Whitewater Bay. The quantitative techniques in this research allow for a less costly and quicker assessment of salinity values. Field observations and Landsat 5 TM imagery from 2003-2006 were separated into wet and dry seasons and temporally matched. Interpolation models of Inverse Distance Weighting and Kriging were compared to empirical regression models (Ordinary Least Squares and Geographically Weighted Regression - GWR) via their Root Mean Square Error. The results showed that salinity analysis is more accurate in the dry season compared with the wet season. Univariate and multivariate analysis of the Landsat bands revealed the best band combination for salinity analysis in this local area. GWR is the most conducive model for estimating salinity because field observations are not required for future predictions once the local formula is established with available satellite imagery.

Abstract/Description
Iron and manganese redox chemistry are important drivers of sulfur cycling in marine sediments. Florida Bay sediments are extremely sulfidic, having been attributed to mass mortality of seagrass and oxygen depletion in the water column. This research used conventional sediment analyses and a diagenetic model to infer the overall capacity for Florida Bay sediments to eliminate hydrogen sulfide and prevent high rates of sediment dissolved oxygen consumption via hydrogen sulfide reoxidation....
Show moreIron and manganese redox chemistry are important drivers of sulfur cycling in marine sediments. Florida Bay sediments are extremely sulfidic, having been attributed to mass mortality of seagrass and oxygen depletion in the water column. This research used conventional sediment analyses and a diagenetic model to infer the overall capacity for Florida Bay sediments to eliminate hydrogen sulfide and prevent high rates of sediment dissolved oxygen consumption via hydrogen sulfide reoxidation. Previous studies have suggested that iron is important for buffering hydrogen sulfide in Florida Bay sediments, while the results of this project show for the first time that this phenomenon is relevant only in specific locations and times of the year. However, my research indicates that Fe has the potential to sequester sulfides and minimize hypoxia in the Everglades system. Thus, under a scenario that greater amounts of Fe are delivered to Florida Bay sediments from freshwater flows under Everglades restoration, Fe could be a component of ecosystem management.

Sediment phosphorus fractionation in calcium carbonate sediments of northeastern Florida Bay

Sediment phosphorus fractionation in calcium carbonate sediments of northeastern Florida Bay.
Creator
Benz, Robert E., Jr., Florida Atlantic University, Koch, Marguerite
Abstract/Description
Different physiochemical processes control phosphorus storage in subtropical versus temperate estuaries; however, few studies are available on sediment phosphorus storage from the subtropics. In this study, solid-phase phosphorus pools of northeastern Florida Bay's sediments were examined by sequential chemical extractions, separating phosphorus into exchangeable, iron-bound, calcium-bound, and residual organic fractions. Calcium-bound phosphorus was the dominant fraction, accounting for...
Show moreDifferent physiochemical processes control phosphorus storage in subtropical versus temperate estuaries; however, few studies are available on sediment phosphorus storage from the subtropics. In this study, solid-phase phosphorus pools of northeastern Florida Bay's sediments were examined by sequential chemical extractions, separating phosphorus into exchangeable, iron-bound, calcium-bound, and residual organic fractions. Calcium-bound phosphorus was the dominant fraction, accounting for approximately 60% of the total phosphorus and 93% of the inorganic phosphorus. Residual organic phosphorus was the second dominant fraction, accounting for 37% of the total phosphorus. In contrast to calcium-bound and residual organic phosphorus, the concentration of iron-bound phosphorus was low, indicating a limited role of iron in long-term phosphorus storage. The fine-grained carbonate sediments of Florida Bay probably account for the large pool of calcium-bound phosphorus, while the proximity of the mangroves to the northeastern section of the Bay may account for the high residual organic pool of phosphorus.

AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE NURSERY EFFECT OF SELECT REEF FISHES ALONG THE SOUTHERN FLORIDA COAST.
Creator
Pressly, Andrew, Hindle, Tobin, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Geosciences, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
Abstract/Description
The nursery effect is a process where juvenile fish utilize coastal habitats to help them survive before moving to their adult habitat. This process establishes an important link between marine ecosystems. This study examines the nursery effect and nursery habitat utilization in the Indian River Lagoon and Florida Bay systems, and the coral reefs adjacent to them. Quantitative and spatial techniques were utilized to identify patterns of presence and abundance and the size structure of select...
Show moreThe nursery effect is a process where juvenile fish utilize coastal habitats to help them survive before moving to their adult habitat. This process establishes an important link between marine ecosystems. This study examines the nursery effect and nursery habitat utilization in the Indian River Lagoon and Florida Bay systems, and the coral reefs adjacent to them. Quantitative and spatial techniques were utilized to identify patterns of presence and abundance and the size structure of select fish species. Spatial analyses were also used to investigate distribution patterns. Findings from this study suggest that several species utilize to a high degree the Indian River Lagoon and Florida Bay as nurseries. Furthermore, the abundance of adults on coral reefs is strongly connected to the presence of nurseries. This study has implications in fisheries management such as locating where juveniles of species develop. With such knowledge, better management plans could be implemented to ensure healthy fish stocks.
