Title: 208 Water Quality Management Plan for Southwest Florida.
Name/Creator: Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council
Abstract/Description: The Southwest Florida 208 area is composed of six counties: Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Lee, and Sarasota. The overall goal of the 208 Program is to maintain or re-establish the high quality surface water of the region. The 208 Water Quality Management Plan for this area appears in three volumes. The first two volumes contain the text, and the third volume is the appendix.

Title: Dissolved Phosphorus in Florida Waters.
Name/Creator: Odum, Howard T.
Abstract/Description: The purpose of this study was to analyze representative samples of Florida surface waters for dissolved phosphorus, and to determine the relationships between dissolved phosphorus and: the geological rock formations underlying the area; the type of body of water; the formation of phosphate rock; the growth of aquatic organisms; pollution of streams and estuaries; and red tide.

Title: Estimates of Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus and Total Suspended Solids to Tampa Bay, Florida.
Name/Creator: Zarbock, Hans W., Janicki, Anthony J., Janicki, Susan S., Tampa Bay National Estuary Program
Abstract/Description: The objective of this study was to update estimates of total nitrogen (TN) loadings to Tampa Bay. A "best estimate" of the magnitude of annual TN loadings for 1992-94 was made using measured data for streamflow, surface water and groundwater quality, point source discharges, rainfall, and rain chemistry to the greatest extent feasible. Nonpoint source loads from areas of the watershed that did not have streamflow and water quality data available (ungaged areas) were modeled using the same...

Title: Factors Controlling Elevated Lead Concentrations in Water Samples from Aquifer Systems in Florida.
Name/Creator: Katz, Brian G., Florida, Geological Survey (U.S.)
Abstract/Description: This report presents results of detailed statistical analyses of total and dissolved lead concentrations in water samples collected from major aquifer systems in Florida for the Florida Ground Water Quality Monitoring Network to determine the influence of anthropogenic factors on elevated lead concentrations. In addition, lead isotopic data are presented for water samples collected from a subset of 13 wells in the monitoring network, samples of aquifer material, rainfall, and lead...
Show moreThis report presents results of detailed statistical analyses of total and dissolved lead concentrations in water samples collected from major aquifer systems in Florida for the Florida Ground Water Quality Monitoring Network to determine the influence of anthropogenic factors on elevated lead concentrations. In addition, lead isotopic data are presented for water samples collected from a subset of 13 wells in the monitoring network, samples of aquifer material, rainfall, and lead counterweights. The lead-isotope data provide a better understanding of the relative contributions of anthropogenic and natural sources of lead in ground water samples from Florida's major aquifer systems.

Title: Groundwater/Surfacewater Interactions in Tampa Bay: Implications for Nutrient Fluxes.
Name/Creator: Brooks, Gregg R., Dix, Thomas L., Doyle, Larry J.
Abstract/Description: The primary objective was to establish a rough estimate of the flux rates of nitrogen and phosphorus between two reservoirs based upon available data and compare them to rates determined for other sources. The purpose was to determine if groundwater may be considered a major mechanism for nutrient input to Tampa Bay.

Title: Mangrove decomposition: a pathway for heavy metal enrichment in Everglades estuaries.
Name/Creator: Mathis, Jane Macaulay., PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description: Red mangrove decomposition was studied as a natural pathway for heavy metal enrichment in estuaries of south Florida. Red mangrove leaves, major constituents of the highly organic suspended detritus of the estuaries, were analyzed in several decomposition stages for heavy metal concentratrion.

Title: Methodology for estimating nutrient loads discharged from the East Coast canals to Biscayne Bay, Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Name/Creator: Lietz, A. C.
Abstract/Description: The purpose of this report is to present methodology that can be used to estimate nutrient loads discharged from the east coast canals into Biscayne Bay in southeastern Florida. Graphical summaries have been created to compare medians and evaluate the distribution of nutrient concentrations in the east coast canal system based on land-use categories in the Biscayne Bay watershed. Vertical depth profiles of dissolved-oxygen, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen concentrations have been...
Show moreThe purpose of this report is to present methodology that can be used to estimate nutrient loads discharged from the east coast canals into Biscayne Bay in southeastern Florida. Graphical summaries have been created to compare medians and evaluate the distribution of nutrient concentrations in the east coast canal system based on land-use categories in the Biscayne Bay watershed. Vertical depth profiles of dissolved-oxygen, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen concentrations have been constructed to document horizontal and vertical variability within the canal system. A statistical approach is used to compare differences between point (grab) and depth-integrated samples (from the east coast canal sites) for total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations. A modeling technique is used for developing equations through simple linear regression analyses in order to estimate nutrient loads based on discharge. The nitrogen and phosphorus species described in this report include total organic nitrogen, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, nitrite plus nitrate nitrogen, total phosphorus, and orthophosphate. Most of the data presented in this report were collected from the east coast canal sites during the 1996 and 1997 water years. Data from one site (S-26 along Miami Canal) were collected from 1966 to 1996.

Title: Phosphorus Content of Waters Along the West Coast of Florida.
Name/Creator: Graham, Herbert William, Amison, John M., Marvin, Kenneth T., U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Abstract/Description: This 1954 document reports the distribution of inorganic and total phosphorus in the waters along the west coast of Florida for a period of more than 16 months. Some upwelling to subsurface levels is evident but no hydrographic feature occurs which could account for the high values of phosphorus found during the "red tide" of 1946-1947. There is no evidence that either leaching from the bottom of the Gulf or outflow from local rivers contributes large quantities of phosphorus to the Gulf...

Some upwelling to subsurface levels is evident but no hydrographic feature occurs which could account for the high values of phosphorus found during the "red tide" of 1946-1947. There is no evidence that either leaching from the bottom of the Gulf or outflow from local rivers contributes large quantities of phosphorus to the Gulf waters. However, values of total phosphorus comparable to those of the red tide were found in blooms of Trichodesmium floating on the surface over water of very low phosphorus content.

Title: Relative Abundance of Plankton off Naples, Florida, and Associated Hydrographic Data, 1956-57.
Name/Creator: Dragovich, Alexander.
Abstract/Description: Some chemical, physical, and plankton characteristics of the surface waters at Naples, Florida, were investigated. Concentrations of inorganic phosphate, total phosphate, nitrate-nitrite nitrogen, carbohydrate, and protein were determined over a period of 17 months. Water temperatures, salinities, occurrence, and composition of phytoplankton and zooplankton were also recorded.
