- 1983-1988 completion report, South Region fisheries management: Peace River fish population monitoring and sunshine bass stocking evaluation.
- Name/Creator
-
Florida, Champeau, T. R.
- Abstract/Description
-
The objective of this study was to update the ichthyofaunal data base through a comprehensive five-year sampling program. The fish community was evaluated in order to determine the biotic integrity of the Peace River. In this study, biotic integrity was qualitatively evaluated by integrating the following parameters: fish abundance and biomass, species richness, composition and diversity.

Show moreThis 3-year cooperative investigation was begun in 1967 by the U.S. Geological Survey at the request of the Southwest Florida Water Management District as part of their continuing program of water-resources investigations within the Management District. The purpose of the investigation was to provide a generalized description of the hydrology of Charlotte County and to identify the major hydrologic problems of the county, particularly with respect to use of ground and surface water for public supply. Because most of the available surface-water resources in the County had already been developed, emphasis was placed on evaluating the ground-water resources. This report summarizes the findings of the investigation.

The results of this estuarine phytoplankton productivity study are discussed in terms of the seasonal and areal variations in ambient-nutrient concentrations and hydrologic conditions. The potential implications that increased anthropogenic-nutrient inputs may have on primary productivity within specific hydrologically defined areas of the harbor are also examined.

Boggess, Durward H., Geological Survey (U.S.), Florida, Lee County (Fla.)
- Abstract/Description

Upward leakage of saline water from deep artesian wells has caused widespread deterioration in quality of water in the shallow artesian aquifers underlying Lee County, Florida. The water-table aquifer has been affected similarly when saline water from the deep artesian wells has been allowed to discharge at the surface, or when corroded well casings have developed leaks at shallow depth. A program is underway (1972) in Lee County and adjacent areas to minimize or eliminate these problems by...
Show moreUpward leakage of saline water from deep artesian wells has caused widespread deterioration in quality of water in the shallow artesian aquifers underlying Lee County, Florida. The water-table aquifer has been affected similarly when saline water from the deep artesian wells has been allowed to discharge at the surface, or when corroded well casings have developed leaks at shallow depth. A program is underway (1972) in Lee County and adjacent areas to minimize or eliminate these problems by plugging deep artesian wells. Although a large number of wells has been plugged in Lee County as well as in other areas, little documentation has been obtained concerning the residual effects on quality of the water in the intruded aquifers after elimination of the discharge or leakage. The purpose of this report is to present the results of an investigation wherein the quality of water in the water-table aquifer improved after a deep artesian well was plugged.

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.

Information was obtained in regard to wells, the water-bearing formations, the quality of water, and the general geologic conditions that govern the occurrence of the ground water. Measurements were made periodically on numerous observation wells. Automatic water-stage recorders, which give continuous records of the fluctuations of the water levels, were installed on two non-flowing wells, and recording pressure gauges were installed on three flowing wells that were shut down and not in use. Altitudes of some of the observation wells were determined, so that the height of water in them with reference to sea level may be accurately determined.

Lake levels in the vicinity of Tampa were lower than usual during the decade of 1961 to 1971, largely because of deficient rainfall. The problem was also aggravated locally by the lowering of the ground-water levels caused by pumping at the Section 21 well field of the city of St. Petersburg. The lakes in this area are hydraulically connected with the aquifer system.

Carrotwood (Cupaniopsis anacardioides) was first identified as a potentially invasive tree in 1989, approximately ten years after it became popular as a landscape tree. Since then, seedlings to medium-sized trees have established themselves outside of cultivation in disturbed sites and undisturbed natural areas. Birds disperse the seeds, and contribute to a rapidly expanding wild population that includes isolated islands. As of 1996, carrotwood has invaded a wide variety of habitats in 14...
Show moreCarrotwood (Cupaniopsis anacardioides) was first identified as a potentially invasive tree in 1989, approximately ten years after it became popular as a landscape tree. Since then, seedlings to medium-sized trees have established themselves outside of cultivation in disturbed sites and undisturbed natural areas. Birds disperse the seeds, and contribute to a rapidly expanding wild population that includes isolated islands. As of 1996, carrotwood has invaded a wide variety of habitats in 14 southern and central Florida counties. Wild carrotwood has become reproductive in three counties. Presence of carrotwood is involved in alteration of the natural species diversity of mangrove and coastal hammock communities. The invasibility of carrotwood has been compared to Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius). The distribution of wild carrotwood also coincides with that of all three mangrove tree species.
