In 1895 Mr. F. H. Cushing, for many years connected with the Bureau of American Ethnology, made some very remarkable discoveries of aboriginal remains at Key Marco, on one of the chain of islands that fringe the southwest coast of Florida, forming the coastal border of the Florida Everglades on the Gulf of Mexico. Cushing described and illustrated in a preliminary report on his work some of the most important objects found at that time. Among the characteristic artifacts obtained by him were...

Cushing, for many years connected with the Bureau of American Ethnology, made some very remarkable discoveries of aboriginal remains at Key Marco, on one of the chain of islands that fringe the southwest coast of Florida, forming the coastal border of the Florida Everglades on the Gulf of Mexico. Cushing described and illustrated in a preliminary report on his work some of the most important objects found at that time. Among the characteristic artifacts obtained by him were several wooden objects so radically different from any found elsewhere in Florida shell heaps that he regarded them as typical of an aboriginal culture theretofore unrecorded. He thereby opened up a new chapter of archeological research in Florida.

Abstract/Description
-
An ichthyoplankton survey was carried on in Florida Bay and adjacent waters that focused on the abundance and distribution of larvae of four target species--red drum (Sciaenops ocellata), snook (Centropomus undecimalis), gray snapper (Lutjanus griseus), and spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus). Twenty sampling stations were established--eight to document larval entry into Florida Bay and adjacent estuarine waters, and 12 within Florida Bay and adjacent estuarine waters, to provide insight...
Show moreAn ichthyoplankton survey was carried on in Florida Bay and adjacent waters that focused on the abundance and distribution of larvae of four target species--red drum (Sciaenops ocellata), snook (Centropomus undecimalis), gray snapper (Lutjanus griseus), and spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus). Twenty sampling stations were established--eight to document larval entry into Florida Bay and adjacent estuarine waters, and 12 within Florida Bay and adjacent estuarine waters, to provide insight into larval fish distribution and movement. Spotted seatrout was the only target species whose larvae were regularly collected; gray snapper snook, and red drum apparently spawn outside of the park. Other findings include an abundance of gobiid larvae throughout the study sites. Maps of the study sites showing larvae distribution are included.
