Kushlan, James A., Baumann, M. Christine, McEwan, Linda C.
- Abstract/Description
-
The wading birds of south Florida have attracted the attention of naturalists, biologists and conservationists for decades. These species of herons, ibis, spoonbils, and storks have figured importantly in national and international conservation efforts and in the establishment of natural preserves such as Everglades National Park and Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Regional population decreases caused initially by hunting and then by loss of habitat are well known.

Show moreThe intent of this report is to provide a bibliography of the hydrologic literature, both historic and current, concerning the Everglades area, which includes the Conservation Areas and Everglades National Park, and the Big Cypress Swamp, which includes the Big Cypress National Preserve (Figure 1 and 2). These areas represent the southern portion of the Kissimmee River- Lake Okeechobee Watershed, with the Conservation Areas and the Big Cypress providing the bulk of the overland flow into the Park (Figure 3). The hydrology of the basin is a system of complex relationships, and determines the unique ecological environment of the area. Through man's manipulations in his efforts to farm, urbanize and industrialize South Florida, he has altered the historic flow regime of the area. This in turn affected the biological environment in a chain reaction attendant to such a sensitive, interdependent system.

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.

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.

Show moreThis study documents the recent environmental history of northern Biscayne Bay using vertical aerial photographs combined with field studies and supplemented with data onthe pre-urban setting and the timing of urban developments and natural stresses. Aerial photographic surveys from 1925 and 1976 provided the basis for mapping important changes in terrestrial and submerged bay bottom environments. Where major changes were identified, aerial photography from numerous intermediate dates yielded additional information on the timing and specific character of change., The maps delineate overall long-term increases in developed land and disturbed bottom areas (dredged and spoil bottoms), decreases in mangrove land and benthic vegetation areas, and changes in man-grove, bulkheaded, and sloping shorelines in the Bay. Man induced changes were found to pervasive on land and along shorelines. Dredging and island construction within the Bay has disturbed 19 percent of the existing bay bottom. The major changes in the character of the Bay's terrestrial margins were caused by filling of swamps, expansion of original land areas, and the creation on new islands. Changes in the benthic environments result from: 1) circulation changes related to inlet and causeway construction, 2) direct dredging operations, and 3) increasing turbidity levels. Benthic vegetation has decreased over most of the study area except in the northernmost areas where substantial increases occurred following the opening of Bakers Haulover Inlet., Aerial photographs record the effects of the major hurricanes of the 1920's and 1930's. These storms destroyed large acreages of coastal mangroves and they produced localized erosion of benthic plant communities. The amount and location of change produced by each storm was highly variable and some small storms had significant effects., Analysis of sediment cores taken in substrates distrubed at known times yielded long-term sedimentation rates of 2.9 to 3.4 mm per year for northern Biscayne Bay.

Bottlenose dolphins are usually sighted in coastal and estuarine waters of Florida, and may remain in some areas throughout the year. Seasonal changes in local distribution and abundance have only been documented in a few areas for manatees or dolphins. The distribution of manatees and dolphins in various habitat types and salinities in Florida also is unclear.

Haake, P. William., Dean, John Mark., PALMM (Project)
- Abstract/Description
-
Small fishes of the families Cyprinodontidae and Poeciliidae are an important component of the Everglades food chain. To determine the age of these fish, the daily growth increments in the otoliths (calcium deposits found in the inner ear of teleost fishes) were counted. The hypothesis that the growth rate of the fish is affected by the season of the year was tested. Photomicrographs of the otolith are included.

There were no differences in mean length among areas of capture. Annulus formation occurred in spring (March-May). Ages of fish were mainly 4-5 year-olds. Recruitment to the fishery began at age 2 and was completed at age 6., The overall sex ratio favored males 3/1 and there were no differences in mean age of fish among areas of capture. Mean calculated growth of all snook was 375 mm FL in the first year and 57-90 mm thereafter. Calculated fish lengths at age differed among areas of capture and sexual differences in length-weight relationship were noted. Annual mortality rate of all fully recruited fish was 78%. Sexual differences in mortality rates were discussed.

Together these national park areas preserve a portion of the Everglades ecosystem. Crossing a mosaic of environments, from freshwater sawgrass marsh to saltwater mangrove forest, the Tamiami Trail offers travellers a scenic overview of Everglades' environments. Prior to completion, it took early explorers eighteen days to make the trek across the watery wilderness of the Everglades. Today the trip is made in a few hours or a few days, depending upon the pace and curiosity of the traveler.

As part of this SEIS it is important to analyze potential noise impacts in the areas surrounding the airport. An integral part of this undertaking is the comprehensive definition of the associated sound level environment. The FAA and USAF, with the assistance of the Acoustics Facility at the United States Department of Transportation's John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, conducted ambient sound level measurements during the period August 10 through 20, 1998. In total, over 160 hours of acoustical and meteorological data were measured at 29 sites throughout Biscayne National Park, Everglades National Park, Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge, and the southern portion of Big Cypress National Preserve. This document summarizes this comprehensive noise measurement study. Also included is a description of the enhancements made to the FAA's Integrated Noise Model (INM) in Support of the Homestead SEIS.

We need to educate concerned citizens that the American crocodile is a shy animal that rarely attacks unless provoked. Everglades restoration can be linked with crocodile ecology; the health of the Everglades corresponds with the health of crocodile populations. By using crocodiles as indicators of the success of restoring natural freshwater flows to estuaries, we can accomplish goals of increasing crocodile populations and Everglades restoration.

Show moreThe Interim Operational Plan, or IOP, for water deliveries to Everglades National Park (ENP) is the most recent in a long series of water management plans designed to provide water supply to the park. The specific purpose of this operational plan, however, is to create more favorable hydrologic conditions within ENP for the protection of the endangered Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow (Ammodramus maritimus mirabilis) and its designated critical habitat. Control and manipulation of water deliveries to ENP have been practiced for approximately four decades. Throughout this long period, the often conflicting needs of the natural environment and the needs of the built environment have complicated the decision-making process regarding water deliveries to the park; often resulting in neither set of needs being fully met. IOP presents a new version of this challenge. It seeks to avoid jeopardizing the existence of a species endemic to a portion of the ecosystem in the short-term before restoration of the greater ecosystem can be effected in the longer-term.

The project area is located southeast of St.Cloud in Osceola County,Florida. During the drawdown, approximately 3,450 acres of bottom sediments will be exposed, simulating the historic cycle of flood and drought which maintained the lakes' ecological balance. Also associated with the drawdown will be the removal of approximately 475,000 cubic yards of organic material (muck) from the lake bottom. This habitat enhancement project was initiated by public concerns for protection of their resource. Although the lakes' water quality is good, the prospect of cleaner shorelines, less nuisance vegetation and organic material, and an improved sport fishery has engendered a great deal of support for this project from homeowners and other area residents who utilize these lakes (see Appendix A for more detailed overview of the proposed drawdown project).

These results were also compared with data collected daily at three long-term NOAA stations located on the periphery of the study area. A comparison between managed surface water inflows and uncontrolled precipitation contributions to the slough during this time was also made. Data from the three long-term NOAA stations were further used to compute a reconstruction of direct rainfall inputs into the slough on a monthly and yearly basis for the period 1952 to 1979.

The Shark River Slough, the largest freshwater flow system in the park, is the southernmost remnant of a much larger freshwater drainage system. Extensive man-made alterations to the naturalflow pattern for the purposes of flood control, land reclamation and water storage have greatly altered the hydrological regime north of the Everglades National Park. It was not until 1972 that the systematic analysis of the most important nutrient parameters, including total ammonia, total nitrite, total organic nitrogen, total orthophosphorus, total phosphorus, total inorganic carbon, total organic carbon and total carbon of the Shark River Slough was begun. It is the purpose of this paper to utilize this database in order to assess surface water nutrient conditions in the Shark River Slough from 1972-1980.
