Title: A Biological Investigation of the Caloosahatchee Estuary of Florida.
Name/Creator: Gunter, Gordon., Hall, Gordon E., Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (Ocean Springs, Miss.)
Abstract/Description: Tracings: G491.5, G491.6., A Biological sampling program in the lower Caloosahatchee River and estuary was conducted during the years 1957 through 1960. It studied the effects of Lake Okeechobee discharge and local runoff through the Caloosahatchee River on the fishes and animals of the estuary. This report presents biological and ecological data from the study. It is similar to a report published in 1962, under the title: Biological Investigations of Caloosahatchee Estuary in Connection with...

Title: Effects of Nitrogen and Phosphorus dditions on Phytoplankton Productivity and Chlorophyll in a Subtropical Estuary, Charlotte Harbor, Florida.
Name/Creator: Montgomery, Ralph T., McPherson, Benjamin F., Emmons, Edward E., Geological Survey (U.S.), Florida
Abstract/Description: This report presents the results of a study to evaluate the effects of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus additions on phytoplankton productivity and chlorophyll-a concentrations in a subtropical Florida coastal plain estuary and assesses the potential effects of increased nutrient concentrations on future phytoplankton production within the Charlotte Harbor system. The results of this estuarine phytoplankton productivity study are discussed in terms of the seasonal and areal variations in...
Show moreThis report presents the results of a study to evaluate the effects of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus additions on phytoplankton productivity and chlorophyll-a concentrations in a subtropical Florida coastal plain estuary and assesses the potential effects of increased nutrient concentrations on future phytoplankton production within the Charlotte Harbor system. 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.

Title: Exchange Processes in Shallow Estuaries.
Name/Creator: Lee, Thomas N., Rooth, Clase
Abstract/Description: A modular approach to the analysis of mixing and flow characteristics in shallow tidal estuaries is presented using south Florida's Biscayne Bay as an example. The method depends on isolating relatively simple characteristic flow regimes in different parts of an estuary. These can be considered as building blocks, which when recombined in different configurations are capable of yielding a qualitative model for a specific estuary. Such models are of immediate value in preliminary assessments...

The method depends on isolating relatively simple characteristic flow regimes in different parts of an estuary. These can be considered as building blocks, which when recombined in different configurations are capable of yielding a qualitative model for a specific estuary. Such models are of immediate value in preliminary assessments of estuarine water quality and interaction problems. This method can provide a base for further studies where more precise information is needed.

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: Principles of Ecosystem Management.
Name/Creator: Clark, John R., Sarokwash, Paul J.
Abstract/Description: This paper attempts to provide a background for decision-making, and to suggest a framework for management practice which will lead to achievement of best ecosystem function for the mangrove-fringed estuaries of south Florida.

Abstract/Description: The technical symposium documented by these proceedings was one of the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program's first projects. It highlighted the Program's goals for education, information management, and synthesis of existing data. The technical symposium combined invited and contributed papers to review the status and trends of resources bearing on major problem sets of the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program.

Title: The Role of Mangrove Ecosystems: Biomass Determinations in Shallow Estuaries : Technique Evaluation and Preliminary Data.
Name/Creator: Seaman, William., Adams, Clayton A., Snedaker, Samuel C., University of Florida, United States
Abstract/Description: A new type of portable drop net was developed and used to quantitatively harvest fishes from sample areas in shallow estauaries. The technique is shown to be suitable for sedentary benthic and vegetation-inhabiting fishes, including eels, gobies, gerreids, syngathids, and juvenile pinfish, sciaenids, and flat fishes. The technique and preliminary results are evaluated and compared with reports in the literature describing techniques to estimate fish biomass.

Title: Water movements in shallow coastal bays and estuaries.
Name/Creator: Lee, Thomas N., Rooth, Claes
Abstract/Description: A modular approach to the analysis of mixing and flow characteristics in shallow tidal estuaries is presented using as an example the South Florida Biscayne Bay estuary. The method depends on isolating realtively simple characteristic flow regimes in different parts of an estuary. These can be considered as building blocks which, when recombined in different configurations, are capable of yielding a qualitative model for any specific estuary.
