Title: Multi-Species Recovery Plan for the Threatened and Endangered Species of South Florida.
Name/Creator: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Abstract/Description: Draft plan for recovery and restoration of listed endangered species and their habitats in South Florida., This draft plan identifies the recovery needs of the 68 threatened and endangered species in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's South Florida Ecosystem. In addition to these species, the plan also identifies the management needs of other species that depend upon the same ecological communities, or habitats, as the federally-listed threatened or endangered species. These species include...

In addition to these species, the plan also identifies the management needs of other species that depend upon the same ecological communities, or habitats, as the federally-listed threatened or endangered species. These species include plants or animals that are listed as threatenedor endangered by the State of Florida, and species that are endemic to south Florida. These species are included in Volume II in the treatments that address the ecological communities of south Florida.

Title: An Ecological Characterization of the Caloosahatchee River/Big Cypress Watershed.
Name/Creator: Drew, Richard D., Schomer, N. Scott., United States, National Coastal Ecosystems Team (U.S.), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Abstract/Description: This report reviews and synthesizes the literature on the ecology of the Caloosahatchee River/Big Cypress watershed. The first part describes the geology, physiography, climate, and characteristics of ground and surface waters. The remainder of the report focuses on plant succession and communities, and with the watershed's fish and wildlife, their habitats and habitat preferences.

Title: Habitat Suitability Index Models: Pine Warbler.
Name/Creator: Schroeder, Richard L., Western Energy and Land Use Team, Biological Services Program (U.S.), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Abstract/Description: A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habitat Suitability Index model for the pine warbler. The model is scaled to produce an index of habitat suitability between 0 (unsuitable habitat) and 1 (optimum habitat). Habitat suitability indices are designed for use with the Habitat Evaluation Procedures previously developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

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.

Also included are types of dredging equipment, characteristics of dredged material, evaluation of dredged material pollution potential, and habitat development and enhancement opportunities arising from dredged material disposal. The review contains a brief discussion of the state of knowledge and refers the reader to pertinent literature for additional information. The discussions about impacts and habitat development are divided into "Coastal Waters" (including disposal in estuarine, continental shelf, and deep ocean waters) and "Rivers". A limited dscussion of the "Great Lakes" is included as an appendix.
