  • Florida Historical Uarterly
    The Florida Historical uarterly APRIL 1970 PUBLISHED BY THE FLORIDA HISTORICAL SOCIETY FRONT COVER “A View of Pensacola in West Florida” is a black and white engraving published and dedicated by George Gauld to Sir William Burnaby, rear admiral and commander of the British fleet at Jamaica. From the British ensigns on the vessels and the flag flying from the flagstaff, this is obviously a picture of Pensacola during the British period. Since Gauld’s name is not mentioned in any reference sources as an engraver, and since such a skill is not mentioned in his book, it is unlikely that he was the engraver of this picture, but he probably drew the sketch of the scene from which it was made. The engraving is in the Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress. Gauld, surveyor of the coasts of Florida, was born in 1732 at Ardbrack, Bamffshire, and he was educated at King’s College, Aberdeen. In 1763 he was appointed to make a survey of all newly acquired English territory in the West Indies, and in March of the following year he sailed aboard the Tartar for Jamaica to join Burnaby’s fleet. In August 1764 he accompanied Sir John Lindsay to Pensacola and he may have made a sketch of the harbor at that time. He was a friend of Philip Pittman, author of The Present State of the European Settlements on the Mississippi . (1770), and Thomas Hutchins whose An Historical Narrative and Topogaphical Description of Louisiana, and West-Florida was published in 1784. They helped him draft charts and plans of West Florida.

Governor Bob Martinez Center Noah Valenstein 2600 Blair Stone Road Secretary Tallahassee, FL 32399-2400 June 16, 2020 Dear Floridians: It is with great pleasure that we present to you the 2020 Integrated Water Quality Assessment for Florida. This report meets the Federal Clean Water Act reporting requirements; more importantly, it presents a comprehensive analysis of the quality of our waters. This report would not be possible without the monitoring efforts of organizations throughout the state, including state and local governments, universities, and volunteer groups who agree that our waters are a central part of our state’s culture, heritage, and way of life. In Florida, monitoring efforts at all levels result in substantially more monitoring stations and water quality data than most other states in the nation. These water quality data are used annually for the assessment of waterbody health by means of a comprehensive approach. Hundreds of assessments of individual waterbodies are conducted each year. Additionally, as part of this report, a statewide water quality condition is presented using an unbiased random monitoring design. These efforts allow us to understand the state’s water conditions, make decisions that further enhance our waterways, and focus our efforts on addressing problems.

  • Your Guide to Eating Fish Caught in Florida
    Fish Consumption Advisories are published periodically by the Your Guide State of Florida to alert consumers about the possibility of chemically contaminated fish in Florida waters. To Eating The advisories are meant to inform the public of potential health risks of specific fish species from specific Fish Caught water bodies. In Florida February 2019 Florida Department of Health Prepared in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Agriculture and Consumer Services, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission 2019 Florida Fish Advisories • Table 1: Eating Guidelines for Fresh Water Fish from Florida Waters (based on mercury levels) page 1-50 • Table 2: Eating Guidelines for Marine and Estuarine Fish from Florida Waters (based on mercury levels) page 51-52 • Table 3: Eating Guidelines for species from Florida Waters with Heavy Metals (other than mercury), Dioxin, Pesticides, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), or Saxitoxin Contamination page 53-54 Eating Fish is an important part of a healthy diet. Rich in vitamins and low in fat, fish contains protein we need for strong bodies. It is also an excellent source of nutrition for proper growth and development. In fact, the American Heart Association recommends that you eat two meals of fish or seafood every week. At the same time, most Florida seafood has low to medium levels of mercury. Depending on the age of the fish, the type of fish, and the condition of the water the fish lives in, the levels of mercury found in fish are different. While mercury in rivers, creeks, ponds, and lakes can build up in some fish to levels that can be harmful, most fish caught in Florida can be eaten without harm.

  • Lake Iamonia Habitat Enhancement Leon County, FL
    Aquatic Habitat Conservation & Restoration | Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Lake Iamonia Habitat Enhancement Leon County, FL Introduction Lake Iamonia, near Tallahassee in the northeast corner of Leon County, is regionally famous for quality sunfish fishing and waterfowl hunting. The 5,757-acre lake exchanges water with the Ochlockonee River during periods of flooding. The majority of the lake’s surface is covered by lily pads and other aquatic vegetation. Lake Iamonia is shallow and contains sinkholes, most of them inactive. Because the lake has a large connected sinkhole, called Iamonia Sink, which drains the lake during severe droughts, natural “drydown” events occurred in 1910, 1917 and 1934. In 1938, an earthen dam was constructed around Iamonia Sink to prevent the lake from disappearing and “save the lake.” This well-intentioned effort prevented the lake from going through natural drought cycles, accelerating the accumulation of organic sediments (muck) on the lake bottom. Although muck development is a natural process, the rapid and excessive accumulation of this material hinders fish reproduction, reduces oxygen levels in the water, fosters floating plant island (tussock) formation and reduces recreational opportunities. Objectives Approach During natural “drydowns,” conduct mechanical removal of excess aquatic plants and associated organic sediments. Muck is most economically removed using conventional heavy equipment on a dry lake bottom. During periods of natural drought, Create additional fish spawning habitat by removing muck such as the Lake Iamonia drydown, the lake water gradually down to the historic mineralized soils. recedes, allowing for most aquatic animals (turtles, fish, and alligators) to seek refuge. A work site is selected near an approved Using mechanical means, reduce the number and volume upland disposal area.
