  • Blue-Green Algal Bloom Weekly Update Reporting June 26 - July 1, 2020
    BLUE-GREEN ALGAL BLOOM WEEKLY UPDATE REPORTING JUNE 26 - JULY 1, 2020 SUMMARY There were 14 reported site visits in the past six days (6/26-7/1), with 16 samples collected. Algal bloom conditions were observed by the samplers at 11 sites. Satellite imagery from 6/29 shows bloom potential in Lake Okeechobee on approximately 45% coverage concentrated in the center of the lake, while visible portions of the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie rivers and estuaries show no observable bloom activity. Over the course of the week, the area of potential algal bloom has decreased in open waters and intensified along the northwestern and northeastern shorelines. Satellite imagery from 6/29 for the St. Johns River is partially obscured by cloud cover, but shows little bloom potential in visible portions of Lake George or on the mainstem of the St. Johns River downstream of Lake George. The imagery indicates there may be an uptick on some of the lakes associated with the St. Johns River System. Please keep in mind that bloom potential is subject to change due to rapidly changing environmental conditions or satellite inconsistencies (i.e., wind, rain, temperature or stage). On 6/29, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) staff sampled the C43 Canal – Upstream of S77, C43 – Upstream of S79 and Lake Okeechobee – S308C (Lakeside). The Lake Okeechobee – S308C sample and C43 Canal – Upstream of S79 were both dominated by Microcystis aeruginosa, while the C43 Canal – Upstream of S77 had no dominant algal taxon. No cyanotoxins were detected in these three samples. On 6/29, the St.

Gopher Frog Genetics ABSTRACT Florida represents the last stronghold for the gopher frog, Rana (=Lithobates) capito, which has experienced serious declines in the rest of its range. Florida gopher frog populations have also experienced declines, particularly in the panhandle, primarily due to habitat degradation and reduction of gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) populations. Understanding gene flow and genetic diversity is necessary to determine whether populations will remain viable over time and whether additional management actions are needed in cases where populations have become isolated due to manmade barriers. The first objective of this study was to determine the amount of gene flow and degree of genetic variation among populations in 15 different geographical locations of known or suspected occupancy (areas of occupancy or AOs) that may be genetically isolated by natural or manmade barriers.
