    Climate Change: Effects on Salinity in Florida's Estuaries and Responses of Oysters, Seagrass, and Other Animal and Plant Life

    SGEF-218 Climate Change: Effects on Salinity in Florida’s Estuaries and Responses of Oysters, Seagrass, and Other Animal and Plant Life1 Karl Havens2 Summary generated by wind, so water moves in and out much like it does in the ocean.) Florida’s economically important estuaries could be heavily impacted by sea-level rise and altered river flow, both caused by climate change. The resulting higher salinity, or saltiness of the water, could harm plants and animals, alter fish and bird habitat, and reduce the capacity of estuaries to provide such important services as seafood production and the protection of shorelines from erosion. Introduction Estuaries are one of the most productive kinds of ecosys- tems on earth, and they support a high diversity of fish, birds, and other kinds of plants and animals. Estuaries are bodies of water along the coastline that can be relatively enclosed bays or wide marshes at river mouths. They are places where fresh water from rivers mixes with saltwater from the sea, creating a place with intermediate salinity. On average, the salinity of the open ocean is 35 parts per thousand (ppt). The salinity of rivers can range from 0.1 to 5 ppt. In estuaries, salinity is highly variable because of tidal effects and because of variation in freshwater inflow from rivers (Figure 1). (While the term estuary is mostly used Figure 1. Salinity, typically measured in units of parts per thousand for coastal systems where salty and fresh water mix, since (ppt), is the amount of salt that is present in water. In freshwater lakes, springs, and ponds it usually is near zero.

There were lots of speed bumps in the road but here I am once again with a number of nice decoys to fit every pocketbook thanks to a lot of help from family, some very good friends and loyal consignors. Due to health problems I was unable to attend the Mid-West Decoy Collector’s Show for the first time in 40 years. Thanks to Bill LaPointe and Jim King for attending the show for me and exhibiting the decoys. There is absolutely no way I could have pulled this together without family and friends. If I may use a baseball analogy, it really came down to the last of the ninth, two outs and the count at three and two before we managed to scratch out a hit and round out the offerings.
