  • Outlook of 2021 Sargassum Blooms in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf Of
    Outlook of 2021 Sargassum blooms in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico* May 31st, 2021, by University of South Florida Optical Oceanography Lab ([email protected]) The maps below show Sargassum abundance, with warm colors representing high abundance. In May 2021, the Sargassum amount continued to increase across the central west Atlantic (CWA) and the Caribbean Sea (CS), which also sets a new historical record for the month of May. Large amount of Sargassum was observed in CWA, i.e., the region east of the Lesser Antilles in the maps below, and in the entire CS. Moderate amount has been transported from the CS to the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), the Straits of Florida, and along the east coast of Florida following the Loop Current, Florida Current, and the Gulf Stream, respectively. Correspondingly, small amount of Sargassum was observed in the Straits of Florida and along the east coast of Florida with possible beaching events. On the other hand, significant beaching events may have occurred around most of the Caribbean nations and islands. Looking ahead, 2021 will be another major Sargassum year, and the Sargassum amount in the CS will likely increase continuously into the summer, accompanied with more beaching events. Meanwhile, Sargassum transport to the GoM will also continue, indicating more beaching events in the Florida Keys and along the east coast of Florida. We will keep a close eye on how Sargassum in the CS and GoM as well as in the tropical Atlantic may evolve in the next two months. More updates will be provided by the end of June 2021, and more information and near real-time imagery can be found under the Sargassum Watch System (SaWS, https://optics.marine.usf.edu/projects/saws.html).

  • Scrs/2014/176 Do Western Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Spawn Outside of the Gulf of Mexico?
    SCRS/2014/176 DO WESTERN ATLANTIC BLUEFIN TUNA SPAWN OUTSIDE OF THE GULF OF MEXICO? RESULTS FROM A LARVAL SURVEY IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN IN 2013 John T. Lamkin1, Barbara A. Muhling1,2, Estrella Malca1,2, Raúl Laiz-Carrión3, Trika Gerard1, Sarah Privoznik1,2, Yanyun Liu1,4, Sang-Ki Lee1,4, G. Walter Ingram Jr.1, Mitchell A. Roffer5, Frank Muller-Karger6, Josefina Olascoaga7, Laura Fiorentino8, Woody Nero1 and William J. Richards1 In 2013, a larval survey was conducted north and east of the Bahamas aboard the NOAA Ship NANCY FOSTER. Sampling areas were selected based on larval habitat model predictions, and daily satellite analysis of surface temperature and ocean color. Samples were collected at 97 stations, and 18 larval BFT (Thunnus thynnus) were found at 9 stations. Six of these stations came from oceanographically complex regions characterized by cyclonic and anticyclonic gyres. Larvae ranged in size from 3.22mm to 7.58 mm, corresponding to approximately 5-12 days in age. Analysis of satellite derived surface currents and CTD data suggest that these larvae were spawned and retained in this area. Larval habitat models show areas of high predicted abundance extending east to 650 W, but the actual extent of spawning in this area remains unknown.

It became apparent that knowledge of potential oil pathways in the case of a spill is important for preparedness and response. This study focuses on such scenarios from potential oil spills in the Cuban Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), a vast area in the GoM and the Straits of Florida that has not received much attention in oil spill studies, even though this region has been under evaluation for oil exploration. The Cuban EEZ is also in the crossroads of heavy tanker traffic, from the areas of intense oil exploration in the Northern GoM to the adjacent Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. The study also evaluates how the oil transport and fate are influenced by the main circulation patterns of the GoM, such as the Loop Current (LC) system and the mesoscale dynamics inside the Straits of Florida, such as the Florida Current (FC) and the accompanying cyclonic (along the northern Straits) and anticyclonic (along the Cuban coasts) eddies.

  • Water Mass Properties of the Straits of Florida and Related Waters)
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE OF THE GULF AND CARIBBEAN VOLUME 9 1959 NUMBER WATER MASS PROPERTIES OF THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA AND RELATED WATERS) M. P. WENNEKENS The Marine Laboratory, University of Miami ABSTRACT The hydrography of the Straits of Florida is greatly influenced by a flow of water originating in the Caribbean-Gulf of Mexico region and to a lesser extent by waters of the Western Atlantic. The Caribbean or Yucatan Water, identified by its well-defined salinity maximum, is found along the entire insular margin of the Florida Current. Evaporation and seasonal cooling modify the upper 300 m of the original Yucatan Water, creating new water masses in the northern and western Gulf of Mexico. The Continental Edge Water, a water mass somewhat intermediate between Yucatan and Western Gulf Waters, becomes well-differentiated in the eastern Gulf, being easily identified by temperature-salinity and oxygen-density relationships. The Continental Edge Water is found along the continental margin of the Florida Current throughout the length of the Straits. The influx of Western Atlantic Water is frequently observed in the northern Straits of Florida off Bimini, being detected by its higher oxygen content; it is restricted to a narrow band along the Bahama Banks. The study of oxygen distribution shows that Western Atlantic Water intermixes with the waters flowing out of the Straits of Florida. Present information on dissolved inorganic phos- phate is too unreliable to permit a critical study of its distribution. The Straits of Florida are part of an extensive sill preventing interchange of waters from depths greater than about 800 m between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.
