  • Experience Ocean, Lakes Abd Everglades in the Palm Beaches
    YEAR 2017 Experience Ocean, Lakes and Everglades in The Palm Beaches, Florida Discover the best way to experience Florida’s great outdoors, unique wildlife and natural beauty in The Palm Beaches. Situated between 47 miles of Atlantic Ocean and the shores of Lake Okeechobee, the largest lake in the southeastern United States, The Palm Beaches is the gateway to the Everglades and home to treasured animal sanctuaries, untouched nature preserves and a diverse range of soft adventure activities. TAKE A HIKE (OR PICTURE) Beauty is just a short hike away. The terrain is mostly flat, but tropical trees and plants abound with exotic wonder. Trek alongside wetlands in the Everglades or through wide-open wet prairie, no matter the trail, hikers will find sunshine serenity. DuPuis Management Area – Canal Point, FL The DuPuis Management Area is a 21,875-acre multi-use natural area located in the northwestern part of The Palm Beaches. The park land is interspersed with numerous ponds, wet prairies, cypress domes, pine flatwoods and remnant Everglades marsh. The area provides miles of hiking and horseback trails, an equestrian center, graded vehicle roads, backpack and group campsites as well as seasonal hunting. DuPuis is far from urban areas, and its dark night sky lends itself to excellent stargazing. Harold A. Campbell Public Use Area This site covers 17,000 acres on the southern border of The Palm Beaches, making it the largest constructed wetland in the world. Its public use area provides access to vast wetland habitat where bicyclists, hikers and birdwatchers can see a variety of wildlife native to Florida.

  • SEBASTIAN RIVER SALINITY REGIME Report of a Study
    Special Publication SJ94-SP1 SEBASTIAN RIVER SALINITY REGIME Report of a Study Part I. Review of Goals, Policies, and Objectives Part II: Segmentation Parts III and IV: Recommended Targets (Contract 92W-177) Submitted to the: St. Johns River Water Management District by the: Mote Marine Laboratory 1600 Thompson Parkway Sarasota, Florida 34236 Ernest D. Estevez, Ph.D. and Michael J. Marshall, Ph.D. Principal Investigators EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the third and final report of a project concerning desirable salinity conditions in the Sebastian River and adjacent Indian River Lagoon. A perception exists among resource managers that the present salinity regime of the Sebastian River system is undesirable. The St. Johns River Water Management District desires to learn the nature of an "environmentally desirable and acceptable salinity regime" for the Sebastian River and adjacent waters of the Indian River Lagoon. The District can then calculate discharges needed to produce the desired salinity regime, or conclude that optimal discharges are beyond its control. The values of studying salinity and making it a management priority in estuaries are four-fold. First, salinity has intrinsic significance as an important regulatory factor. Second, changes in the salinity regime of an estuary tend to be relatively easy to handle from a computational and practical point of view. Third, eliminating salinity as a problem clears the way for studies of, and corrective actions for, more insidious factors. Fourth, the strong covariance of salinity and other factors that tend to be management problems in estuaries makes salinity a useful tool in their analysis. Freshwater inflow and salinity are integral aspects of estuaries.

RANDOLPH HODGES Director . ii LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Qfo'ida Ge)oloqicaf 5 urvej January 11, 1962 Honorable Farris Bryant, Chairman Florida State Board of Conservation Tallahassee, Florida Dear Governor Bryant: The Florida Geological Survey is pleased to publish as Report of In- vestigations No. 28, a comprehensive study of the water resources of Brevard County. This report was prepared by Messrs. D. W. Brown, W. E. Kenner, J. W. Crooks, and J. B. Foster, of the U. S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District; U. S. Army, Corps of Engineers; and the Florida Geological Survey. This is a very timely study, since the development of adequate supplies of fresh water and the prevention and alleviation of flooding are the principal water problems in Brevard County. The rapid expansion of popu- lation and the development of new industries associated with the space effort have made large demands for increased supplies of fresh water, particularly in the Atlantic Coastal Ridge area on Merritt Island and in the barrier beach area.

  • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Estuary Program
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Estuary Program Story Map Text-only File 1) Introduction Welcome to the National Estuary Program story map. Since 1987, the EPA National Estuary Program (NEP) has made a unique and lasting contribution to protecting and restoring our nation's estuaries, delivering environmental and public health benefits to the American people. This story map describes the 28 National Estuary Programs, the issues they face, and how place-based partnerships coordinate local actions. To use this tool, click through the four tabs at the top and scroll around to learn about our National Estuary Programs. Want to learn more about a specific NEP? 1. Click on the "Get to Know the NEPs" tab. 2. Click on the map or scroll through the list to find the NEP you are interested in. 3. Click the link in the NEP description to explore a story map created just for that NEP. Program Overview Our 28 NEPs are located along the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts and in Puerto Rico. The NEPs employ a watershed approach, extensive public participation, and collaborative science-based problem- solving to address watershed challenges. To address these challenges, the NEPs develop and implement long-term plans (called Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plans (link opens in new tab)) to coordinate local actions. The NEPs and their partners have protected and restored approximately 2 million acres of habitat. On average, NEPs leverage $19 for every $1 provided by the EPA, demonstrating the value of federal government support for locally-driven efforts. View the NEPmap. What is an estuary? An estuary is a partially-enclosed, coastal water body where freshwater from rivers and streams mixes with salt water from the ocean.

The Caloosahatchee River has primary capacity for local inflows and is only utilized for Caloosahatchee Estuary discharges when there is secondary capacity available. The number of times that the Caloosahatchee Estuary high discharge criterion is exceeded must be limited to prevent destructive impacts on the estuary. Rationale – Researchers have observed an increased rate of eutrophication in Lake Okeechobee from 1973 to the present. Symptoms of this eutrophication include the following: • increases in algal bloom frequency since the mid-1980s (with an algal bloom being defined as chlorophyll-a concentrations greater than 40 μg/L) (Maceina 1993, Carrick et al. 1994, Havens et al. 1995b), • increases in the dominance of blue-green algae following a shift in the TN:TP ratio (Smith et al.

  • Watercraft Access Facilities in the State of Florida Biological Assessment
    Watercraft Access Facilities in the State of Florida Biological Assessment Introduction The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) issues numerous permits for watercraft access facilities in Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) habitat within Florida. Permitting actions that involve the rehabilitation of existing facilities and the construction of new facilities that include 4 slips or less in manatee habitat are currently evaluated using a programmatic approach that meets the consultation requirements of the Endangered Species Act. The purpose of this action is to develop and implement a programmatic framework to encompass the majority of proposals (with the exception of proposals that involve the rehabilitation of existing facilities and the construction of new facilities that include 4 slips or less in manatee habitat), regardless of size or extent, in order to streamline the formal consultation process and ensure that adequate measures are in place to avoid and minimize impacts to manatees, as well as any adverse modification(s) of critical habitat. Project Description / Area of Analysis The actions addressed by this Biological Opinion include all new watercraft access facilities (i.e., docks, boat ramps, and marinas and any dredging, pipes and culverts included in project plans and build out) which are likely to adversely affect manatees as determined via the 2011 Manatee Key. This analysis is intended to assist biologists in assessing the potential impacts of watercraft access facilities on the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) in the State of Florida. Manatee Occurrence Florida manatees are found throughout the southeastern United States. As a subspecies of the West Indian manatee, their presence here represents the northern limit of this species range (Lefebvre et al.
