  • 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.

  • Status of the Aquatic Plant Maintenance Program in Florida Public Waters
    Status of the Aquatic Plant Maintenance Program in Florida Public Waters Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2006 - 2007 Executive Summary This report was prepared in accordance with §369.22 (7), Florida Statutes, to provide an annual assessment of the control achieved and funding necessary to manage nonindigenous aquatic plants in intercounty waters. The authority of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) as addressed in §369.20 (5), Florida Statutes, extends to the management of nuisance populations of all aquatic plants, both indigenous and nonindigenous, and in all waters accessible to the general public. The aquatic plant management program in Florida’s public waters involves complex operational and financial interactions between state, federal and local governments as well as private sector compa- nies. A summary of plant acres controlled in sovereignty public waters and associated expenditures contracted or monitored by the DEP during Fiscal Year 2006-2007 is presented in the tables on page 42 of this report. Florida’s aquatic plant management program mission is to reduce negative impacts from invasive nonindigenous plants like water hyacinth, water lettuce and hydrilla to conserve the multiple uses and functions of public lakes and rivers. Invasive plants infest 95 percent of the 437 public waters inventoried in 2007 that comprise 1.25 million acres of fresh water where fishing alone is valued at more than $1.5 billion annually. Once established, eradicating invasive plants is difficult or impossible and very expensive; therefore, continuous maintenance is critical to sustaining navigation, flood control and recreation while conserving native plant habitat on sovereignty state lands at the lowest feasible cost.

  • Assessment of Cyanotoxins in Florida's Lakes, Reservoirs And
    Assessment of Cyanotoxins in Florida’s Lakes, Reservoirs and Rivers by Christopher D. Williams BCI Engineers and Scientists, Inc. Lakeland, FL. John W. Burns Andrew D. Chapman Leeanne Flewelling St. Johns River Water Management District Palatka, FL. Marek Pawlowicz Florida Department of Health/Bureau of Laboratories Jacksonville, FL. Wayne Carmichael Wright State University Dayton, OH. 2001 Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are population increases of algae above normal background levels and are defined by their negative impacts on the environment, the economy, and human health. Historically, many of Florida's largest and most utilized freshwater and estuarine systems have been plagued by occasional blooms of harmful algae. During the last decade, however, the frequency, duration, and concentration levels of these blooms in freshwater and brackish water have increased significantly, primarily due to changes in land utilization, changes in hydrology, increases in nutrient runoff, loss of aquatic vegetation, and a climate that is very conducive to algal growth and proliferation. In 1998, the Florida Harmful Algal Bloom Task Force was established to determine the extent to which HABs pose a problem for the state of Florida. Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) were identified as top research priorities due to their potential to produce toxic chemicals and contaminate natural water systems. In June 1999, the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) initiated a collaborative study in conjunction with the Florida Marine Research Institute, the Florida Department of Health, and Wright State University to determine the geographical distribution of various types of toxin-producing blue-green algae in Florida's surface waters and to positively identify any algal toxins present in these waters.

  • American Shad Habitat Plan Update
    American Shad Habitat Plan Update State of Florida Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Fish and Wildlife Research Institute Division of Marine Fisheries Management Reid Hyle [email protected] April 2021 Approved May 5, 2021 Introduction Amendment 3 to the Interstate Management Plan for Shad and River Herring cites habitat loss and degradation as major factors in the decline of and continued depression of populations of American Shad along the Atlantic coast and requires member states to develop habitat plans for American Shad in their jurisdiction. This plan is submitted to serve as the required habitat plan for the State of Florida. It outlines historic and current habitats available to American Shad in Florida and identifies known threats to those habitats as well as efforts to mitigate those threats. The primary spawning run of American shad in Florida historically was and currently is in the St. Johns River. The only other river lying within Florida in which spawning has been documented historically (Williams and Bruger 1972) and recently (Holder et al. 2011, Dutterer et al. 2011) is the Econlockhatchee River which is a tributary to the St. Johns River. The St. Marys River is along the eastern border between Georgia and Florida historically supported a population of American Shad. This plan includes these three systems. The Ocklawaha River is the largest tributary of the St. Johns River and is the largest Atlantic drainage river in Florida obstructed by a dam in its lower reaches. There is no record of a spawning run of American Shad in the Ocklawaha River pre-dating construction of the dam in 1968.

  • Blue-Green Algal Bloom Weekly Update Reporting July 2 - July 9, 2020
    BLUE-GREEN ALGAL BLOOM WEEKLY UPDATE REPORTING JULY 2 - JULY 9, 2020 SUMMARY There were 37 reported site visits in the past eight days (7/2-7/9), with 36 samples collected. Algal bloom conditions were observed by the samplers at 17 sites. Satellite imagery from 7/7 shows bloom potential in Lake Okeechobee on approximately 60% coverage on the north-northeastern portion of the lake, while visible portions of the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie rivers and estuaries in the 7/6 imagery show no observable bloom activity. Satellite imagery from 7/6 for the St. Johns River is partially obscured by cloud cover but shows minimal bloom potential in visible portions of Lake George or on the mainstem of the St. Johns River downstream of Lake George. 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 7/6-7/8, South Florida Water Management District staff performed routine monitoring on Lake Okeechobee. They observed algal bloom conditions at 14 of the 28 stations they visited (NES191, NES135, EASTSHORE, L004, L008, POLESOUT2, POLESOUT3, PELBAY3, L006, L007, LZ30, PALMOUT3, LZ40 and CULV10A). Most of the stations where bloom conditions were observed were dominated by Microcystis aeruginosa, while stations without bloom conditions observed were dominated by either Microcystis aeruginosa, Cylindrospermosis raciborskii, co-dominated by Cylindrospermosis raciborskii and Planktolyngbya limnetica, or had no dominant algal taxon. Stations with detectable levels of total microcystin included: LZ2 (trace 0.31 ppb); NES191 (8.8 ppb); NES135 (3.0 ppb); EASTSHORE (7.5 ppb); L004 (17 ppb); L008 (6.0 ppb); POLESOUT3 (4.9 ppb); POLESOUT2 (3.8 ppb); L006 (1.0 ppb); LZ40 (6.2 ppb); and CVL10A (14 ppb).

  • Legacy Phosphorus in Lake Okeechobee (Florida, USA) Sediments: a Review and New Perspective
    water Review Legacy Phosphorus in Lake Okeechobee (Florida, USA) Sediments: A Review and New Perspective Thomas M. Missimer 1,* , Serge Thomas 2 and Barry H. Rosen 2 1 Emergent Technologies Institute, U. A. Whitaker College of Engineering, Florida Gulf Coast University, 16301 Innovation Lane, Fort Myers, FL 33913, USA 2 Department of Ecology and Environmental Studies, Florida Gulf Coast University, 10501 FGCU Boulevard South, Fort Myers, FL 33965-6565, USA; [email protected] (S.T.); [email protected] (B.H.R.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Lake Okeechobee is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the United States. As a eutrophic lake, it has frequent algal blooms composed predominantly of the cyanobacterium genus Microcystis. Many of the algal blooms are associated with the resuspension of a thixotropic benthic mud containing legacy nutrients. Since Lake Okeechobee has an area of 1732 km2 (40–50 km radius) and a mean depth of only 2.7 m, there is sufficient fetch and shallow water depth to allow frequent wind, wave, and current generated events, which cause sediment resuspension. Three types of mud exist in the lake including an immobile dark-colored, consolidated mud, a brownish-colored mud, which is poorly consolidated and mobile, and a dark-colored thixotropic, highly mobile mud that is a mixture of organic matter and clay-sized minerals. Altogether, these muds contain an estimated 4.6 × 106 kg of total phosphorus and commensurate high amounts of labile nitrogen. The thixotropic mud covers most of the lakebed and contains the suitable nutrient ratios to trigger algal blooms. A bioassay analysis of the thixotropic mud compared to the consolidated mud showed that it produced up to 50% more nutrient mass compared to the consolidated mud.

  • 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 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 2016 Florida Fish Advisories • Table 1: Eating Guidelines for Fresh Water Fish from Florida Waters page 1-33 • Table 2: Eating Guidelines for Marine and Estuarine Fish from Florida Waters page 34-35 • Table 3: Eating Guidelines for species from Florida Waters with Heavy Metals, Dioxin, Pesticides, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), or Saxitoxin Contamination page 36 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.
