(1) The purpose of Chapter 40D-8, F.A.C., is to establish Minimum Flows and Levels at specific locations throughout the District pursuant to Sections 373.042 and 373.0421, F.S., to describe Guidance Levels for lakes, and to describe how the Minimum Flows and Levels will be used by the District. Minimum Flows and Levels are intended to prevent significant harm to the water resources or ecology of the area as provided in Section 373.042, F.S. In those areas where the Long-term flow or water level is below the Minimum Flow or Level the District will implement a recovery strategy which will be contained within the District's Water Management Plan and, if required by law, portions or all shall be adopted by rule. (2) Where appropriate, Minimum Flows and Levels may reflect seasonal variations and may include a schedule of variations and other measures appropriate for the protection of non-consumptive uses and the water resources.

  • 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.

Six minutes after 9 o'clock. Welcome to Newsline. I'm Pat Lawson along with Pete Schofhausen. Today is Wednesday, April 1st, April Fool's Day. Lon Cheney was born on this date in 1883. Wallace Berry and Eddie Beechen have anniversaries of their birth today. Debbie Reynolds is 55. Ali McGraw is 49 today. Before we get started this morning, I have a letter here from a listener, a letter poured into our desk this morning. It says: "Dear Pat and Pete. Enjoy your program very much. I think it's the best thing on radio and I'm certainly happy to listen to you every morning." Then down here at the bottom it says: "I wish I were writing this myself, but they won't let me have anything sharp." Okay. That's our April fool for today. In our studio with us this morning we have a guest we've been trying to book for a long time. He's a busy man. He used to be, and still is, a newspaper writer. He's a baseball player, an umpire, a student of local history, a former sportscaster, and presently, best known to most folks in this area as Manatee County Commissioner Kent Chetlain.

Gann: Top: mahogany mistletoe (Phoradendron rubrum), a tropical species that grows only on Key Largo, and one of South Florida’s rarest species. Mahogany poachers and habitat loss in the 1970s brought this species to near extinction in South Florida. Bottom: fuzzywuzzy airplant (Tillandsia pruinosa), a tropical epiphyte that grows in several conservation areas in and around the Big Cypress Swamp. This and other rare epiphytes are threatened by poaching, hydrological change, and exotic pest plant invasions.

Allen2 Florida's Environment Series Introduction Central west Florida (Fig. 1) is a region characterized by numerous spring-fed rivers and streams that flow westward to the Gulf of Mexico. Large swamps and marshes associated with lakes form headwaters to many rivers in the region. Longleaf pine sandhill habitat was historically the region's major forest type, although intensely-managed pine plantations now predominate. Hardwood hammocks occur as scattered "islands" within pine flatwoods. DeSoto County harbors large tracts of dry prairie, scrubby flatwoods, rangeland, and sandhill communities. Despite rapid growth, conservation lands constitute roughly 20 percent of the central west Figure 1.
