  • Canaveral National Seashore Greening Charrette January 18-20, 2005 Titusville, Florida Executive Summary
    Canaveral National Seashore Greening Charrette January 18-20, 2005 Titusville, Florida Executive Summary Canaveral National Seashore comprises 58,000 acres with 24 miles of undisturbed beaches as well as sand dunes, a diverse and productive estuary, hammocks of oaks with Spanish moss, and busy waterways. It is home to 1,045 species of plants and 310 species of birds; 14 wildlife species are federally listed as endangered or threatened. There are also sites of historic and archeological significance. Park visitation is 1.5 million annually. Users of the park include beach enthusiasts, recreational fishers, pleasure boaters, canoers and kayakers, and hikers as well as commercial fishing enterprises. Canaveral operates in close partnership with NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and the Fish and Wildlife Service’s Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. The park has undertaken a number of greening activities, including use of green products and materials, recycling, adaptive reuse of structures, an alternatively fueled vehicle, a green team, and preparation of an Environmental Management System. Issues identified by the park for further work include water quality, impacts on the resource from use or overuse, shoreline erosion, lack of potable water, waste disposal, transportation and parking, planning and construction, and interpretation of sustainability. This charrette was the eighth in a series co-sponsored by the National Park Service and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The objective of the charrette was to develop a plan for further greening of Canaveral in high priority areas such as planning, transportation, facilities, operations and maintenance, and interpretation/ education. The event began with a half-day tour of the site, designed to introduce speakers and other outside participants to issues at Canaveral that might be addressed during the charrette.

  • GEER 2015 Greater Everglades Ecosystem Restoration
    GEER 2015 Greater Everglades Ecosystem Restoration Science in Support of Everglades Restoration April 21-23, 2015 Coral Springs, Florida USA www.conference.ifas.ufl.edu/GEER2015 About GEER estoration of the Greater Everglades has advanced significantly since the last GEER conference held in conjunction with INTECOL in 2012, and science in support of restoration has become even Rmore important to achieving restoration results. Significant challenges face society’s vision for restoration – altered hydrology, degraded water quality, invasions by non-native plants and animals, human development placing pressure on our remaining natural systems, and climate change. Despite these challenges, major restoration projects are planned and/or underway, including increased water storage, bridges on Tamiami Trail to restore flow, water quality improvement, and others. High- quality science relevant to these challenges and restoration efforts are required to provide resource managers and policy-makers with the best information possible. GEER 2015 will provide a valuable forum for scientists and engineers to showcase and communicate the latest scientific developments, and to facilitate information exchange that builds shared understanding among federal, state, local, and tribal scientists and decision-makers, academia, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, and private citizens. The conference organizers have worked hard to provide an excellent location and conference venue, three full days of plenary and contributed sessions, and opportunities

L., J. W. White, H. Tillotson, N. Cox, M. Christopher, O. Stokes-Cawley, S. Yuan, T. J. Pusack, and C. D. Stallings. 2017. Local and regional stressors interact to drive a salinization-induced outbreak of predators on oyster reefs. Ecosphere 8(11):e01992. 10.1002/ecs2.1992 Abstract. Predator outbreaks are predicted to increasingly decimate economically and ecologically important prey populations because global climate change and food-web modifications frequently facili- tate predators and stress prey. Natural systems are organized hierarchically, with processes operating at multiple scales giving rise to patterns of biodiversity, so predicting and managing outbreaks requires a framework that accounts for the effects of both local and regional stressors. Here, we used the comparative experimental approach to investigate whether the collapse of a nationally important oyster fishery in the Gulf of Mexico (Apalachicola Bay, Florida) could have been (1) caused proximally by a predator outbreak and (2) whether this outbreak was mediated by local- and/or regional-scale forces.
