    Meindl Homosassa Springs: Canaries in the Coal Mine? Christopher F. Meindl University of South Florida, St. Petersburg Introduction The community of Homosassa, Florida is barely above sea level and just a handful of miles from the Gulf of Mexico, so it is on the front lines of the nation’s flood insurance crisis and will likely face problems associated with future sea level rise. The Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park is now known more for its collection of mostly native Florida animals and the annual, cold season invasion of dozens of manatees to its life saving 72-degree (F) waters. Indeed, the community’s centerpiece is its springs, which empty into a common pool that forms the head of the Homosassa River. Homosassa’s Springs have been a roadside attraction for nearly a century, and like other Florida springs, they are sending warning signs regarding the condition of the Floridan aquifer that supplies them; as such they serve as “canaries in the coal mine.” This paper situates Homosassa’s springs within the constellation of Florida’s more than 1,000 springs as well as recent challenges and efforts to better manage and conserve these impressive water resources. Morris (1995, p.121) cites a Great Depression Era scholar, who defined Homosassa as a combination of Seminole-Creek words meaning “a place where wild pepper grows.” Morris (p.121) then claims that others (whom he does not cite) contend that the word Homosassa “means smoking creek—from the dense vapor that on cool days envelops the warm springs and river.” Whatever its name means, Homosassa’s springs are located in the small town of the same name in Citrus County, Florida—about 75 miles north of Tampa Bay.

To address these issues, the Springs Coast Steering Committee (SCSC) was formed of local, regional and state agencies.

  • 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.

  • Summary of Outstanding Florida Springs Basin Management Action Plans – June 2018 Prepared by the Howard T
    Summary of Outstanding Florida Springs Basin Management Action Plans – June 2018 Prepared by the Howard T. Odum Florida Springs Institute (FSI) Background The Florida Springs and Aquifer Protection Act (Chapter 373, Part VIII, Florida Statutes [F.S.]), provides for the protection and restoration of 30 Outstanding Florida Springs (OFS), which comprise 24 first magnitude springs, 6 additional named springs, and their associated spring runs. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) has assessed water quality in each OFS and determined that 24 of the 30 OFS are impaired for the nitrate form of nitrogen. Table 1 provides a list of all 30 OFS and indicates which are currently impaired by nitrate nitrogen concentrations above the state’s Numeric Nutrient Criterion (NNC) for nitrate. Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) have been issued for all 24 of the impaired springs. The Springs Protection Act requires that FDEP adopt Basin Management Action Plans (BMAPs) for each of the impaired OFS by July 1, 2018. BMAPs describe the State’s efforts to achieve water quality standards in impaired waters within a 20-year time frame. Table 1. Outstanding Florida Springs. PLANNING_UNIT TITLE IMPAIRED?

  • S West Coast
    Celebrating the Natural Wonders of Florida’s West Coast < Outdoors West Florida – Images by Lee Foster By Lee Foster Mesmerized by an anhinga bird spearing small fish with its beak, I let my kayak drift down the headwaters of the Hillsborough River, near Tampa. Gar fish lounged in the clear springs that formed the river. Turtles dozed on logs as I passed. Great blue herons lifted off majestically before me. While kayaking, I pondered the popular notion that Florida is all man-made theme parks, urban congestion, and development out of control. Maybe it wasn’t so, after all. On this trip, my personal quest was to find natural Florida preserved. I decided to begin in Tampa, searching for what satisfying eco-encounters I could find close to an urban area. Using Tampa as my fly-in gateway, I planned to start my nature activities with a tour of the Florida Aquarium, and then kayak two special environments, the Hillsborough River and the Gulf barrier islands near the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. After Tampa, I planned to drive 1-1/2 hours north to Citrus County, which I understood was one of the best-preserved areas in the state. With its enormous oak trees and wilderness waterways, Citrus County resembles what most of Florida must have been like 100 years ago. Even more impressive are the steps being taken to protect these natural resources in the County. Nearly half of the county has been designated as public parks and preserves destined to remain untouched. Citrus boasts a healthy 157-mile wilderness river ecosystem, the Withlacoochee, which forms the eastern and northern boundaries of the county.

  • 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.
