    House of Representatives Local Bill Staff Analysis

    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES LOCAL BILL STAFF ANALYSIS BILL #: CS/HB 915 Port of Palm Beach District, Palm Beach County SPONSOR(S): Local Administration & Veterans Affairs Subcommittee, Willhite TIED BILLS: IDEN./SIM. BILLS: REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF 1) Local Administration & Veterans Affairs 15 Y, 1 N, As Darden Miller Subcommittee CS 2) State Affairs Committee 20 Y, 0 N Darden Williamson SUMMARY ANALYSIS The Port of Palm Beach District (Port) is an independent special district located in Palm Beach County. The Port was created by special act in 1915 and its charter was re-codified in 1974 and 2017. The Port is the fourth busiest container port in Florida, the 18th busiest in the continental U.S., and is a major shipper of Florida goods such as bulk sugar and produce. The Port is governed by a Board of Commissioners (Board), comprised of five members elected at-large to serve four-year terms. Commissioners receive $9,500 per year as compensation, with no provision for increases or cost of living adjustments, and must post a surety bond of $25,000 upon taking office. The Board may hire a port manager to direct the day-to-day operations of the Port. The bill: Provides that newly elected commissioners take office in the January following the general election at which they are elected. Repeals the requirement that each commissioner must execute a $25,000 surety bond upon taking office and the additional $25,000 surety bond required of the commissioner selected as secretary- treasurer of the Board. Increases the compensation of commissioners from $9,500 to $12,500 annually.

    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.

    2018 Update of Tables and Figures

    2018 Update of Tables and Figures August 2019 INTRODUCTION This document provides an update to the majority of data tables and figures provided in the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) 2015 Florida Seaport System Plan. The annual updating of seaport system plan data allows FDOT to: implement the plan using the latest industry metrics; provide analysis of long-term trends; and, provide a foundation for future five-year plan updates. The information collected for this update are the 2018 seaport metrics including the number of containers in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), cargo tonnages, total number of revenue cruise passengers, and several other items. The primary source of the data is the individual Florida Seaports and the Florida Seaport Five-Year Mission Plans. In addition, some of the data comes from official government sources. Maintaining this data on an annual basis will lay the foundation of information necessary for the 2020 Florida Seaport Plan to build upon. The purpose statement and vision of the 2015 plan are restated below. The updated Figures and Tables follow. It should be noted, not all tables and figures in the 2015 plan were updated as: some data sources are not updated annually; some source data has not been updated; or, the 2015 data is still up to date. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE This 2015 Florida Seaport System Plan was prepared in accordance with the statutory requirements of Section 311.14(1), Florida Statutes (F.S.). The development of this plan, along with other modal plans developed under the Freight, Logistics, and Passenger Operations (FLP) Office at the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), provides the Department with a cohesive planning process for all the modal offices.

    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

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.
