  • Blue-Green Algal Bloom Weekly Update Reporting March 26 - April 1, 2021
    BLUE-GREEN ALGAL BLOOM WEEKLY UPDATE REPORTING MARCH 26 - APRIL 1, 2021 SUMMARY There were 12 reported site visits in the past seven days (3/26 – 4/1), with 12 samples collected. Algal bloom conditions were observed by the samplers at seven of the sites. The satellite imagery for Lake Okeechobee and the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuaries from 3/30 showed low bloom potential on visible portions of Lake Okeechobee or either estuary. The best available satellite imagery for the St. Johns River from 3/26 showed no bloom potential on Lake George or visible portions of the St. Johns River; however, satellite imagery from 3/26 was heavily obscured by cloud cover. 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 3/29, South Florida Water Management District staff collected a sample from the C43 Canal – S77 (Upstream). The sample was dominated by Microcystis aeruginosa and had a trace level [0.42 parts per billion (ppb)] of microcystins detected. On 3/29, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) staff collected a sample from Lake Okeechobee – S308 (Lakeside) and at the C44 Canal – S80. The Lake Okeechobee – S308 (Lakeside) sample was dominated by Microcystis aeruginosa and had a trace level (0.79 ppb) of microcystins detected. The C44 Canal – S80 sample had no dominant algal taxon and had a trace level (0.34 ppb) of microcystins detected. On 3/29, Highlands County staff collected a sample from Huckleberry Lake – Canal Entrance.

  • William Selby Harney: Indian Fighter by OLIVER GRISWOLD We Are Going to Travel-In Our Imaginations-A South Florida Route with a Vivid Personality
    William Selby Harney: Indian Fighter By OLIVER GRISWOLD We are going to travel-in our imaginations-a South Florida route with a vivid personality. We are going back-in our imaginations-over a bloody trail. We are going on a dramatic military assignment. From Cape Florida on Key Biscayne, we start on the morning of De- cember 4, 1840. We cross the sparkling waters of Biscayne Bay to within a stone's throw of this McAllister Hotel where we are meeting. We are going up the Miami River in the days when there was no City of Miami. All our imaginations have to do is remove all the hotels from the north bank of the Miami River just above the Brickell Avenue bridge- then in the clearing rebuild a little military post that stood there more than a hundred years ago. At this tiny cluster of stone buildings called Ft. Dallas, our expedition pauses for farewells. We are going on up to the headwaters of the Miami River-and beyond-where no white man has ever been before. The first rays of the sun shed a ruddy light on a party of 90 picked U.S. soldiers. They are in long dugout canoes. The sunrise shines with particular emphasis on the fiery-red hair of a tall officer. It is as if the gleaming wand of destiny has reached down from the Florida skies this morning to put a special blessing on his perilous mission. He commands the flotilla to shove off. But before we join him on his quest for a certain villainous redskin, let us consider who this officer is.

Governor Bob Martinez Center Noah Valenstein 2600 Blair Stone Road Secretary Tallahassee, FL 32399-2400 June 16, 2020 Dear Floridians: It is with great pleasure that we present to you the 2020 Integrated Water Quality Assessment for Florida. This report meets the Federal Clean Water Act reporting requirements; more importantly, it presents a comprehensive analysis of the quality of our waters. This report would not be possible without the monitoring efforts of organizations throughout the state, including state and local governments, universities, and volunteer groups who agree that our waters are a central part of our state’s culture, heritage, and way of life. In Florida, monitoring efforts at all levels result in substantially more monitoring stations and water quality data than most other states in the nation. These water quality data are used annually for the assessment of waterbody health by means of a comprehensive approach. Hundreds of assessments of individual waterbodies are conducted each year. Additionally, as part of this report, a statewide water quality condition is presented using an unbiased random monitoring design. These efforts allow us to understand the state’s water conditions, make decisions that further enhance our waterways, and focus our efforts on addressing problems.

  • St. Johns River Water Supply Impact Study (WSIS)
    St. Johns River Water Supply Impact Study (WSIS) Michael G. Cullum, P.E. Chief, Bureau of Engineering & Hydro Science St. Johns River Water Management District The Water Supply Impact study is the most comprehensive and rigorous investigation of the St. Johns River ever conducted. Major Conclusions • The St. Johns River can be used as an alternative water supply source with no more than negligible or minor effects. • Future land use changes, completion of the Upper St. Johns River Basin Project, and sea level rise reduce the effects of water withdrawals. • Potential for environmental effects varies along the river’s length. • The study provides peer-reviewed tools for use by the District and others. National Academy of Sciences National Research Council (NRC) Peer Review • Three-year process working with the NRC peer review committee. • Committee consisted of nine experts. • Six multi-day meetings, field trips and numerous teleconferences. • NRC ̶ 105 page report, December 2011 NRC Concluding Comment “The overall strategy of the study and the way it was implemented were appropriate and adequate to address the goals that the District established for the WSIS.” The first step: - Understand hydrology and hydraulics and predict the changes - Resulting from potential water withdrawals. • Watershed hydrology models predict inflows into the river. • River hydrodynamic model predicts river flow, level, and salinity. Baseline Scenario • 1995 Landuse • Water Supply Planning Base Year • Good Data set 1995-2006 • Stable USJ Project Conditions • Use for Calibration of Models Forecast Scenarios • 2030 Land-Use • Complete Upper SJR Projects • Fellsmere, • C1- Sawgrass Lakes • Three Forks Marsh • Conservative Sea Level Rise (14 cm) • Withdrawal Scenarios - 77.5 mgd, 155 mgd, & 262 mgd Watershed Models • Hydrologic Simulation Program – Fortran (HSPF) – 90 separate models – 11 in-house modelers – External Peer Review • Model for Upper SJR Basin • 55 mgd - near Lake Poinsett HSPF Modeling LULCDEMSoils D.E.M.Land CoverSoils Land-use, reaches, and rainfall gauges Uppert1 St.

  • The Breeding Range of the Black-Necked Stilt
    248 The Wilson Bulletin-December, 1929 foot a constant reminder of the disagreeable experience. It is probable that hunger and the memory of source of sustenance are respectively stronger and more accurate in this muscular, bold creature than any recollection of pain or inconvenience which may have been caused at or near the source of food supply.- GEORGE MIKSCH SUTTON, Game Commission, Harrisburg, Pa. The Breeding Range of the Black-necked Stilt.-The breeding range of the Black-necked Stilt (Ilimantopus mexicanus) has been steadily increasing throughout different parts of southern and central Florida during the last few years. Where it was not found at all a few years ago it now breeds. In 1909 I found these birds nesting at Kissimmee and also at Lake Kissimmce on Rabbit Island. In 1915 they bred in numbers at Lake Harney, Seminole County. These places are still used as breeding places to the present date, May, 1929. They breed at Marco Island, some of the Keys. Puzzle Lake, Seminole County, Mer- ritts’ Island, along the St. Johns’ River between Sanford and Lake Harney, and at Geneva Ferry. The latest places discovered were at Turkey Hammock, Osceola County, which is where the Kissimee River begins at the south end of Lake Kissimee. About a dozen pairs were found evidently breeding, judging from their behavior, by Messrs. Arthur H. Howell and W. H. Ball, and me, on May 12, 1929. We also found four breeding pairs at Alligator RlufI, which is along the Kissimee River, on May 11, 7929. In March, 1908, March, 1910, and in 1912, I had covered this same territory and failed to see Rlack-necked Stilts in these two places.

  • 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 February 2019 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 2019 Florida Fish Advisories • Table 1: Eating Guidelines for Fresh Water Fish from Florida Waters (based on mercury levels) page 1-50 • Table 2: Eating Guidelines for Marine and Estuarine Fish from Florida Waters (based on mercury levels) page 51-52 • Table 3: Eating Guidelines for species from Florida Waters with Heavy Metals (other than mercury), Dioxin, Pesticides, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), or Saxitoxin Contamination page 53-54 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.
