Florida Sea Grant Florida Sea Grant Contents Introduction Universities Statewide University-Based Programs Community Colleges Private Non-Profit Marine Laboratories Non-Collegiate Education State and Federal Agencies and Programs Non-Profit and Private Organizations Introduction Florida is sometimes called a state with two oceans back-to-back. Its shorelines span six degrees of latitude. It is not surprising that numerous academic, governmental, private and non-profit organizations exist here, devoted to marine research and education. As part of its statewide mission — and to answer numerous questions from prospective students and other interests worldwide — Florida Sea Grant offers this directory. It is intended to be a guide to link people to marine and coastal institutions in Florida. It is not designed to include all institutions in Florida in each category. Suggestions and comments on those that should be added or deleted are welcome. Universities http://www.flseagrant.org/faculty-students/marine_ed_resources.htm (1 of 16) [7/14/2003 12:30:57 PM] Florida Sea Grant Florida has ten public universities and a large number of private universities and colleges. Those listed below have certain academic programs that relate to ocean, marine or coastal studies, research or outreach. Below each university are those academic departments or sites of study that allow a student to learn more about ocean, marine or coastal degree programs or for a citizen or business to seek answers to questions. In some cases, the academic department may be totally dedicated to ocean, marine or coastal issues and in others, perhaps a group of faculty within the academic department or laboratory work in this area.

  • Virginia Key Beach County Park
    South Florida Geological Site Guide series Department of Earth Sciences Florida International University, University Park, SW 8th Street & 107 Avenue, Miami, FL 33199 www.fiu.edu/~geology No. 03 VIRGINIA KEY BEACH COUNTY PARK (v.1.0, 5-06) Prepared by Grenville Draper Department of Earth Sciences Location and access Take the Rickenbacker Causeway as if going to the beaches on Key Biscayne. Just after passing the Seaquarium (and just before the bridge to Key Biscayne), turn left on the road that leads to the water treatment plant and the parking area for Virginia Key beach. (Unless you have made prior arrangements, you will have to pay the entrance fee to the park). Continue until the fork in the road, then turn right into the parking area. What there is to see Aspects of beach dynamics and erosion. Backround Like Miami Beach and Key Biscayne, Virginia Key is a sedimentary barrier island. Virginia Key and Key Biscayne are parts of the barrier island system which stretches along most of the coast of southeastern Florida. About 20,000 years ago, a glacial period ended and the climate began to warm. During the glacial period, sea level had been as much as 100m. (300 ft.) below present sea level. As the climate warmed, sea level started to rise to its present level. It is from this period that the barrier islands of Miami Beach, Virginia Key, and Key Biscayne began to be formed. Sediments were carried by longshore currents, and consisted of a mixture of carbonate (shell fragments, coral fragments, etc.) and quartz sand.

  • Where Are Florida's Manatees?
    Where are Florida’s manatees? © Susan Lowe, Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park And other interesting facts about Florida’s state marine mammal What are manatees? The West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) consists of two subspecies: the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) and the Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus). Florida manatees – Florida’s state marine mammal – are native to Florida. The Florida manatee breathes air, just like other mammals. It has a large, tube-shaped body, a flat, round, paddle-shaped tail, two relatively short front flippers and a whiskered face. The average adult manatee is about 10 feet long and weighs approximately 1,200 pounds. Manatees can live more than 65 years; however, among the wild manatees that reach adulthood, only about half are expected to survive into their early 20s. What do manatees eat? Often referred to as “sea cows” because of their grazing habits, manatees are herbivores that eat seagrasses and other species of freshwater floating or submerged aquatic plants. A manatee can consume plant material up to 9 percent of its body weight per day. Protection of aquatic habitats where manatees forage for food benefits not only manatees but many other species as well. Manatees are unique aquatic mammals that live in Florida’s waterways. Terri Calleson, USFWS. Should people give food or water to manatees? Under state and federal law, it is illegal to attract manatees to an area by purposely providing a source of freshwater or by offering food. Besides, manatees lured to unsafe areas may be in greater danger of being struck by vessels in these areas.

    Biscayne National Park Fishery Management Plan Reef Fishery Regulations and Science Plan Analysis Jerald S. Ault, Ph.D. University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science 4600 Rickenbacker Causeway. Miami, FL 33149 USA and Melissa E. Abdo, Ph.D., and Caroline McLaughlin, M.A. National Parks Conservation Association Sun Coast Marine Program 450 N Park Rd., Ste. 301 Hollywood, FL 33021 February 6, 2020 Analysis of Biscayne National Park Fishery Management Plan Reef Fishery Regulations and Science Plan Page 1 of 17 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Located in southeastern Florida, 95% of Biscayne National Park (BNP) is underwater and includes 173,900 acres spanning from just south of Key Biscayne to just north of Key Largo, Florida. The health of BNP’s resources, including reef fish populations, marine habitats, and coral reefs, is central to the future of fishing in Florida. Deep concern about BNP’s marine fisheries and wildlife resulted in the promulgation of a Fishery Management Plan (FMP) whose Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), released in 2014, proposed a 20% increase in the size-structured abundances of targeted reef fishes within the park. In June 2019, the National Park Service (NPS) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) released “Assessing the Efficacy of Fishery Management Changes Implemented for the Biscayne National Park Fishery Management Plan: A Science Plan Prepared by the National Park Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission” (Science Plan), which presented recommendations for monitoring targeted fisheries resources within BNP in order to assess the efficacy of park-specific regulations suggested in the FMP.

It is probably the hardest article I have had to write. As my last Messenger article, it is one piece in the process of saying goodbye as my family and I prepare to move to Washington, DC. This process is being made even harder by the situation in which we find ourselves. Not being able to meet together in person is promoting the necessity to change our expectations and ways of doing things. Perhaps this is a fitting message for this final article. Things are going to be different. Things are going to be different for me, and they’re going to be different for you.
