  • Natural Systems
    Natural Systems NATURAL SYSTEMS INTRODUCTION Natural resources in Southwest Florida have had a major influence on the area’s economic development and growth. The most important of these resources are the Region’s location and climate, land and water resources, vegetation and wildlife, and inland and tidal wetlands. These resources have attracted the large number of retirees and tourists to the region, thereby fueling the area’s service, trade, and construction industries. THE CLIMATE Temperature Due to the Region's southerly location, a near-subtropical climate with an associated high annual rainfall is typical. Average monthly temperatures range from 64.3 degrees Fahrenheit in January to 82.6 degrees Fahrenheit in August. Freezes are not common in the Region, but may occur once or twice a year. "Jacket weather" occurs periodically during the fall and winter months. Weather and climate are very important factors in the economy of Southwest Florida. The combination of warm weather, decreased humidity, and low rainfall during the winter months encourages tourism and an influx of seasonal residents. A high yearly rainfall and moderate winter temperatures enable agriculture to thrive year-round. Periods of freezing weather, when they occur, have adverse effects upon the local economy. Unusually severe winter freezes and resulting agricultural losses in other parts of the state have caused a migration of agricultural interests into the Region from counties to the north. Precipitation Patterns Patterns of precipitation in Southwest Florida exhibit strong seasonal variations. The Region enjoys a rainy season from May through October and a dry season from November through April. Increased atmospheric moisture and incoming solar radiation levels in May generally trigger the rainy season, while a reversal of these conditions occurs in September to signal the start of the dry season.

  • 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.

  • 1 Modernisms on the Air: CBC Radio in the 1960S Jeremy Strachan
    Modernisms on the Air: CBC Radio in the 1960s Jeremy Strachan, Cornell University To reflect a nation’s culture—and help create it—a broadcasting system must not minister solely to the comfort of the people. It must not always play safe. Its guiding rule cannot be to give the people what they want, for at best this can be only what the broadcasters think the people want; they may not know, and the people themselves may not know. One of the essential tasks of a broadcasting system is to stir up the minds and emotions of the people, and occasionally to make large numbers of them acutely uncomfortable. —Report of the Committee on Broadcasting (the Fowler Report), 19651 Introduction In the 1960s, contemporary music became a more audible part of Canadian life. The Canadian Music Centre and the Canada Council for the Arts had emerged as bulwarks of support for Canadian composers, who had relied on patchwork networks for resources, promotion, and advocacy2; adventurous independent presenters such as Ten Centuries Concerts in Toronto and the Société de musique contemporain du Québec in Montreal had begun to stake out territory on concert stages, programming concerts of new and “unheard of” musics;3 and, the centennial celebrations of 1967 produced nearly 130 new musical works by Canadian composers.4 Throughout the decade, CBC Radio and Radio-Canada5 played a central part in disseminating musical modernisms with weekly programs such as World of Music (until 1963) and Music of Today (from 1964 through to 1977), in addition to special programs, live concert broadcasts, and in 1967, Canada’s centennial year, the ambitious seventeen-LP series Music and Musicians of Canada produced by the CBC’s International Service in partnership with RCA Victor.

  • Chapter 62-302: Surface Water Quality Standards
    Presented below are water quality standards that are in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. EPA is posting these standards as a convenience to users and has made a reasonable effort to assure their accuracy. Additionally, EPA has made a reasonable effort to identify parts of the standards that are not approved, disapproved, or are otherwise not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. blue – not a standard black – standard TCHAPTER 62-302: WATER QUALITY STANDARDS Effective April 30, 2018 In instances where the EPA has determined that certain provisions are not considered new or revised water quality standards, the Agency has attempted to indicate those in blue text. However, the font color indicated within this document, should not be interpreted as the official position of the Agency, and primarily addresses recent reviews by the EPA. For more detailed explanations on the EPA’s analysis and rationale related to decisions of new or revised water quality standards, see the Agency’s historical decision documents and associated records or contact the appropriate Agency staff. Additionally, arrow boxes found in the margins of this document direct the reader to other new or revised water quality standards which are related to provisions found in Chapter 62-302 but are found in documents outside of the regulations and are generally incorporated by reference. (See Attachments A-E of this document). The State of Florida recently revised the table of surface water criteria set out at section 62-302, F.A.C., to incorporate new human health criteria and designated uses promulgated by the state in 2016.
