Water resources data, Florida water year 2000. Volume 1A. Northeast Florida surface water

The Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with State agencies, obtains a large amount of data pertaining to the water resources of Florida each water year. These data, accumulated during many water years, constitute a valuable data base for developing an improved understanding of the water resources of the State. To make these data readily available to interested parties outside the Geological Survey, the data are published annually in this report series entitled "Water Resources Data - Florida."

Ecosystem history of Florida Bay

In the past decade seagrass die-offs, algal blooms, and declining numbers of shellfish and sponges have occurred in Florida Bay. These changes have been attributed to human activities; however, neither the natural patterns of change, nor the pre-human baseline for the environment have been determined. Currently, efforts are underway to restore the Everglades ecosystem to a more natural state, but the restoration should be guided by a clear understanding of the natural range of variability that exists within the ecosystem.
