Conceptual diagram illustrating Alligator Reef, which is limited in growth by the amount of exposed Pleistocene bedrock. The washing effect of water through the tidal pass has exposed peat and sandy sediments upon which coral reefs cannot become established.
Alligator Reef growth limitation
Conceptual diagram illustrating density and change in species of seagrasses in Florida Bay following long-term (left column) and short-term (right column) fertilization after the installation of bird roosting stakes in a turtle grass bed.
Change in seagrasses after bird stake installation
Conceptual diagram illustrating changes in seagrasses in Johnson Key Basin, Western Florida Bay, and the relative coverage of seagrass species.
Changes in seagrass in Johnson Key Basin
Conceptual diagram illustrating a brief history of the Florida Keys during the Quaternary Period.
Florida Keys during the quaternary period
Conceptual diagram illustrating a brief geological history of Florida.
Geological history of Florida
Conceptual diagram illustrating salinity in the Florida bay and Biscayne Bay over the years, based on core samples.
Historical salinity in south Florida bays
Map of the land area of Florida during the Early Pliocene, Late Pleistocene (red dotted line), and present-day Florida.
History of Florida land area
Conceptual diagram illustrating a chart of species that have been threatened, endangered or extinct in Florida since the arrival of humans.

Conceptual diagram illustrating south Florida, located along the southern margin of the temperate region of North America and the northern margin of the tropics.
South Florida climate zone
Map of the results of a March 2006 study. Each color is a surface drifter which was deployed just east of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. The general currents of the area are displayed on this map.
South Florida current trajectories
Map illustrating the bathymetry of south Florida coastal waters and identification of coastal regions.
South Florida currents and eddies
Conceptual diagram illustrating the progression of animals such as the Caribbean spiny lobster, and goliath grouper in the Florida bay area.
South Florida marine animal development
Conceptual diagram illustrating the south Florida marine environment, which is closely linked to upland and upstream influence.
South Florida marine environment
Conceptual diagram illustrating how, in the south Florida coastal area, the internal tide cores deliver cool, nutrient-rich water from the ocean depths to the outer reefs of the Florida Keys.
South Florida tide
Conceptual diagram illustrating annual mean water volume transports in Florida Bay and through the Keys.
South Florida water volume transport
Conceptual diagram illustrating wet season (left) and dry season (right) variations in south Florida weather patterns.
South Florida weather patterns
Conceptual diagram illustrating that Caribbean spiny lobsters are a key component of the marine ecosystem in south Florida as both predators and prey.
Spiny lobsters are key component of south Florida…
Conceptual diagram illustrating relative seal-level rise based on global global sea levels and land subsistence; with examples from Key West, Florida and Galveston, Texas.
