Conceptual diagram illustrating how phytoplankton blooms in eastern Florida Bay and southern Biscayne Bay were sustained through feedback loops among ecosystem components.
Phytoplankton bloom feedback loops
Diagram showing threats to the seagrasses and birds in the Gulf of Mexico.

Conceptual diagram illustrating different monitoring activities implemented on Assateague Island to track changing habitats. Monitoring activities - which are habitat specific - include water quality, seagrass area, salt marsh nekton survey, surface elevation table, plover nests and fledgling success, upland elevation change, shoreline rate of change, and beach topography.
Monitoring Activities to Track Changing Habitats…
This structure is designed to direct waterflow under a road. Found in Virginia, USA
Water Culvert
An autoanalyzer setup to measure isotope ratios in dissolved gases in water samples.
Autoanalyzer
Isotope ratio mass spectrometer equipment to analyze dissolved gases in water samples
Isotope ratio mass spectrometer
Isotope ratio mass spectrometer. The tubing allows different gases to flow in and out of the mass spectrometer to meausure gas chemistry and isotope ratios
Isotope ratio mass spectrometer
Isotope ratio mass spectrometer with water bath to set samples at a constant temperature
Isotope ratio mass spectrometer with water bath
Water samples collected for analysis. These samples have been capped and crimped to seal against gas exchange so that dissolved gases can be analyzed.
Water samples

Conceptual diagram illustrating aquifers in respect to the Maryland Coastal Bays. These aquifers are both surficial (unconfined) and deeper (confined).
Aquifers underlying the Coastal Bays
Conceptual diagram illustrating the minimum amounts of oxygen that different aquatic organisms needs to survive.
Criteria for dissolved oxygen for aquatic life
Posted by the Florida Department of Health to inform beach visitors on up-to-date water quality information
Healthy Beaches Program
Conceptual diagram illustrating the differences between surfaces that allow groundwater flow, and surfaces that restrict it, and how each affects groundwater quality.
Pervious vs. impervious surfaces
Conceptual diagram illustrating the factors that influence how much light is absorbed by seagrass. This includes phytoplankton, organic matter, suspended sediment, and the epiphytes that grow on the seagrass.
Relative light attenuation for seagrass
Conceptual Diagram illustrating the elements of a soft shoreline and how they can benefit a habitat, versus the elements of a hard shoreline that offer few benefits towards a habitat, and in some cases can be damaging.
Soft vs. hard shorelines
An example of a report card, which is used to communicate the water quality of an estuary.
