Conceptual diagram illustrating several of the more notable species provided habitat by mangrove forests.
Mangrove forest wildlife
Conceptual diagram illustrating the critical habitat that mangroves provide for a variety of animals.
Mangroves provide critical habitat
Conceptual diagram illustrating a modern central collection and wastewater treatment plant.
Modern Wastewater Treatment
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
Conceptual diagram illustrating potential impacts of sea-level rise on mangrove dominated shorelines.
Potential inundation of mangroves by sea-level…
Conceptual diagram illustrating the inverse relationship between the size of plants and their growth rates and nutrient requirements.
Relationship between plant size, nutrient…
Conceptual diagram illustrating several of the sources of pollution to nearshore waters in the Florida Keys.

Conceptual diagram illustrating the south Florida marine environment, which is closely linked to upland and upstream influence.
South Florida marine environment
Conceptual diagram illustrating annual mean water volume transports in Florida Bay and through the Keys.
South Florida water volume transport
Conceptual diagram illustrating the nitrogen cycle.
The nitrogen cycle
Conceptual diagram illustrating the phosphorus cycle.
The phosphorus cycle
Conceptual diagram illustrating a virus tracer study demonstrating that Class V injection wells can cause contamination of surface waters within the environment due to the porous nature of the limestone substrate.
Virus tracer study
Conceptual diagram illustrating how water can detect contaminants, such as mercury, that can become biomagnified through food webs, and is toxic to consumers.
Water quality monitoring
Conceptual diagram illustrating saltwater intrusion on barrier islands due to climate change. As sea-level rises, ocean saltwater travels underground until it reaches the fresh groundwater in the mixing zone.
Saltwater Intrusion on Barrier Islands
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.
Relative Sea-level Rise
Conceptual diagram illustrating thermal expansion of the ocean in relation to climate change.
Experiment for Thermal Expansion
Diagram showing threats to the seagrasses and birds in the Gulf of Mexico.

Conceptual diagram illustrating the effects of climate change on polar ice. There are two kinds of polar ice - ice that floats on the sea (sea ice) or ice that sits on land (land ice). The experiment demonstrates that sea ice does not impact sea-level rise when it melts, but land ice does add to sea-level rise when it melts into the ocean.
Experiment Demonstrating Melting Ice
Conceptual diagram illustrating changes due to the warming of the atmosphere. The average temperature on Earth has been increasing for many years, caused by increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Rising temperatures lead to a number of changes around the world.
Atmosphere Warming Changes
