Conceptual diagram illustrating the causes of seagrass die-off in Florida Bay.
Model explaining seagrass die-off in Florida Bay
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 primary productivity within seagrass beds.
Primary productivity of seagrass beds
Conceptual diagram illustrating the generalized distribution of seagrass species with depth.

Conceptual diagram illustrating a schematic view of south Florida, including Miami and Biscayne Bay, showing physical connectivity of marine habitats and movement of life stages of grouper among habitat types.
South Florida adult habitat gradient
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.

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
On a property that was grandfathered to build on a tiny waterfront lot, the owner was allowed by the local zoning department to fill in a low wetland where his well (white pipe) and dock electric service (right center of photo) were located. As this photo documents, this low area was frequently flooded.
Homeowner is allowed to fill in wetlands
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
Conceptual diagram illustrating the effects of sea-level rise and storm surges on barrier islands. When sea-level rise combines with strong storms, barrier islands experience high storm surges, which increases the effects of flooding and erosion.
