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

Map of the biogeographic provinces of the east coast of the United States. — Biogeographic province map

Conceptual diagram illustrating the biomagnification of mercury within the aquatic food chain. — Biomagnification of mercury within aquatic food…

Conceptual diagram illustrating a stake with an attached roosting block placed in an area with damaged seagrasses. Roosting birds defecate into the water adding nutrients that stimulate seagrass growth and recovery across the damaged area. — Bird stake installation

Conceptual diagram illustrating the life cycle of the black salt marsh mosquito. — Black salt marsh mosquito life cycle

Conceptual diagram illustrating how seagrass communities fix carbon from seawater using light energy from the sun and produce carbon sources that fuel the seagrass food web. leaves, detritus and animals exported from seagrass beds are a — Carbon fixation by seagrass communities

Conceptual diagram illustrating cesspool seepage into a residential canal prior to improved wastewater treatment. — Cesspool seepage prior to improved wastewater…

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 the processes in which oceanographic data are collected. — Collecting oceanographic data

Conceptual diagram illustrating the development of land from the Permian Period (299-251 million years ago [mya]), to the present. — Continental development

Conceptual diagram illustrating a cross section of an array of sampling wells surrounding a Class V injection well to determine rate and direction of wastewater plume and concentration of nutrients as the plume moves through limestone. — Cross section of sampling well array

Conceptual diagram illustrating the dominant mangrove species of south Florida. — Dominant mangrove species of south Florida

Epinephelus itajara (Atlantic Goliath Grouper) 1

Conceptual diagram illustrating the spawning migration of a female lobster tagged on a patch reef. This bird's eye view shows that she traveled to the fore reef and returned to her den 4 days later (Scale is approximate). — Female lobster spawning migration

Conceptual diagram illustrating current and historical hydrological conditions of the zones in Florida Bay. — Florida Bay hydrological conditions

Conceptual diagram illustrating a brief history of the Florida Keys during the Quaternary Period. — Florida Keys during the quaternary period

Conceptual diagram illustrating a coral polyp dividing by asexual budding to create a coral colony. — Formation of coral colony via asexual budding

Conceptual diagram illustrating a brief geological history of Florida. — Geological history of Florida

Conceptual diagram illustrating the goliath grouper life cycle and movement of various life stages throughout the nearshore and reef environments. — Goliath grouper life cycle

Conceptual diagram illustrating the biomass and population numbers of goliath groupers in south Florida. — Goliath grouper population (Florida)

Conceptual diagram illustrating a healthy coral reef ecosystem (left) and a biologically stressed coral reef ecosystem (right). Arrows indicate consumption or other negative impact to life corals. — Healthy vs. biologically stressed coral reef…
