Clams and oysters in Charlotte County and vicinity.
Creator
Woodburn, Kenneth D., PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description
Field investigations made in June of 1962 in association with the Florida Conservation Patrol to survey three species of bivalve mollusks that have commercial significance in Charlotte County and the vicinity. The species studied were the Quahog hardshell clam, Mercenaria campechiensis, the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, and the Rangia marsh clam, Rangia cuneata. The study is aimed at preserving the viability of commercial clam and oyster harvesting in the area in the face of...

A Comparison of Drainage Basin Nutrient Inputs with Instream Nutrient Loads for Seven Rivers in Georgia and Florida, 1986-90.
Creator
Asbury, Clyde E. (Clyde Ellis), Oaksford, Edward T., Geological Survey (U.S.), National Water-Quality Assessment Program (U.S.)
Abstract/Description
Instream nutrient loads of the Altamaha, Suwannee, St. Johns, Satilla, Ogeechee, Withlacoochee, and Ochlockonee River basins were computed and compared with nutrient inputs for each basin for the period 1986-90. Nutrient constituents that were considered included nitrate, ammonia, organic nitrogen, and total phosphorus. Sources of nutrients considered for this analysis included atmospheric deposition, fertilizer, animal waste, wastewater-treatment plant discharge, and septic discharge.

Abstract/Description
The purpose of this report is to describe and compare two methods (the tidal-estimation and basin-ratio methods) that were used for estimating discharge and nutrient loads for the tidal reaches of the Myakka and Peace River Basins. Data were collected during four separate 30-day periods during 1994 and 1995; two of the periods represented low-flow conditions and two represented high-flow conditions. Both methods were used to compute discharge and nutrient loads for the data-collection periods...

Abstract/Description
The Florida Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey and the city of Sarasota, drilled and analyzed a deep core hole located at the Sarasota Downtown Well Field. The investigation focused on the Neogene and Paleogene lithostratigraphy and the Floridan aquifer system. A lithologic description for the core was genereated utilizing a binocular microscope.

The objectives of this project were to increase the geologic/hydrogeologic well data available in these counties, to translate existing lithologic descriptions of wells within the district to computer format and to add this data to the District computer data base. These objectives were met by the translation of over 180 existing well logs to computer format, by drilling and evaluating the data for six cores, and merging all of this data with the existing FGS and District computer data bases.

Data on Ground-Water Quality with Emphasis on Radionuclides, Sarasota County, Florida.
Creator
Sutcliffe, Horace., Miller, R. L. (Robert Lind)
Abstract/Description
The radiochemical data presented in this report were acquired by selective sampling and logging of existing wells and new wells as they were drilled between January 1976 and April 1979. Wells selected for radiochemical sampling were those open to specific water-bearing zones or those which were sampled at specific depths as they were drilled. These samples were analyzed for radium-226 and occasionally for radium-228, and for major ions. Borehole geophysical logging techniques that were used...

Abstract/Description
During the time that the desalination plant has been in operation, questions have been raised by water-management agencies concerning the ability of the deep artesian aquifers underlying Sanibel and Captiva Islands to continue supplying the water needed to meet the increasing demand with a salinity low enough for the desalination plant to operate effectively. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the water-supply potential of the deeper aquifers. During the 24-month investigation ...

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the water-supply potential of the deeper aquifers. During the 24-month investigation (October 1975-1977) an important objective was to locate and inventory all existing wells that tapped the deep artesian aquifers. Except for a few, all known wells were found. Water levels and water samples were obtained at the wells. No test wells were drilled as part of this investigation, although one observation well was drilled on Sanibel Island as part of a countywide monitoring network.

Demonstration of Large-Scale Reintroduction of the Southern Bay Scallop to Tampa Bay, Florida: final report, January 17, 1996.
Creator

Abstract/Description
The southern bay scallop, Argopecten irradians concentricus, is one of the only non-finfish species to support a large, although rapidly declining, recreational interest in the state of Florida. Bay scallops, which require good water quality, had all but disappeared from Tampa Bay by 1963. Recent studies have indicated that sections of Tampa Bay may once again be capable of supporting viable bay scallop populations. These scallops were seeded to several areas of the bay and also placed at...

Bay scallops, which require good water quality, had all but disappeared from Tampa Bay by 1963. Recent studies have indicated that sections of Tampa Bay may once again be capable of supporting viable bay scallop populations. These scallops were seeded to several areas of the bay and also placed at various locations in the bay in cages. The purpose of this project was to attempt to increase the population of the southern bay scallop in Tampa Bay by providing spawning stocks to various locations throughout the eastern portion of the bay.
