Abstract / Description
-
The objective of this study was to update the ichthyofaunal data base through a comprehensive five-year sampling program. The fish community was evaluated in order to determine the biotic integrity of the Peace River. In this study, biotic integrity was qualitatively evaluated by integrating the following parameters: fish abundance and biomass, species richness, composition and diversity.

On September 15, 1995, construction began on the Alafia River Oyster Bar Restoration Demonstration Project. The intent of the project was to re-establish oyster bars in the lower Alafia River which have historiclly been lost to dredging of the shipping channel and associated turning basin adjacent to Cargill Fertilizer Company. The progress of these oyster bars has been monitored quarterly over a three year period.

Abstract / Description

Archaeologists have questioned whether scallop beds associated with Calusa Native American middens were a product of harvesting for food. A scallop assemblage was recovered from a bed within a Late Archaic (785-745 BC) Calusa midden located on the northern end of Pine Island, Southwest Florida. Two hypotheses were tested: (1) the scallops in the collection represent one population of Argopecten irradians (Atlantic Bay Scallop, ABS), and (2) the scallops were harvested by the Calusa.

Show moreArchaeologists have questioned whether scallop beds associated with Calusa Native American middens were a product of harvesting for food. A scallop assemblage was recovered from a bed within a Late Archaic (785-745 BC) Calusa midden located on the northern end of Pine Island, Southwest Florida. Two hypotheses were tested: (1) the scallops in the collection represent one population of Argopecten irradians (Atlantic Bay Scallop, ABS), and (2) the scallops were harvested by the Calusa. Evidence to support species identification comes from rib count, shell length, and ctenolium teeth. Specimens were consistent with the morphology of ABS, rather than the A. gibbus (Calico Scallop) (Mikkelson, 2008). Ribs number between 17-22, lengths range from 4.1-7.3 cm, and the ctenolium have 3-5 teeth. Nearly half the shells displayed systematic breakage along the ventral edge, suggesting the scallops were harvested. The pristine taphonomic grades of the shell interiors, versus the poorly preserved shell exteriors, support the notion that scallops were removed from the estuarine environment alive, killed, and then deposited on land as refuse, as opposed to being deposited by natural forces. Scallops were clearly harvested as food by the Calusa. Whether the fishery was over exploited has yet to be determined.

Most recently, Florida has been identified as a hub for such activity, citing one of the highest incidences of human trafficking in the country. My research shows that through investigation of the number of referrals compared to the limited number of prosecutions exhibits that human trafficking is a growing problem but offenders are rarely charged. More specifically, this research examines the number of referrals and how few of them are indicted under the category of human trafficking.

The purpose of this investigation is to document the types of aquatic benthic organisms found within the Everglades and to determine the extent to which the chemical and physical character of surface water and bottom materials affect their distribution and community structure. The scope of this investigation included the collection of benthic organisms from October 1972 to April 1974.

The scope of this investigation included the collection of benthic organisms from October 1972 to April 1974. Two samplings were completed during the dry season (April 1973-74) and two during the wet season (October 1972-73). Of the 12 stations sampled, 10 were canals and 2 were in the open marsh. Comparison of species diversities calculated from similar investigations done in south Florida in recent years is made.

Integrons are versatile genetic units found in bacterial genomes that have evolved to code for antibiotic resistance. With overuse of antibiotics and poor waste management, aquatic environments have become a breeding ground for antibiotic resistant bacteria containing these integrons. It’s important to track integron activity to help prevent worldwide bacterial resistance.

Show moreIntegrons are versatile genetic units found in bacterial genomes that have evolved to code for antibiotic resistance. With overuse of antibiotics and poor waste management, aquatic environments have become a breeding ground for antibiotic resistant bacteria containing these integrons. It’s important to track integron activity to help prevent worldwide bacterial resistance. Water samples were taken in the Fort Myers area in triplicates from Dogs Beach, Fort Myers beach, FGCU waterfront, Yacht club, Barefoot Beach and 41 bridge. Descriptions of the area such as animals, people, vegetation and weather were observed at each location. Coliform bacteria were selected from the water samples using EMB agar and antibiotic resistance bacteria were isolated using various degrees of antibiotic agar. Bacterial isolates were sequenced via PCR, identified by agarose gel and compared to intl1 gene from a class one integron. Class one integrons confers antibiotic resistance and their presence is associated with poor waste management. The sample from Fort Myers beach had antibiotic resistant bacteria and the EMB had small traces of E. coli, but all bacterial isolates were negative for the present of the intl1 gene from the class one integron.

This document presents an analysis of the utility, feasibility and applicability of the Interceptor Waterway Concept as a land development aid in the vicinity of the Rookery Bay Sanctuary, Collier County, Florida. It attempts to indicate those areas in which the Interceptor Waterway could be employed to ecological advantage, and considers the ecological factors involved and possible design criteria to be employed.

Show moreAccording to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (2010), the demand for STEM-educated teachers in the United States is increasing. With limited time and space in the general classroom setting, Environmental Education (EE) is becoming increasingly more important to the education system. The Environmental Education Alliance of Southwest Florida (EE Alliance) is a community of practice that relies on participation of local experts to create successful environmental education programs. This study identifies the needs of environmental education in Southwest Florida through the EE Alliance by eliciting the perspectives of local EE professionals. A survey was sent to a total of 219 participants of the EE Alliance listserv; 50 responses were received. This study collects quantitative data from Likerttype survey response as well as qualitative data obtained from open response comments sections. The study identifies the perceived needs of material resources (resources that can be bought with funding), human resources (the knowledge, amount, and adequacy of staff), and social resources (the ability to create partnerships, relationships, and professional development opportunities) in order to run successful environmental education programs.
