Aquatic Cycling of Mercury in the Everglades The Southern Inland and Coastal System Project	How do environmental histories of the Everglades help future management? What do we know about pre-drainage conditions in the 1800's? What can soils tell us about the past that helps us today?
How are we going to adequately meet the increasing and competitive needs for water by the natural, urban, and agricultural areas? Who wants the water and who gets the water? What is Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) and how does it work? What is modeling and How does it help? How can we effectively communicate hydrologic information to decision makers and to the public? Why are modified water deliveries important to Everglades National Park?	What are they? Where do they come from? Where are they now? Where are they going? What can be done about them? What controls invasive animals? Can they "kill" the restoration effort? Biological Controls: How do we use natural enemies to tame weeds? Noxious Exotic Weed Task Team How do some non-native fishes help us?
How can we best describe, understand, and predict ecological changes at the landscape and regional levels? How can we determine the effects of landscape hydrology on specific animal populations? How can the ecological responses to different management alternatives be predicted in the landscape? How can effects of altered hydrologic conditions on the potential for breeding and foraging of wildlife populations in the landscape be modeled? How can the relative impacts on populations of endangered species from altered hydrologic conditions be assessed in the landscape? How can an understanding of the changes in the landscape be aided by studying vegetation patterns? Why is the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow important? The Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow: why does a tiny bird have a large impact?	Is mercury the Achilles Heel of the restoration effort? Can control of local sources reduce the risks? How will Everglades restoration affect mercury risks? Can management of water quantity or quality reduce the risks? Tracing Foodweb Relations and Fish Migratory Habits in the Everglades Mercury Toxicity in the Food Chain   What nutrient levels and loads need to be achieved in order to preserve the integrity of the ecosystem? What are the biological impacts of concern? What sources are significant and why? What controls are succeeding, or most likely to succeed? What are the predicted long term transport, fate and effects? How can the effects of increased phosphorus loading be determined at the landscape level for Everglades structure and functions?
How do we ensure the delivery of the right amount of fresh water - at the right time and of good quality - to sustain and enhance coastal waters? The Florida Keys: What is happening to the reef tract and why? The Florida Bay Interagency Science Program: Results: Scientific Information Resources Managers Need The Florida Bay Interagency Science Program: What is the correct quantity, timing, quality and spatial distribution of freshwater inflow from the Greater Everglades needed to restore and sustain the Florida Bay ecosystem? The St. Lucie River Estuary: How can we provide water and sediment of sufficient quality to support a healthy estuary system including oysters, submerged aquatic vegetation, and fisheries populations. Biscayne Bay: How can the quantity, timing, and quality of freshwater inflow be improved to sustain healthy ecosystems in all parts of this bay that stretches from surban areas to wilderness? The Caloosahatchee Estuary: What freshwater flow regime will protect and enhance submerged grass beds, and other biotic resources? The Southwest Florida Estuaries: How do we restore and protect these valuable estuaries? The Southwest Florida Project Coordination Team: How are we expanding the science needed for effective resource management?	How can agricultural research in South Dade enable natural land managers and farmers to work together to support habitat restoration? How can sugarcane research in the Everglades Agricultural Area enable natural land managers and farmers to work together to reduce phosphorus and restore natural hydrology? Best Management Practices - What Are They?   How do scientific studies enable managers to ensure the preservation and sustainability of wetlands and wildlife? What is happening to the grass in "The River of Grass?" Why are tree islands important and how do we restore them? How will research on fishes and wading birds help to guide and evaluate system restoration? How is restoration improved by research on alligators and crocodiles? How can we use computer models to aid the Florida Panther?
