Contaminants And Biogeochemical Cycles In The Greater Everglades
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and it partners sponsored the Joint Conference on the Science and Restoration of the Greater Everglades and Florida Bay Ecosystem--From Kissimmee to the Keys, Palm Harbor, Florida, April 13-18, 2003. The Florida Bay and Adjacent Marine Systems Science Conference and the Greater Everglades Ecosystem Restoration (G.E.E.R.) Science Conference were combined to create one large conference. The USGS’s Toxic Substances Hydrology Program and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, South Florida Field Office, cosponsored a special session at the joint conference on "Contaminants And Biogeochemical Cycles In The Greater Everglades."
