Coastal Gradients of Flow, Salinity and Nutrients
Summary
|
The objective of this project is to operate and maintain ten hydrologic and water quality DCP's in the coastal and fresh water marsh environments of the Everglades in order to support a larger integrated monitoring network studying CERP restoration changes. |
Hydrologic and water quality information from this network will be made available for the development and calibration of hydrodynamic and water quality models of the Everglades, Florida Bay, and adjacent marine systems, and will supply physical data to help evaluate impacts from the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP). The network of data collection platforms (DCP's) collect information at points of interest along transects that represent major flow paths from the Everglades wetlands to the southern estuaries. The information collected on flow, salinity, temperature, ground water - surface water interactions, and nutrient flux will be provided annually within a USGS data report.
