This project is jointly funded by the South Florida Water Management District and the U.S. Geological Survey Place-Based Studies Program, under SFWMD contract no. C-13400, Biscayne Bay Paleoecological Salinity Study. We would especially like to thank our Project Managers Richard Alleman and Trisha Stone at SFWMD, and Ronnie Best, USGS, for their assistance and support. Many individuals at Biscayne National Park have facilitated this research; Richard Curry and Shay Viehman deserve special thanks. Heather Henkel, USGS St. Petersburg, deserves special thanks and recognition for compiling the text and figures into electronic publishing format. We owe our gratitude to the radiology department at Mariners Hospital, Tavernier, FL. Meg Griswald, Radiology Supervisor, accommodated us and made arrangements for us to have our cores x-rayed. Joan Baker and Cathy Ball, radiology technicians at Mariners, did an incredible job producing the x-radiographs of the cores included in this report. Keys Marine Lab, Long Key Florida, provided the facilities for us to cut the cores. Jack McGeehin, USGS, conducted the carbon-14 analyses. Bruce Wardlaw, USGS, improved the quality of this manuscript with his thorough review.
