wfrc.usgs.gov — Over the past 150 years, land reclamation activities have resulted in loss of significant amounts of tidal marshes (sometimes referred to as inter-tidal wetlands, the estuarine zone that is alternately flooded and exposed) in San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Bay/Delta). Recently, in an effort to halt or reverse the decline More...

fl.biology.usgs.gov — The African jewelfish (Hemichromis letourneuxi) has been established in canals surrounding the Miami area since the 1960s. With changes in water delivery to the park, the species has recently (2000) entered Everglades National Park and expanded its range westward through Big Cypress National Preserve. Simultaneously, African jewelfish from a More...
