This report consists of this letter along with corresponding tables and figures. Project Background This report includes water quality data collected monthly during the annual period of record (POR) Oct. – Dec. 2005 from 28 stations in Florida Bay, 22 stations in Whitewater Bay, 25 stations in Ten Thousand Islands, 25 stations in Biscayne Bay, and 28 stations in Cape Romano-Rookery Bay-Pine Island Sound. A total of 49 stations were also collected on the SW Florida Shelf on a quarterly basis. Figure 1 shows the location of the fixed sampling stations. Water quality parameters monitored at each station include the dissolved nutrients nitrate + nitrite (NO x ), nitrite (NO 2 ), nitrate (NO 3 ), ammonium (NH 4 ), inorganic nitrogen (DIN), and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP). Silicate (Si(OH) 4 ) was analyzed at all stations on a quarterly basis in conjunction with SW Shelf sampling. Total concentrations of nitrogen (TN), organic nitrogen (TON), phosphorus (TP), and organic carbon (TOC) were also measured. All concentrations for each of these parameters are reported as parts per million (ppm) except where noted. Biological parameters monitored included chlorophyll a (μg l -1 ) and alkaline phosphatase activity (APA; μM hr -1 ). Field parameters measured at both surface and bottom of the water column include salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO; mg l -1 ), and temperature ( o C). Turbidity (NTU) of the surface water was also measured.

This report consists of this letter along with corresponding tables and figures. Project Background This report includes water quality data collected monthly during the annual period of record (POR) Oct. – Dec. 2005 from 28 stations in Florida Bay, 22 stations in Whitewater Bay, 25 stations in Ten Thousand Islands, 25 stations in Biscayne Bay, and 28 stations in Cape Romano-Rookery Bay-Pine Island Sound. A total of 49 stations were also collected on the SW Florida Shelf on a quarterly basis. Figure 1 shows the location of the fixed sampling stations. Water quality parameters monitored at each station include the dissolved nutrients nitrate + nitrite (NOx), nitrite (NO2), nitrate (NO3), ammonium (NH4), inorganic nitrogen (DIN), and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP). Silicate (Si(OH)4) was analyzed at all stations on a quarterly basis in conjunction with SW Shelf sampling. Total concentrations of nitrogen (TN), organic nitrogen (TON), phosphorus (TP), and organic carbon (TOC) were also measured. All concentrations for each of these parameters are reported as parts per million (ppm) except where noted. Biological parameters monitored included chlorophyll a (µg l-1) and alkaline phosphatase activity (APA; µM hr-1). Field parameters measured at both surface and bottom of the water column include salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO; mg l-1), and temperature (oC). Turbidity (NTU) of the surface water was also measured.

  • Data Results A previous spatial analysis of data from Florida Bay resulted in the delineation of 3 groups of stations which have robust similarities in water quality (Fig. 2). We have argued that these spatially contiguous groups of stations are the result of similar loading and processing of materials, hence we call them 'zones of similar influence'. The Eastern Bay zone (FBE) acts most like a 'conventional' estuary in that it has a quasi-longitudinal salinity gradient caused by the mixing of freshwater runoff with seawater. In contrast, the Central Bay (FBC) is a hydrographically isolated area with low and infrequent terrestrial freshwater input, a long water residence time, and high evaporative potential. The Western Bay zone (FBW) is the most influenced by the Gulf of Mexico tides and is also isolated from direct overland freshwater sources. Station #7 - Highway Creek did not cluster out with any of the Florida Bay stations and was considered separately. Using the same statistical approach as above, the TTI-WWB complex was partitioned into 6 distinct zones of similar water quality (Fig. 3). The first cluster was composed of 13 stations in and around the Shark, Harney, Broad, and Lostmans Rivers and is called the Mangrove River (MR) group. This cluster also included a sampling station just off the Faka Union Canal. The second cluster was made up of the 8 stations enclosed within Whitewater Bay proper (WWB). Twelve stations situated mostly in and around the coastal islands of TTI-WWB formed the Gulf Island group (GI). The water quality characteristics at the Coot Bay site were sufficiently different so as to be a cluster of its own. The next cluster contained the northernmost 2 stations in the Blackwater River estuary (BLK). Finally, the Inland Wilderness Waterway zone (IWW) included 11 stations distributed throughout the inside passage as well as the Chatham River and the station off Everglades City. Biscayne Bay was partitioned into 6 distinct ZSI using the above statistical analysis. The first cluster was composed of 2 stations closest to the shore in the south Bay (Fig. 4); they were called the Alongshore group (AS). These are stations most influenced by the Goulds, Military and Mowry Canals. The second cluster was made up of the 5 stations farther from the coast called Inshore (IS). Thirteen stations situated mostly in the bay proper were called the main Bay (MAIN) group. The next cluster contained 3 stations situated in areas of great tidal exchange (ocean channel, not shown). Two stations in Card Sound grouped together SCARD. For purposes of this report, the stations added to the area north of the Rickenbacker Causeway are defined, a priori, as a distinct cluster, North Bay (NBAY). The above statistical analysis objectively classified the 49 Shelf sampling sites into 3 zones having similar water quality (Fig. 5). The first cluster was composed of only 2 stations which were closest to the shore off Cape Sable; they were called the SHARK group, after the Shark River, the main source of freshwater to the region. The second cluster was made up of the 7 more northerly stations nearest the coast and called SHOAL. The remaining stations were called the SHELF group. Sampling in the Rookery Bay area began Jan. 1999, so we now have 5 years of data available. But because of the very heterogeneous nature of the area, we will continue to use generally accepted geomorphological characteristics to group the stations (Fig. 6). These groupings are Cocohatchee River (COCO), Estero Bay (EST), Cape Romano-Marco Island (MARC), Naples Bay (NPL), Pine Island Sound (PIS), Rookery Bay (RB), and San Carlos Bay (SCB).

  • Data are also reported as box-and-whiskers plots (Figs. 7-28). The center horizontal line in the box is the median of the data, the top and bottom of the box are the 25th and 75th percentiles (quartiles), and the ends of the whiskers are the 5th and 95th percentiles. Summary statistics of all water quality parameters by ecosystem are shown in Table 1. The median was chosen because it is a more accurate measure of central tendency in non-normally distributed water quality data. The range is expressed as the minimum (Min.) and maximum (Max.) values for the POR, and n is the number of data points used in the analysis. This and prior sampling periods included the passage of three major hurricanes through the area: Hurricane Katrina 8/26, Hurricane Rita 9/20, and Hurricane Wilma 10/24. In addition, construction on the widening of Route 1 (the Stretch) began in earnest with the cutting of mangroves and stabilizing of soils. Stations in Eastern Florida Bay and South Card Sound experienced a large pulse of TP during October which resulted in some of the highest chlorophyll a values ever recorded. Three examples are shown below which illustrate the problem. We are not sure as to the cause of the TP increase but it was widespread affecting Card Sound, Barnes Sound, Manatee Bay, Blackwater Sound, Little Blackwater Sound, and most of Eastern Florida Bay. We will continue to analyze this and ancillary data and hope to find the cause for inclusion into the FY05 Annual Report in June.
