    Port Everglades Macroinvertebrate Monitoring: Monitoring of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Assemblages at the Southport Turning Basin and Adjacent Areas of John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area: August 1992 (With a Summary of the August 1991 and January 1992 Surveys)

    This report documents the August 1992 monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in the Pon Everglades Southpon turning basin vicinity and adjacent areas of John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area. This is the third monitoring effort of the series carried out by Nova University Oceanographic Center. Sampling was carried out chiefly during the first two weeks of August 1992. Hurricane Andrew and its aftermath resulted in delays in sampling at several sites and in analyzing data. A two-week postponement in submission deadline was requested and granted. An additional postponement, to 31 January 1992, was requested due to a move at the Smithsonian Institution that prevented some consultants from returning identifications on time. A history of the monitoring project since its inception in 1988 was given in the report submitted December 1991 and is included here again for reference. This report also includes the tabular data for the two previous surveys (August 1991 and January 1992) together with a discussion of all three surveys carried out by Nova University. Please note modifications to the Ponar grab sample data for the January 1992 survey. In the original report for that survey, we inadvertently omitted doubling the dataset from large volume samples of which we sorted 50% (following the methodology described below). Diversity indices were not affected

    Port Everglades Macroinvertebrate Monitoring: Monitoring of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Assemblages at the Southport Turning Basin and Adjacent Areas of John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area: August 1993 (Including a Summary of Previous Survey Results, 1991-1993)

    This report documents the August 1993 monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in the Port Everglades Southport turning basin vicinity and adjacent areas of John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area. This is the fifth monitoring effort of the series carried out by Nova University Oceanographic Center. Sampling was carried out chiefly during 2-12 August. Hand collections and a few crab survey stations were delayed until 2-12 October primarily because of weather and tidal constraints

    Port Everglades Macroinvertebrate Monitoring: Monitoring of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Assemblages at the Southport Turning Basin and Adjacent Areas of John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area: January 1992

    This repurt documents the January 1992 monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in the Port Everglades Southport turning basin vicinity and adjacent areas of John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area. This is the second monitoring effort of the series carried out by Nova University Oceanographic Center. Sampling was carried out during the first two weeks of January 1992. A history of the monitoring project since its inception in 1988 was given in the previous report (submitted December 1991)

    Port Everglades Macroinvertebrate Monitoring: Monitoring of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Assemblages at the Southport Turning Basin and Adjacent Areas of John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area: January 1993: Final Version

    This report documents the January 1993 monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in the Port Everglades Southport turning basin vicinity and adjacent areas of John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area. This is the fourth monitoring effort of the series carried out by Nova University Oceanographic Center. Sampling was carried out during 4-15 January and 1-22 February 1993, the extended period due chiefly to weather and tidal constraints. Comparison with results of preceding survey efforts will be included in the annual report following the August 1993 survey. The section treating the Ponar grab samples is now complete: identifications of the remaining groups of invertebrates (oligochaetes, sipunculans, cumaceans, nemertines) have been received from consultants, and the data have been incorporated, along with calculation of diversity indices and evenness values

    Port Everglades Macroinvertebrate Monitoring: Monitoring of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Assemblages at the Southport Turning Basin and Adjacent Areas of John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area: January 1996

    This report documents the January 1996 monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in the Port Everglades Southport turning basin vicinity and adjacent areas of John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area. This is the eighth monitoring effort of the series carried out by Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center. Collections were made between 17 and 31 January 1996

    Annual Periodicity of the 18O16O and 13C12C ratios in the coral Montastrea annularis

    Get PDF
    The isotopic ratios 18O/16O and 13C/12C show an annual periodicity in the coral Montastrea annularis from Bermuda, Jamaica and Barbados. The abundances of 18O and 13C are positively correlated in the Jamaica and Barbados samples, but inversely related in the Bermuda sample. Annual high density growth bands are formed during the season of warmest water temperature at all 3 sites and are enriched in 16O. M. Annularis has a constant displacement from oxygen isotopic equilibrium and accurately records seasonal temperature variations via the temperature-dependent aragonite-water fractionation factor. Light intensity, through the activity of the coral\u27s endosymbiotic algae, regulates the depth-dependent and seasonal variations in the skeletal carbon isotopic composition

    Port Everglades Macroinvertebrate Monitoring: Monitoring of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Assemblages at the Southport Turning Basin and Adjacent Areas of John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area: August 1991

    Get PDF
    This report documents the August 1991 monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in the Port Everglades Southport turning basin vicinity and adjacent areas of John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area. This is the first monitoring effort of the series carried out by Nova University Oceanographic Center. As of this sampling period, the turning basin is complete and in operation; mitigation areas in John U. Lloyd Park exhibit considerable vegetative expansion of cord grass, growth of mangrove seedlings, and natural recruitment of additional mangrove propagules (including black and white mangroves). Sampling was carried out during the last week of August and extended through September 1991 due to weather constraints and because precise locations of several stations could not be confirmed until the former contractor was consulted
