BENTHIC RESTING CYSTS OF GONYAULAX MONILATA HOWELL AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO RED TIDES IN THE INDIAN RIVER, FLORIDA
(1982)Gonyaulax monilata cysts were found in the sediments from 13 of 37 stations sampled in the Indian River, Florida. The distribution of cysts appears to be the result of 2 unrelated phenomena. In areas where blooms have ... -
THE DIET OF THE FLORIDA POMPANO (TRACHINOTUS CAROLINUS) ALONG THE EAST COAST OF CENTRAL FLORIDA
(1980)The diet of the Florida pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) was investigated hy examining stomach contents of adults from the Indian River and juveniles from the surf zone off Brevard County. Juveniles consumed primarily henthic ... -
Distribution of the hermit crabs Clibanarius vittatus and Pagurus maclaughlinae in the northern Indian River Lagoon, Florida: A reassessment after 30 years
(2011-05)The present distribution of two hermit crabs, Clibanarius vittatus and Pagurus maclaughlinae, was assessed for comparison with a study done more than 30 yr ago on decapods of the region. Clibanarius vittatus presently ... -
Distributions of Polychaetes as a Function of Sediment Composition in a Subtropical Lagoon
(2017-10)Fine-grained organic-rich sediments (FGORS) in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida, the human activities and nutrient inputs and have a varied composition, including water content, silt-clay content, and organic matter. ... -
Estimation of Submarine Groundwater Discharge into the Indian River Lagoon
(2016-03-21)A calibrated and validated finite difference numerical model was used to estimate the spatial and temporal distribution of the Meteoric Groundwater Discharge (MGWD) and Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) into a coasted ... -
FACTORS INFLUENCING SEAGRASS ECOLOGY IN THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON
(1983)Effects of water depth, water temperature, light intensity, epiphyte coverage, detrital accumulation and sediment resuspension and shifting on seagrass ecology in the Indian River Lagoon system were studied from April 1977 ... -
The geochemistry of interstitial water for a sediment core from the Indian River Lagoon, Florida
(1987)Chemical results for interstitial water from organic-rich sediments in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida, show a classic picture of biogeochemical reactions in anoxic environments. Interstitial nitrate was depleted throughout ... -
THE GEOCHEMISTRY OF INTERSTITIAL WATER FOR A SEDIMENT CORE FROM THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON, FLORIDA
(1987)Chemical results for interstitial water from organic-rich sediments in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida, show a classic picture of biogeochemical reactions in anoxic environments. Interstitial nitrate was depleted throughout ... -
GROUNDWATER SEEPAGE INTO THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON AT PORT ST LUCIE
(1989)A finite element program, GROSEEP, was developed to estimate the groundwater seepage from the surficial aquifer into Indian River lagoon along a selected cross-section in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The model is a general ... -
HOLOCENE EVOLUTION OF INDIAN RIVER LAGOON IN CENTRAL BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA
(1990)This study examined the coastal response of central Brevard County to rising Holocene sea level as it has been recorded in sediments of Indian River lagoon. The typical Holocene sediment sequence, in ascending order, ... -
HYDROGRAPHIC FEATURES OF FORT PIERCE INLET, FLORIDA
(1980)Circulation of the Fort Pierce Inlet and adjacent portions of the Indian River on Florida's Central East Coast was investigated during a 2 yr period. The currents were predominantly tidally driven, with wind effects becoming ... -
Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Protocol Development for Submerged Aquatic Vegetation in Shallow Water
(2004-02-26)Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) is an important indicator of freshwater and marine water quality in almost all shallow water aquatic environments. Throughout the world the diversity of submerged aquatic vegetation appears ... -
Image analysis for water surface and subsurface feature detection in shallow waters
(2010-09-20)Carefully collected airborne imagery demonstrates the ability to see water surface features as well as shallow bottom features such as submerged vegetation and manmade targets. Traditional photogrammetric imagery and ... -
MEASUREMENT OF WIND-DRIVEN CURRENTS IN A LAGOON
(1974)Knowledge of the circulation processes and patterns of lagoonal waters is of major importance if their overall biological and physical characteristics are to be more completely understood. In addition, such circulation ... -
THE OCCURRENCE OF A TOXIC DINOFLAGELLATE IN THE INDIAN RIVER SYSTEM
(1983)References to the toxic dinoflagellate, Gonyaulax monilata Howell, in the Indian and Banana rivers are compiled from published and unpublished sources. The inability of researchers to find motile cells for extended periods ... -
Salinity tolerance and osmotic response of the estuarine hermit crab Pagurus maclaughlinae in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida.
(2010)Pagurus maclaughlinae is the most common hermit in the Indian River Lagoon System. Wide variations in lagoonal salinity make it likely that P. maclaughlinae is euryhaline and that other hermit species in the area are ... -
Super-oceanic winds over a narrow coastal estuary in onshore flow events
(2016-01-13)Indian River Lagoon Winds -- Shallow water estuary -- Average depth ~ 1 m -- Fetch limited except NNW/SSE -- Stretches 150 miles north/south -- Limited exchange with ocean via inlets -- Improvement of wind forcing ... -
Synoptic climatology of high-impact wind events on the Indian River Lagoon
(2016)Wind direction and speeds have important hydrodynamic impacts in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), from wind-driven coastal erosion to saltwater intrusion into bodies of non-saline ground water. Because the IRL is isolated ... -
Thematic Categories & Associated Metrics to Develop an Indian River Lagoon Report Card
The Indian River Lagoon (IRL) is a 156 mile estuary system that extends from Ponce De Leon Inlet to Jupiter Inlet (Busby, 1993). The IRL is home to over 3,500 species and promotes an industry of over 3.7 billion dollars a ... -
TRACE METALS IN THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON, FLORIDA: THE COPPER STORY
(1983)Inputs of copper from anti-fouling paints presently pose an environmental stress on some restricted embayments of the Indian River Lagoon, Florida. Over an 18 mo period, samples of water, suspended matter, sediments, ...
