Download or read book Watershed Scale Planning to Reduce Land based Sources of Pollution LBSP for Protection of Coral Reefs in Southeast Florida written by Nigel Pickering and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this document is to provide National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative (SEFCRI), and coral reef conservation partners with a baseline assessment of available data, as well as planning and assessment reports that are useful and necessary inthe effort to reduce loads from land-based sources of pollutants (LBSP) to the Southeast Florida coral reef ecosystem. Valuable work has been performed to date by others in reviewing and summarizing the complicated issue of LBSP in southeast Florida as it pertains to the coral reef tract and supporting habitats. Two key documents that lay a foundation for this project are the Land Based Sources of habitats. Two key documents that lay a foundation for this project are the Land Based Sources of Pollution Local Action Strategy Combined Projects 1 & 2...and a Literature Review and Synthesis of Land-Based Sources of Pollution Affecting Essential Fish Habitats in Southeast Florida...Our report provides a summary of LBSP information, including assessment and planning reports as well as data, organized by the inlet contributing areas (ICAs), or watersheds, that drain to the coral reef tract. It also identifies gaps in data, assessment and planning for LBSP reduction in the SEFCRI ICAs. The purpose for organizing the data and information according to ICA is to provide a starting point FOR watershed-based planning and to assist NOAA and SEFCRI in prioritizing LBSP reduction projects and funding that will be pursued"--Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report addresses the Land Based Sources of Pollution (LBSP) Local Action Strategy Project 21 - Evaluate the outcomes of LBSP Project 3 and 19 to identify gaps in best management practices. Specifically, it provides a preliminary overview of the programs already in place to reduce LBSP, and makes initial recommendations for improving both state and local programs that affect coral reef habitat. This final report presents the first phase of this project, and as such it assesses the program database from LBSP Project 3/19 for gaps, determines priority areas of concern, and establishes a set of recommendations to reduce LBSP for s outheast Florida"--P. 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This document outlines a plan for implementing the CRCP National Goals for addressing LBSP and supporting identified local priorities related to this threat. The implementation plan identifies the particular expertise, tools, and support the CRCP can provide to assure our partner jurisdictions have the capacity to successfully achieve management goals to reduce the impacts of LBSP to coral reef ecosystems and to effectively manage watersheds. Additionally, this implementation plan is intended to clearly articulate CRCP's niche in addressing LBSP, identify areas of collaboration, and ultimately help inform future LBSP funding decisions over the next five years (2011 - 2015). For the purposes of the LBSP Implementation Plan, NOAA's partnering jurisdictions include: American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Hawaii, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands"--Executive summary.
Download or read book Literature Review and Synthesis of Land based Sources of Pollution Affecting Essential Fish Habitats in Southeast Florida written by Kurtis L. Gregg and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report identifies and describes the primary pollutant threats in Florida and mechanisms for introduction into estuarine and marine ecosystems. Additionally, a review of available literature on marine and estuarine habitats in southeast Florida showed that sustainable coral reef ecosystems require functional back reef habitats (e.g. seagrass, mangrove, soft bottom, coastal inlets and nearshore hardbottom) to provide nursery, shelter, and foraging opportunities for reef fish and the other organisms in coral reef and associated habitats. Ecosystem management brings an integrated perspective to natural resource management. It takes a big-picture approach, replacing short term, single species management with multi-species, long-term and large-scale approaches. This report provides a description of the habitats designated as Essential Fish Habitats and identifies the main LBSP threats to each habitat type"--Executive summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Water quality problems, including sedimentation and over enrichment of nutrients, have the potential to adversely impact coral reef ecosystems. Coral reefs evolved in oligotrophic waters, but over the past century have been subjected to increasing levels of nutrients due to human activities. Excess nutrient loads can cause increases in macroalgal growth and can have deleterious effects on corals, such as macroalgae outcompeting and overgrowing corals (D'Angelo and Wiedenmann 2014). Furthermore, nitrogen and phosphorus can impact corals directly by lowering fertilization success (Harrison and Ward, 2001), and reducing both photosynthesis and calcification rates (Marubini and Davis, 1996). However, threshold values, above which coral impacts are likely, have not been well established. As more research on threshold values becomes available, it is important that method detection limits are sufficiently low to capture ecologically relevant levels"--Page 2.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report presents a frame work for managing the Coral Bay Watershed, St. John, USVI based on a pilot watershed planning study conducted primarily by the Center for Watershed Protection (CWP) and the USVI Department of Planning and Natural Resources Division of Coastal Zone Management (DPNR CZM) under a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coral Program funding NCNC3000-6-00007. CWP and a number of agency and non-government partners have worked together on this project to identify priority management recommendations and implementation strategy for the Coral Bay Watershed based on a review of existing studies, input from stakeholder meetings, and observations from on-the-ground assessments"--Introduction.
