John U. Lloyd State Park is a 251 acre recreation area located on Ocean Drive in Dania, Broward County, Florida. The park is adjacent to Port Everglades and has a beach front park spanning 2.5 miles. It preserves some of south Florida's vanishing natural resources, while at the same time offers the public usage of beach and water recreational activities. Surf fishing, picknicking, and canoeing along the tidal waterway New River Sound or Whiskey Creek are just some of the activities the public can enjoy.
The recreation area was named in memory of the late John U. Lloyd, Broward County's …

This study reports on the δ18O and δ13C composition of the skeleton from a 240-year-old specimen of Montastraea faveolata growing in Biscayne National Park, South Florida. Annual variations in the δ18O of the skeleton deposited during the summer months show a bimodal correlation with summer rainfall. During wetter years, the δ18O of the coral skeleton and the amount of precipitation during the summer months are inversely correlated (r = -0. 7) reflecting dilution of the seawater by meteoric water lower in δ18O. During years in which summer rainfall is less …
