A Field Study Of Selected Ecological Properties Of Boca Ciega Bay And Adjacent Gulf Of Mexico, Geo-Marine, Inc.

Reports

This report describes a quantitative study of selected environmental parameters in a portion of Boca Ciega Bay and in the Gulf of Mexico adjacent to Johns Pass. The investigation included an analysis of hydrography and water quality during the period 14-20 February 1973. The objective of the study was to assess the present marine environment in order to judge the ecological feasibility of discharging tertiary treated sewage effluent into Boca Ciega Cay or secondary treated effluent into the Gulf of Mexico. The discharge would come from the proposed expansion of the South Cross Bayou sewage treatment plant.

Reports

This report is one in a continuing series on environmental quality in the Anclote estuary near Tarpon Springs, Florida. Much of the base line ecological data now collected will be outlined here and in subsequent works. Full scale power plant operations are scheduled to commence during the summer of 1974 after which time documentation of the nature and degree of environmental impact by the power plant will begin.
