Long-Term Trends Of Nitrogen Loading, Water Quality And Biological Indicators In Hillsborough Bay, Florida, J.O. R. Johansson

Reports

This report addresses general background information on Hillsborough Bay water quality, compares long-term nitrogen loading trends to water quality indicators, and recommends management options for improving bay conditions.

Draft- Nitrogen Loading And Ambient Chlorophyll-A In Hillsborough Bay (Tampa Bay), Florida: An Eutrophication Management Strategy, J.O. R. Johansson

Reports

The present report examines the past and current relationship between nitrogen loadings and ambient chlorophyll-a eutrophic subdivision of Tampa Bay (Task 1). A management strategy for eutrophication abatement, involving the reduction of present nitrogen loadings to levels which will sustain the desirable chlorophyll-a concentration and support persistent seagrass growth in the near future, is also presented for Hillsborough Bay (Task 3). The urgent need for a comprehensive long-term water quality and loading source monitoring program, specifically for Hillsborough Bay, is also discussed (Task 4).

Primary Productivity In Hillsborough Bay, City Of Tampa Department Of Sanitary Sewers

Reports

This study was designed to be a long term ecological study. Effects of nutrient removal through time on productivity is expected to be shown.

As the treatment progresses from primary to secondary, to nitrification, to denitrification, we expect to be able to document corresponding drops in productivity levels.
