Seagrass And Caulerpa Monitoring In Hillsborough Bay Initial Report, City Of Tampa Department Of Sanitary Sewers
Seagrass And Caulerpa Monitoring In Hillsborough Bay Initial Report, City Of Tampa Department Of Sanitary Sewers
Reports
The City of Tampa, Bay Study Group (BSG), has monitored the effects of sewage pollution abatement in Hillsborough Bay since 1976. Within the last decade, water quality improvements and evidence of minor seagrass revegetation in Hillsborough Bay prompted the BSG to initiate a seagrass study to compliment other programs assessing the environmental status of Hillsborough Bay.
Draft- Nitrogen Loading And Ambient Chlorophyll-A In Hillsborough Bay (Tampa Bay), Florida: An Eutrophication Management Strategy, J.O. R. Johansson
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).
