The project aims to...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $325,432 Cooperative Agreement under the Geographic Programs - Gulf of America Program (CFDA 66.475) to the University of South Florida (USF) to support efforts in improving the water quality of the Gulf of America. The key activities to be performed include: Installing a sensor array to continuously monitor concentrations of nitrate, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, pH, and fluorescent dissolved organic matter in the Suwannee River and Suwannee River Estuary in the Big Bend region of Florida. Collecting and analyzing discrete water samples to complement data from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Developing a hydrodynamic model to analyze the hydrological and biogeochemical controls on nutrient cycling under different nutrient loading and hydrodynamic scenarios. The anticipated deliverables and expected outcomes include quantifying the magnitude of nutrient fluxes through the Suwannee River on an annual and seasonal basis, determining the fate of nutrients in the estuary, and identifying the freshwater springs that contribute most to the overall export of nutrients. This research is expected to benefit residents and communities in the Big Bend region through improved water quality and restored habitats.
