Description
From an academic perspective, IT would be valuable to continue monitoring okaloosa darters thereafter to provide insight into long-term population dynamics and responses to a changing environment. Okaloosa darters may also serve as an indicator species for streamsthat drain into boggy, rocky, and toms bayous. The primary objective of this project is to conduct a visual survey of the abundance of okaloosa darters at 22 long-term monitoring sites. A secondary objective of this project is to provide training and experience to undergraduate students interested in environmental scienceand other stem fields.monitoring will be completed during the summer when both adult and recent recruits are present and stream conditions are most amenable to underwater visual census methods. Abundance of okaloosa darters will be estimated at a suite of 22 long-term monitoring sites located throughout eglin AFB. This includes a new monitoring site on toms creek to provide a better estimate for this genetically distinct subpopulation (austin ET AL. 2011). Dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and conductivity will be measured at each site prior to conducting visual censuses.
