The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $4 million cooperative agreement to Florida International University on September 1, 2022 through the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) to establish a monitoring network and database capturing the biological and biochemical diversity of phytoplankton and water quality measurements in Biscayne Bay, Florida. As part of a larger effort, Florida International University will provide 80 water samples per year from 10 sites in Biscayne Bay to Florida Gulf Coast University for extraction and analysis of up to seven classes of algal toxins using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methodology. Florida Gulf Coast University will also provide annual reports summarizing the toxin analysis results. The products will be incorporated into a publicly available database to guide resource managers in stewarding Biscayne Bay and detecting harmful algal blooms.
