|a The mangroves along Biscayne Bay from Coral Gables to the Monroe County line have been classified into major types of communities and their productivity estimated. Five communities were distinguished: Coastal Band, Dense Scrub, Sparse Scrub, White & Mixed and Black Marsh. These produced plant litter at rates of from about 0.5 to 3.9 tons per acre per year. The Coastal Band of mature mangroves along the shore is most productive, the dwarfed Sparse Scrub the least productive on an acre basis.
Areas of each of the five communities was determined by analyzing aerial photographs. Ninety-nine sections of land along Biscayne Bay and the insides of the offshore islands in the study areas have significant stands of mangroves, the total area of which was estimated to be 19,456 acres. The litter (leaves, twigs, wood, fruits, etc.) that can enter the detritus cycle from these mangroves is about 37,000 tons per year. The calculated production of material from the seagrasses of the same part of Biscayne Bay is 248,000 tons, almost 7 times as much as the total from mangroves.
Historical, legal and biological aspects of the bulkhead line were evaluated. It was concluded that the mean high tide line is the most appropriate location of the bulkhead line along Biscayne Bay. |
