Notes

Abstract:
National Park Service staff developed descriptive ecological targets based on biological communities in Biscayne National Park. We selected biological indicators that include those described by the interagency RECOVER team to set environmental targets affected by inflows, primarily as measures of seasonal salinity patterns in key areas of the park. Other relevant indicators of by health derived from previous and current studies in the entire Biscayne Bay area are also discussed in support of defining desired ecological conditions and the salinities needed to sustain them. The target area for the development of ecological and salinity perfomance measures in a 10,000 acre, primarily softbottom zone in the western zone of Biscayne National Park. ( English )
