Notes

Summary:
The water quality of the FKNMS is put in perspective with data from 150 stations sampled in SW Florida Shelf, Florida Bay, Whitewater Bay, Ten Thousand Islands, and Biscayne Bay. It becomes clear from this analysis that the ambient water quality in the Lower Keys and Marquesas is most strongly influenced by water quality of the SW Florida Shelf, the Middle Keys by SW Florida Shelf and Florida Bay transport, the Backcountry by internal nutrient sources, and the Upper Keys from Florida Current intrusion.
