PROJECT INFORMATION Project Code Short Description Project Manager (customer) Section Field Project Manager Start Date End Date Full Description TTI Ten Thousand Islands Steve Kelly WQM sdesanti 31-JUL-1996 This collaborative program with the Everglades National Park (ENP) and Florida International University (FIU) consists of surface water quality monitoring networks in the Shark Slough estuaries, Florida, Whitewater and Biscayne Bay, the Ten Thousand Islands, and the southwest Florida Shelf. This program has two components: 1) continuous data collection from fixed stations by ENP and 2) discontinuous grab sample data collection by FIU. The ENP continuous data collection project includes three elements: 1) the marine monitoring network (MMN) 2) the C-111 and Joe Bay network; and 3) the telemetric data network. The MMN, maintains and collects continuous physical-chemical data from 28 fixed stations within the Park. As ENP expands the MMN network on the Gulf Coast will be reported. The second element consists of continuous data collection from the Joe Bay meteorological tower and four C-111 stations in Manatee Bay and Barnes Sound, which are jointly operated and maintained by the ENP and the District. The third element consists of data that are telemetered daily from 15 MMN sites and the Joe Bay tower. The discontinuous data collection or grab sample project operated by FIU consists of 149 stations, of which 100 are sampled monthly and the 49 that are located along five transects in the Gulf of Mexico are sampled quarterly. These 49 sites change slightly each trip, but are sampled along the same transect each time. Because of the slight change in location each trip, the station name changes each time. All of the sites are monitored for a variety of physical, chemical, and biological parameters to characterize water quality. Query returned 1 project record(s).
