Figure 3.21: TOC Zcusum charts for water quality segments in Biscayne Bay |
Chlorophyll a |
Chlorophyll a followed a similar pattern in all segments, except at MBS and CS. |
As for TP, hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma triggered unprecedented CHLa blooms in |
MBS and CS, which distorts the time-series pattern. As shown above, when posthurricane data is discarded, all segments display a common pattern (Fig 3.22). This |
pattern is characterized by a below-average tendency until 1999 when Hurricane Irene |
impacted South Florida. Irene produced heavy rainfall across southeastern Florida, |
peaking at 17.45 inches at Boynton Beach and 10-15 inches in Miami Metropolitan |
area. Most heavy rain from Irene was concentrated over Biscayne Bay watershed (Fig |
3.23), which coupled with large water releases from canals to avoid flooding of Miami, |
contributed to the development of a large algal bloom in the Bay. After ten months |
(early-mid 2000) CHLa concentrations had returned to mostly below average levels in |
SCI, SCM, SCO, SNB and NNB (similar Zcusum slope as before impact). After mid2003 an above average trend set in lasting until 2007, when a new decline began. On |
the other hand, and underscoring the combined natural and anthropogenic impacts, the |
2005 bloom persisted for four years in MBS. |
