should be considered. |
4) The role of salinity/habitat interactions and population data for spotted |
seatrout in Biscayne Bay needs clarification. |
5) The reason for the lack of spotted seatrout in Central and South-Central Bay |
needs to be determined, and potential bait shrimp bycatch impacts, and |
roller-frame trawl impacts to habitat, need to be elucidated to avoid |
blaming lack of freshwater as the culprit for absence of this species. |
Information Deficiencies and Needs |
Freshwater Flow and Ecological Relationships in Biscayne Bay 7-2 |
6) Means of moderating pulses of freshwater via canals need to be developed |
to better utilize the existing freshwater supplies to nourish existing, restored |
or created wetlands along the western shoreline. |
7) The most up-to-date information on Roseate spoonbill nesting and foraging |
in conjunction with other wading birds in the Turkey Point area needs |
further clarification to confirm this species can be used as an indicator in |
South-Central to Southern Biscayne Bay. |
8) The data collection efforts by the Roblee/Browder team needs to be |
extended to overlap both wet and dry years in order to have data that |
encompasses the entire range of possible seasonal salinity regimes for MFL |
establishment or modification in the future. |
9) The forage fish prey base in both the "white zone" and in the mangroves |
and brackish marshes along the western shore of the Bay needs further |
sampling in relation to salinity/habitat interactions and food web |
interactions. |
10) Additional research and/or monitoring should be performed to help |
understand the extent to which fresh water and/or warm water are |
attractants for manatees at locations of surface flow into Biscayne Bay. |
