Research funding for this project was provided by the US Army Corps of
Engineers-CERP Monitoring and Assessment Program, United States Geological Survey
(USGS) Work Order #19 and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) Work Order #3 in accordance with the Monitoring and Assessment Plan (MAP)
which was launched in 2005 to assess the success of the Comprehensive Everglades
Restoration Plan (CERP) by monitoring changes in benthic populations as well as water
quality in coastal seagrass communities. These activities were consolidated as the South
Florida Fish and Invertebrate Assessment Network project (FIAN). The FIAN project
provided all habitat and environmental data for this project. Laboratory space was
provided by Nova Southeastern University (NSU) Halmos College of Natural Sciences
and Oceanography in Dania Beach, Florida Special thanks are due to Dr. Richard Dodge
for his support at NSU.
I thank Dr. Bernhard Riegl for assisting me with the initial logistics of this project
data and his support throughout the process as my thesis committee major advisor. I
thank my committee member Dr. Venetia S. Briggs-Gonzalez for all the guidance and
assistance with the statistical analysis of my project data. She also helped with
interpreting and editing the results of the thesis. I also thank Dr. Michael B. Robblee, the
principal investigator for the USGS MAP project, for allowing me to work with the
collection data and helping with the logistics of my project. I also thank Dr. Kristen Hart,
USGS Research Ecologist, for everything she has done to assist me with my project.
Special thanks to Andre Daniels and the staff of the NSU USGS Seagrass Lab, who have
been vital to the success of fieldwork, processing samples in the laboratory and data
processing. Finally, to my friends and family, thank you for all the support and guidance
