Operation and integration of a commercially available nitrate sensor in Gulf of Mexico estuarine monitoring programs
Abstract Many coastal and estuarine environments suffering from eutrophication, hypoxia, and harmful algal blooms need continuous nutrient monitoring to better understand the drivers of these events and evaluate progress towards water quality improvement targets. Many dissolved-nutrient sensors are…

Abstract Phytoplankton composition and biomass were investigated in the C-43 Canal in southwest Florida during a period of shifting discharges from water control structures. The canal receives regulated discharges from…
Read MoreDownstream nutrient concentrations depend on watershed inputs more than reservoir releases in a highly engineered watershed
In this study, we characterized the impact of regulatory water releases relative to watershed inputs on the quality of receiving waters to identify if and how managed releases could be…

Seagrass communities are vitally important ecosystems that support and foster organisms across trophic levels. Understanding the drivers of seagrass distribution and extent in estuary systems is valuable for conservation and…
