Groundwater and Surficial Water Salinity Changes in Everglades National Park using Aerial Electromagnetic Surveys 

The US Army Corps of Engineers seeks statements of interest for a project that will significantly reduce the uncertainties associated with predicted freshwater restoration of transition zone habitats in Everglades National Park. These uncertainties are associated with processes of peat collapse, saltwater intrusion, adaptive foundational resilience, and mangrove transgression. The data will have relevance at both the Project level and the Programmatic level for adaptive management and updates to modeling tools used to simulate conditions throughout the region.

Juvenile Sportfish Community and Habitat Suitability in Florida Bay for USACE Jacksonville District

The US Army Corps of Engineers seeks statements of interest for a project that will draw upon prior monitoring conducted in Florida Bay and continue a long-term study of juvenile sportfish and seagrass meadows response to the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) in Florida Bay. The purpose of this project is to monitor, as a continuance of a long-term dataset, the responses of abundance, diversity, and distribution of juvenile sportfish including spotted seatrout to spatial and temporal changes in hydrology as a result of restoration (e.g., reduced hypersaline conditions and expansion of suitable habitat via healthy seagrass beds).

American Crocodile Monitoring as an Indicator of Hydrologic Restoration in the Southern Estuaries for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District

The US Army Corps of Engineers seeks statements of interest for a project that will draw upon prior monitoring conducted in the southern estuaries of Biscayne Bay and Florida Bay and continue a long-term study of American crocodile response to Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP). The purpose of this project is to monitor, as a continuance of a long-term dataset, the responses of crocodiles to changes in hydrology as a result of restoration and CERP implementation.
