bathymetry data, and mortality information, and seagrass beds
for both the Caloosahatchee River and Mullock Creek area.)

of Florida manatees associated with a dinoflagellate bloom. Marine Mammal

illnesses which coincided
with fish and double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus
) mortality and morbidity probably due to bloom Gymnodinium breve.)

(The
study examined the abundance and distribution of manatees in
the Caloosahatchee River system in the winters prior to and
during a temporary cessation of the heated effluent from the
FP & E plant at Fort Myers. When heated effluends ceased,
the manatees gathered in an area of deep water that cooled more
slowly.)
