Benthic macroinvertebrate and mollusc study design for Peace River regional water supply facility hydrobiological monitoring program: Phase I report: scientific plan of study to investigate potential long-term monitoring options for the Peace River.(1998).  1 vol.  Sarasota, FL: Mote Marine Laboratory.
(The report describes a program of sampling and measurement in the tidal Peace River, Florida, for the purpose of identifying those attributes of benthic macroinvertebrate species and communities most likely to change, in detectable and statistically significant ways, if decreased river flows or increased freshwater diversions change the tidal environment, primarily with respect to salinity and dissolved oxygen.)

(The purpose of the base programs analysis is to recognize the current public and private environmental regulatory programs, provide an assessment of the overall programs that are in place, and identify the gaps in the existing institutional framework for resource management.  Provides a snapshot of the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program's socioeconomic conditions.  It reviews the current institutional management of the natural resources in the greater Charlotte Harbor watershed.  This analysis is performed within an outline of the three major priority problems: hydrologic alterations; water quality degradation; and fish and wildlife habitat loss.)

(This report describes monitoring programs for the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program study area.(including the Myakka River).The objectives of this report are to: 1) identify and describe all existing land, air, terrestrial and aquatic wildlife and vegetation, and water monitoring programs that pertain to the study area; 2) provide a summary of those programs both temporally and geographically; 3) help identify areas where monitoring is lacking or where protocols are inconsistent; and 4) assist existing programs in coordinating their efforts and increase understanding of programs across organizations.)
