Description:

The purpose of this analysis was to synthesize existing TSS and turbidity data from the joint NOAA-Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) water quality assessment program for the southeast Florida Reef Tract. This statistical analysis builds on the work of Whitall et al. (2019) and includes additional field data, through August 2020, collected since that report was published.

This report presents the statistical patterns in TSS and turbidity data across the region, as well as the extent to which each variable correlates with available biological data, with the overall goal of being useful in the setting of water quality criteria for the region that are protective of coral reefs. It should be noted that these data represent ambient field conditions that are either “normal” or possibly “post-storm” conditions, and are not specifically representative of the transient effects of dredging or other construction
