Description:"The purpose of this document is to provide National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative (SEFCRI), and coral reef conservation partners with a baseline assessment of available data, as well as planning and assessment reports that are useful and necessary inthe effort to reduce loads from land-based sources of pollutants (LBSP) to the Southeast Florida coral reef ecosystem. Valuable work has been performed to date by others in reviewing and summarizing the complicated issue of LBSP in southeast Florida as it pertains to the coral reef tract and supporting habitats. Two key documents that lay a foundation for this project are the Land Based Sources of habitats. Two key documents that lay a foundation for this project are the Land Based Sources of Pollution Local Action Strategy Combined Projects 1 & 2...and a Literature Review and Synthesis of Land-Based Sources of Pollution Affecting Essential Fish Habitats in Southeast Florida...Our report provides a summary of LBSP information, including assessment and planning reports as well as data, organized by the inlet contributing areas (ICAs), or watersheds, that drain to the coral reef tract. It also identifies gaps in data, assessment and planning for LBSP reduction in the SEFCRI ICAs. The purpose for organizing the data and information according to ICA is to provide a starting point FOR watershed-based planning and to assist NOAA and SEFCRI in prioritizing LBSP reduction projects and funding that will be pursued"--Introduction.
