Abstract:

This report describes the progress during the first quarter of the FY-2008-2009 cooperative program between the FWC-FWRI and Mote that is designed to focus on specific red tide research areas that are of critical concern to the state of Florida. The project components were developed around a series of three organizational goals. Goal 1: Determine the role of natural and human-derived factors contributing to initiation, maintenance and termination of red tide blooms. Goal 2: Provide supplemental studies in support of collaborative programs. Goal 3: Implement communication and outreach programs for stakeholders.
