Period of Service: July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Total Cost Per Month: $38,905.20. Reason for sample collection and analysis: As described in the SOW, this project will continue the water quality monitoring program for the north Florida reef tract with the goal of identifying and reducing both the constituents and impacts of LBSP on coral reef ecosystems. These data will be useful to coastal managers to detect change in the ecosystem and to link observed changes and spatial differences with reef health. The sampling design and anticipated outcomes will ensure it is meeting resource manager needs to more effectively manage the coral reef resources within this region and address public perception that water quality is a factor in the degradation of the regions reefs.
