The National Park Service relies upon the best available information in managing park resources. To that end, many parks boast long-term monitoring programs to help establish baseline data and track changes over time. For well over a decade, Biscayne National Park has utilized a network of sampling sites to monitor water quality in and around Biscayne Bay.

This CESI-funded investigation provides an unbiased assessment of past data collection in the park and offers useful guidance to garantee high-quality data acquisition in the future. Investigators also conducted time series analysis and multiple regression modeling on available data sets.
