Water management practices in south Florida, however, have resulted in changes to the physical and chemical workings of the bay. In recent years, the area has experienced a significant loss of seagrass, and scientists continue to closely investigate possible linkages. The ongoing effort to restore the Florida Everglades relies upon predictive modeling to simulate effects of proposed projects. This CESI-funded project develops a model to simulate patterns of seagrass dynamics in response to changes in Florida Bay.
