Weathering the Storm: Hurricane Resiliency in the Florida Keys
How can architects let their buildings interact with the water while protecting occupants from the potential danger? The two intents are very different and often compete with one, either protection or recreation, as the primary program in one project. Water draws people, everyone likes being near …

Assessment of Evacuation Network Performance under Different Evacuation Scenarios: The Florida Keys
… the evacuation of a coastal community, the Florida Keys. This will aid in the planning, mitigation, response, and recovery of this community when a hurricane threatens to destroy their homes. To achieve this, a model of the Florida Keys was built in VISSIM, a microscopic traffic flow …

Sponge Community Biocomplexity, Competition, and Functional Significance in Hard-Bottom Habitats of the Florida Keys, FL (USA)
… mortalities and reduced sponge diversity. In the Florida Keys (Florida, USA), for example, frequent cyanobacteria blooms have decimated coastal sponge communities. There were two objectives for this research. First, to experimentally establish the baseline effects of Florida Keys sponges, at …

Cryptic Herbivorous Invertebrates Restructure the Composition of Degraded Coral Reef Communities in the Florida Keys, Florida, USA
… changes on community composition and function. Florida’s reefs are a compelling example of a degraded system that has undergone a phase shift, and thus offered an excellent model system for my study of the effects of grazing by cryptic herbivores on community composition and their potential …

Sinking Poor Decision-Making with Best Practices: A Case Study of Artificial Reef Decision-Making in the Florida Keys
… stands and creating poor water quality. The Florida Keys rely primarily on the reef system that surrounds the archipelago for their socioeconomic health and successful future. The Florida Keys shares the symbiotic relationship of the terrestrial and marine realms with many other states and …

Do hurricanes and other severe weather events affect catch per unit effort of reef-fish in the Florida Keys?
Severe weather events frequently affect important marine fish stocks and fisheries along the United States Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts. However, the effects of these events on fish and fisheries are not well understood. The availability of self-reported data from two fisheries in a region …

Characterization of Soundscapes in Shallow Water Habitats of the Florida Keys (USA) and Their Influence on the Settlement of Larval Fish and Invertebrates
… decades, changes in climate and water quality in Florida Bay and the Florida Keys (FL, USA) caused expansive cyanobacteria blooms that in turn precipitated massive sponge die-offs that drastically altered sponge-dominated hard-bottom communities in south-central Florida Bay. This area served as a …

Impacts of the Spotted Spiny Lobster (<i>Panulirus guttatus</i>) on the Long-Spined Sea Urchin (<i>Diadema antillarum</i>) and Patch Reef Communities in the Florida Keys
… but are still below historical levels in the Florida Keys, likely due to low larval supply coupled with predation on juveniles. Lobsters are sea urchin predators in other systems and the spotted spiny lobster (<em>Panulirus guttatus </em>) is abundant on coral reefs in the Florida Keys, where …

Parametric, Non-Parametric And Statistical Modeling Of Stony Coral Reef Data
Like coral reefs worldwide, the Florida Reef Tract has dramatically declined within the past two decades. Monitoring of 40 sites throughout the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary has undertaken a multiple-parameter approach to assess spatial and temporal changes in the status of the ecosystem. …

The Role of Backreef Soundscapes and their Spatial Structure for Recruitment of Tropical Marine Larvae
… sponge-dominated hardbottom habitat in the Florida Keys (Florida, USA) – a particularly “noisy” coastal habitat. However, the distance over which acoustic cues are attractive to settlement-stage larvae - is generally unknown. I examined this phenomenon in a region of the Florida Keys where …

Prey Selection by Young Lemon Sharks (Negaprion brevirostris) at Chandeleur Island Nursery Habitats with a Comparison to Three Other Co-Occurring Shark Species
… those from nurseries in Bimini (Bahamas) and the Florida Keys. At the Chandeleur Islands, young lemon sharks appear to be opportunistically feeding on the most abundant prey items, resulting in high prey abundance and low diversity in their diet. Opportunistic feeding by young lemon sharks …

Can Waters Around Durney Key, Pasco County, Florida, Support Coral Recruitment to Artificial Substrates?
… a proposed reef site. The city of Port Richey, Florida, was considering installing an artificial reef of porcelain modules near Durney Key, a dredge spoil island just offshore. To assist in determining the feasibility of this proposal, I pursued three objectives: a) to characterize the …

Unraveling the mystery of leaf reddening in seagrasses
… Thalassia testudinum shoots in the lower Florida Keys. Results show that leaf reddening is prevalent in seagrasses, occurring in numerous species growing in shallow waters with high light intensities around the world. In addition, experiments with T. testudinum demonstrate that the …

Power, planning, and the right to the post-disaster city : exploring opportunities for long-term housing affordability and resilience in earthquake recovery
… Using cases from CLTs in Houston and the Florida Keys, I examine the opportunities and challenges of CLT post-disaster expansion. I conclude by recommending planning processes for Bay Area cities and communities to pursue in preparation for advancing the right to the post-disaster city.

Characterizing the ecology of coral reef microorganisms across different scales within the Caribbean
… reef-systems within Los Canarreos, Cuba and the Florida Keys, U.S.A and seawater microbial communities collected from each reef-system were influenced by hydrogeography and environmental gradients. Lastly, the extracellular metabolite composition of reef seawater collected across Jardines de la …
