Study on Spatiotemporal Variability of Water Quality Parameters in Florida Bay Using Remote Sensing

Florida Bay is the other important waterbody of South Florida that is a dynamic and biologically productive system, which provides unique habitats. Based on the volume of fresh water flow coming from the Everglades, the salinity of the Florida Bay is varies in different wet and dry seasons. Therefore, in this area, the flow of freshwater from the Everglades determines the conditions in Florida Bay. The regular inflow from the everglades also contain significant amounts of nutrients, which provide the required energy for aquatic organisms, and the constant variation of inflow and sediments discharged into the region make the Florida Bay and its surrounded estuaries one of the most biologically productive systems on earth.
