Mapping Water Quality Parameters and Thalassia Occurrence in Eastern Santa Rosa Sound

Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) Symposium, 08/2025, University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida
The Florida Sea Grant partnered with UWF and volunteers to perform their annual seagrass survey of the Pensacola Bay system, including western Santa Rosa Sound (Caffrey, 2024). Their findings indicated that Choctawhatchee Bay does not have Thalassia testudinum, commonly known as Turtle Grass, present. T. testudinum is a vital nursery habitat for Argopecten irradians, the Bay Scallop. A. irradians has faced population declines that began sometime around the 1960s. Identifying the growth limiting parameters of T. testudinum in Choctawhatchee Bay can be useful for restoration efforts of A. irradians population.

Analyzing and visualizing porewater nutrient concentration data
Date presented 2021
Student Scholar Symposium & Faculty Research Showcase, 2021, University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida
This project has two goals: to produce porewater concentration data for a shore-normal transect at the site of other similar ongoing studies and to explore potential three-dimensional
artistic visualizations of this data.
This porewater nutrient data is determined in a lab using standard nutrient spectroscopy alongside concentration standards and its distribution is mapped In SlgmaPlot. Meanwhile, rough sketches and digital illustrations are made of a possible sculpture that would represent the collected nutrient data in a novel fashion.
