Sedimentary environments in Apalachicola Bay and vicinity, Florida

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1963
Abstract The distribution patterns of the sediment and various characteristics in Apalachicola Bay and vicinity are clearly defined and greatly influenced by the submarine topography. Analysis shows a variability in the mean grain size and in the carbonate content between the basins and the shoals.

The Hydrography of Apalachicola and Florida Bays, Florida

1961
Abstract : Eight hydrographic surveys were made in each of the bays, two each season, for the year 1960. In each bay eight stations were occupied for a 25 hour period commencing 1200 of the first date to 1200 of the second. Simultaneous hourly observations were made by 2 man crews, occupying skiffs or stationed on bridges, of water temperature, current

Modelling Wind Effects on Subtidal Salinity in Apalachicola Bay, Florida

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2002
Abstract Salinity is an important factor for oyster and estuarine productivity in Apalachicola Bay. Observations of salinity at oyster reefs have indicated a high correlation between subtidal salinity variations and the surface winds along the bay axis in an approximately east–west direction.

Recent Estuarine Deposits, Chesapeake Bay and Apalachicola Bay: ABSTRACT

AAPG Bulletin, 1985
Estuarine facies are not easily discernible in the ancient record, because they represent a transition stage between fluvial and marine deposits. Modern estuarine sediments, nevertheless, are widespread because of the ongoing marine transgression.

Carbon Reservoir Effects in Eastern Oyster from Apalachicola Bay, USA

Radiocarbon, 2017
AbstractEastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is an ubiquitous estuarine shellfish taxon in eastern North America and one of the most abundant materials available for radiocarbon (14C) dating. We examine spatiotemporal variability in carbon reservoir effects among pre-bomb oysters from Apalachicola Bay, USA, a river-influenced estuary on the northern ...

Remote Sensing for Water Quality Monitoring in Apalachicola Bay, USA

2010
In this paper, we provide a review on remote sensing of water quality in coastal and estuarine ecosystems. As a case study, we further describe the use of remote sensing to estimate total suspended solids (TSS) and chlorophyll-a in an estuarine ecosystem, Apalachicola Bay, which is located along the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, USA. Based on the remote

Atmospheric deposition of nitrate and its transport to the Apalachicola Bay estuary in Florida

Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 1992
A comparison of fluxes of ten dissolved constituents of rain water and river water has been carried out for the watershed of the Apalachicola River in order to estimate the magnitude of nitrate contribution from the atmosphere to surface water that may flow to the Apalachicola Bay estuary.

Phytoplankton Spatial Variability in the River-Dominated Estuary, Apalachicola Bay, Florida

Estuaries and Coasts, 2018
In shallow estuaries with strong river influence, the short residence time and pronounced gradients generate an environment for plankton that differs substantially in its dynamics from that of the open ocean, and the question arises “How is phytoplankton biomass affected?” This study assesses the small-scale spatial and temporal distribution of ...

Sediment Deposition in Apalachicola Bay, Florida: a 200 Year Chronicle

AAPG Bulletin, 2001
ABSTRACT Apalachicola Bay, Florida is the terminus of the state's largest river system. Economically, the bay is of considerable value and provides a significant income to a large proportion of the nearby population by virtue of its fishing industry.

Survey and genetic characterization ofVibrio choleraein Apalachicola Bay, Florida (2012–2014)

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2019
A small outbreak of gastroenteritis in 2011 in Apalachicola Bay, FL was attributed to consumption of raw oysters carrying Vibrio cholerae serotype O75. To better understand possible health risks, V. cholerae was surveyed in oysters, fish and seawater, and results were compared to data for Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus.Enrichment ...
