Brief description of project and relevance to this contract (Include scope, size, and cost) <br /> <br />In 2000, Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management (County) initiated <br />the Lake Worth Lagoon (LWL) Fixed Transect Seagrass Monitoring Project. Annual monitoring along <br />fixed transects throughout the LWL has been conducted every year except 2006, with the objective of <br />determining whether the monitored seagrass beds are stable, expanding, or receding over time. <br />Fluctuations in seagrass cover have been documented, with major decreases associated with periodic <br />large-scale freshwater releases into the LWL. The 2013 through 2018 annual fixed transect surveys <br />have documented continued seagrass habitat loss from the central and south segments of the lagoon. <br /> <br />Cummins Cederberg conducted the 2020 biannual surveys for the County. A series of permanent <br />stations were monitored along ten fixed transects for seagrass presence and cover, as well as line- <br />intercept for seagrass bed extent. Water quality parameters were also collected using a YSI meter at <br />each site to measure salinity, temperature, Dissolved Oxygen and pH. Data will be compared against <br />the previous year’s results to examine trends in seagrass distribution and cover during the assessed <br />timeframe, and evaluated in conjunction with collected water quality data, and data from local water <br />quality monitoring programs. <br /> <br />Active contract: Yes <br />Fees to date: $59,265 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />25.
