University of South Florida Hydrologists Help Out Tampa Bay Aquatic Preserves

Tampa Bay Aquatic Preserve staff worked with University of South Florida hydrologists to set up water quality monitoring instruments on a piling in Bishop Harbor (Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve). This datasonde station will provide ongoing water quality for one of the least-developed areas of Tampa Bay.  Such data can be valuable when compared with similar data from other, more urbanized, locations in the same watershed.
