South Florida's coastal and marine ecosystems provide critical ecosystem services to the nation, generating billions of dollars for the economy and tens of thousands of jobs annually. The well-being of over six million people in coastal counties depend on these ecosystems, which are beset by multiple stressors and global climate change.

This project addresses these multiple interacting stressors (i.e., ocean acidification, hypoxia, harmful algal blooms, increasing water temperatures, and eutrophication) and their varying concentrations across South Florida's ecosystems from the West Florida Shelf to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. It investigates how they are impacting/will impact ecosystems under present and future climate change scenarios, and different management/restoration strategies under Mission: Iconic Reefs and the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan.
