ofNaturalResources MarineResearchLaboratory. | |||
Thesamplingregimewasbasedontheecological information available atthetime.Samplelocations wereselectedinrelationtothepredicted plumedirection andextent(Ref.4),andthemajormacrohabitats knowntoexist.offHutchinson Island.Stations1,2and3werelocatedin'theprojected thermalplumeareawhile4and5wereestablished as,northandsouthcontrolslocatedinthesamemacrohabitats asStation2(Ref.5).Since1972,extensive dataonthebiological communities neartheSt.LuciePlanthavebeenobtained(Ref.1,2,3,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,16).Additional physicaldatahasbeengatheredonwinds(Ref.13),currents(Ref.14)andthethermalplume(Ref.15).Thesebiological andphysicalstudiesindicatethateffectsoftheSt.Luciedischarge maybelimitedtosurfaceareasnearthepointofdischarge. | |||

Statistical comparison ofphytoplankton densityattheoffshorestationshasgenerally shownsignificantly highersurfaceandbottomphytoplankton densities atStation1.Chlorophyll "a."-concentration hasalsobeengenerally elevatedatStation1(Ref.3,pageD-22).Theincreases mayhaveresultedfromphytoplankton fromthedischarge canaland/orenhancedphytoplankton growthduetoincreased watertemperature.
