HOWARD T. ODUM FLORIDA SPRINGs INSTITUTE

PLANS & REPORTS

One of the goals of the Florida Springs Institute is to develop a quantitative and scientifically defensible baseline of ecological data that documents the existing environmental conditions and trends over time of springs and to share that information with the public. Explore this page to find reports created by the Florida Springs Institute including the Florida Springs Conservation Plan, restoration plans, SpringsWatch reports, and reports for our Santa Fe River and Ocklawaha monitoring projects.
