Pierce , FL 34946 772 462 - 0874 cproffit@fau . edu INTRODUCTION This proposal is to collect , sort , and identify benthic samples at the three Spoonbill marsh sites for which the approximate locations are shown in Fig . 1 . These samples will supplement the data gathered by our previous sampling in the Spring 2009 . The report prepared will provide comparisons with the earlier samples at these same three Spoonbill sites , and at the Spoonbill reference sites sampled in the Spring . The report will document and analyze diversity, and will characterize the benthic community and discuss abundances of the dominant species .
