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 .

METHODOLOGIES
Samples • - collected using • Petite Ponar grab . Three replicate • • samples will be
collected . each of the three sampleshownSamples be sieved in the field
through11 urn mesh , preserved in 10% buffered formalin with ' • - Bengal . • • - 1 as a vital
analyzedstain . The sample for sediment analysis will be placed in a plastic zip loc bag and frozen until
in the laboratoryfor 1 organic content . each • -

• dissolved • g - be measured at two • • 1 just above the • • •
In the laboratory , • be • " • . • fauna placed in vials of • • • • •

Macrofauna will be identified to the lowest practicable taxon , generally species , and counted .
ies among si ' I ] be calculated and analyzed and a report
prepared • delivered to Indian River County
Inferential data analysis will use SAS to perform the ANOVAs . I will use both SAS and
PRIMER to conduct the PCA and multi - dimensional scaling analyses and to produce the visual
cluster analyses for presentations . Simper will also be used to get the similarity indices .
QA/QC
All data sheets , spreadsheets , and computer results will be maintained for at least 5 years after
the final sampling . Field and laboratory protocols will follow DEP and EPA guidelines and
SOPS .
