Abstract

The purpose of this project was to conduct a pilot project to determine the feasibility of performing a study to evaluate the ecological role of alligator holes in the Everglades system and to develop interagency support and a scope of work for future studies. The objectives for the first year were to: 1. Review existing information on the ecology of alligator holes and conduct a survey on current complimentary studies. 2. Conduct an ecological survey. including mapping and description. of existing alligator holes. 3. Establish interagency cooperation and support for an Alligator Hole Project. Based on this interagency consultation develop a consensus for priorities for future research and integration into ecosystem restoration efforts.(96 page document)
