Tampa Bay
Land Use Maps and Change Analysis
Type: Condition of habitat and sources affecting
habitat (i.e., the condition or functionality of the habitat) and stressors
affecting habitat (i.e., which sources have contributed to its degradation
and whether they are direct or indirect factors).
Category: Submerged
Cost: $ 30,000 for each baywide loading estimate
Description: Estimates of non-point sources TN, TP, and TSS
loadings are made (in ungaged basins) using land-use specific runoff coefficients.
For this study, local planners would be asked to indicate on existing land
use maps where future changes in land-use are expected to occur, and runoff
coefficients for future non-point source estimates on the planners' responses.
Outcome: This study should produce information on important
elements of the past, existing, and future nutrient and TSS loading rates.
