Bắc Florida là một trong những lĩnh vực cuối cùng ở Hoa Kỳ nơi mà mức độ dân số thấp, cùng với sự phát triển công nghiệp tương đối ít, đã góp phần vào một số ít nhất là ô nhiễm các khu vực thủy sản trên thế giới. Điều này bao gồm các hồ, suối, sông, và các khu vực ven biển vẫn còn nguyên sơ trong mọi ý nghĩa của từ. Hồ Xuân ăn độc đáo về mối quan hệ với các tổ chức địa chất đá vôi của cảnh quan thủy sản. Springs rất nhiều trong khu. | section II North Florida as a Microcosm of the Restoration Paradigm North Florida is one of the last areas in the United States where low population levels together with relatively little industrial development have contributed to some of the least polluted aquatic areas in the world. This includes lakes springs rivers and coastal areas that remain pristine in every sense of the word. Spring-fed lakes are unique in terms of the relationship with the karst geological organization of the aquatic landscapes. Springs abound in this region and are primary sources of clean fresh water to the many rivers that eventually drain into an untouched series of estuaries in the Gulf of Mexico. Because of the relatively low levels of population and pollution the impacts of a growing human population are more easily determined. Long-term research in these areas has thus led to various conclusions regarding the impacts of urbanization agricultural development and industrial wastes on aquatic resources of the region. 2006 by Taylor Francis Group LLC chapter 2 Cultural Eutrophication of North Florida Lakes Most lakes rivers and coastal areas do not get the publicity or the scientific attention that characterizes the better-known systems. Likewise the cumulative impacts of complex combinations of human activities are rarely determined with adequate scientific information. Without such data there is little chance that anything approaching full restoration can be achieved. This factor the scientific approach to restoration has not been lost on development interests and their counterparts in the news media. The complicated interplay of scientific research economic political interests and the role of the news media in environmental matters remains undermined despite the fact that these forces direct the fate of most aquatic systems in the United States. Over the past 16 years we have conducted a series of studies concerning the impact of urban storm water on lakes in north Florida Figure .
