Scientific assessments of water quality and biogeochemistry since 1995.

To Aristotle, entelechy was the actualization of potential, the vital force that directed an organism toward self-development. More recently, it is considered the principle which guides development and function of systems. We use that thinking to investigate, explore, and explain the workings of marine and freshwater ecosystems.

Examples of work performed include 29 continuous years of annual reports of water quality status and trends in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, analyses of coral reef WQ for FDEP, a summary of coral reef WQ benchmarks, assessments of hydrologic minimum flows and levels for several estuaries, and assessments of Everglades remediation efforts in the Caloosahatchee watershed.
