The Weedon Island Preserve is a 3,190-acre coastal system in Tampa Bay, Florida that is comprised of aquatic and upland ecosystems.

The lower two floors of the five-story building in the center of these photos have collapsed and the third floor has fallen to ground level.

Here are shown a series of photographs of a rice coral (Montipora capitata) shaded with light filters during a natural “coral bleaching” event observed during anomalously high ocean temperatures in Autumn of 2004 on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi.

Image 3B. This beach on Figure Eight Island, NC lost its dune in an earlier storm, so residents used sandbags to serve as a make-shift temporary wall to mitigate erosion from future storms.

Airborne lidar is a surveying method that measures distance to a target from a survey plane by illuminating that target with a pulsed laser light, and measuring the reflected pulses with a sensor. Differences in laser return times and wavelengths can then be used to make digital 3D-representations of the target.

Looking eastward at the Tamiami Canal. Water Conservation Area 3 is to the
left and US 41 (Tamiami Trail) is to the right.

Facing east, a panoramic view of Biscayne Bay. The mainland is seen at far
right. Biscayne Bay is an estuary, a place where freshwater and salt water
meet. Freshwater flow from the land supplies the bay with nutrients.

Beyond the mangrove key islets that make up the Ten Thousand Islands, lies
the Gulf of Mexico. The Ten Thousand Islands are comprised of hundreds of
mangrove islands that extend northward from the northwest corner of
Everglades National Park. These uninhabited islands stretch for 60-miles
