Excerpt from Water Resources Management Plan: Canaveral National Seashore, Florida, December 2001Canaveral National Seashore (cana) consists of approximately acres within the Mosquito Lagoon watershed. This National Park unit represents an excellent example of a relatively stable barrier beach backed by a productive lagoon system. Mosquito Lagoon is the northernmost part of the Indian River Lagoon (irl) system, which contains the highest species diversity of any estuary in North America (see references in 1995 special issue of Bulletin of Marine Science, Vol. 57) and provides critical habitat for 14 federally listed threatened and endangered species, including green sea turtles, loggerhead turtles, and West Indian manatees. The far-reaching, ecological importance of this area has been demonstrated by the epa in listing it as an Estuary of National Significance and by the state of Florida in classifying it as a Florida Outstanding Waterway and Aquatic Preserve, the highest level of state protection. Under this designation, ambient water quality must be maintained and protected, and any degradation must be short-term or temporary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
