Section 1.0 Introduction

The Santa Fe River is classified as an Outstanding Florida Water and is home to over 30 recorded springs. The river and springs provide essential habitat for a diversity of flora and fauna and are major contributors to the economic vitality of surrounding areas (FSI 2012; SRWMD 2014)). However, the Santa Fe River and springs are experiencing negative impacts from a variety of human caused stressors including reduced discharge, increased nitrate-nitrogen levels, excessive recreation, harmful aquatic plant management activities, and structural alterations. These changes are resulting in a shifting ecological baseline for the Santa Fe River.

The Howard T. Odum Florida Springs Institute (FSI) is conducting a Santa Fe River and Springs Environmental Analysis. The project consists of 3 phases; Phase 1 - a summary of existing data (completed in May 2017 [FSI 2017]), Phase 2 - a detailed two-year river health evaluation intended to fill data gaps (Table 1), and Phase 3 - the development of a comprehensive management and recovery strategy. We have partnered with Our Santa Fe River, Inc. (OSFR) and other collaborators (Table 2) to complete this project. This report is a Phase 2 interim deliverable for all eight quarters of sampling.

FSI began data collection at Santa Fe River springs, spring runs, and river stations (Figure 1) for Phase 2 in April 2018. The goal of this phase is to fill existing data gaps by conducting a comprehensive, two-year monitoring program to improve understanding of the physical, chemical, biological, and ecological condition of the springs and river. These data will be used in conjunction with other existing research to create an updated baseline of ecological conditions for the Santa Fe River and springs that can be used to assess ongoing changes in spring and river health and to serve as a basis for developing a recovery and management strategy.

Results from the first seven quarters of sampling (April 2018 through December 2019) were summarized previously (FSI 2019). This report summarizes results from the full two years of intensive sampling (April 2018 through March 2020).

Section 2.0 Methods Data were collected over a 2-year period along the Santa Fe River as well as from several of its springs, and three of its major tributaries: the Ichetucknee River, Olustee Creek, and Cow Creek. For this assessment, monitoring was divided into five study segments, with one segment within the Upper Santa Fe River from SR 121 bridge at Worthington Springs downstream to O’Leno State Park, three segments within the Lower Santa Fe River below River Rise, and two tributary segments (Olustee Creek and Ichetucknee River):

• Upper Santa Fe River o Segment 1 (Worthington Spring at SR 121 to the Santa Fe River Sink in O’Leno State

Park) • Lower Santa Fe River

o Segment 2 (Santa Fe River Rise to US Hwy 27) o Segment 3 (US Hwy 27 to State Road 47) o Segment 4 (State Road 47 to Suwannee River confluence)

• Olustee Creek (CR 18 bridge to Santa Fe River confluence) • Ichetucknee River (Head Spring to Santa Fe River confluence)

Routine monitoring of water quality field parameters, nitrate nitrogen and color, and physical conditions was conducted in each segment during Quarters 1-8 (April 2018 through May 2020). Table 3 provides sampling frequencies (M = monthly, Q = quarterly) for spring, spring run, and river stations. Detailed maps identifying monitoring station locations for each segment are provided in Figure 2 through Figure 4. A total of 62 monitoring stations were selected to characterize water quality and related ecological conditions. Additional ecological and biological data were collected at three spring and river sites during quarters 5 through 8. The ecological and biological surveys include recording data sonde and HOBO (temperature and light pendant) deployments, fish counts, vegetation surveys, and flow measurements. These representative sites included:

• Poe Springs • Gilchrist Blue/Naked Springs • Ichetucknee River/Blue Hole Spring

Water quality samples were collected for analysis by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) analytical laboratory for color, chloride, sulfate, arsenic, copper, iron, chlorophyll a, nitrate+nitrite nitrogen, total ammonia, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, total phosphorus, and fecal coliforms at 10 river and 20 spring sites on a quarterly basis, with 10 sites sampled each month. Priority herbicides and insecticides were tested at 10 spring or river stations quarterly. During routine monitoring, water samples were also collected for analysis by McGlynn Laboratories Inc. for nitrate nitrogen and color.

2.1 Physical Environment 2.1.1 Underwater Light Transmission Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), underwater light transmission, and attenuation coefficients were measured monthly at 57 of the 61 monitoring sites during comprehensive ecological assessments and while collecting monthly samples for laboratory analysis. Data were collected using a LI-COR brand LI-192 underwater quantum sensor to measure PAR energy reaching the water surface and at 1-foot intervals from the surface to the bottom of the water column. Figure 5 provides a typical light senor installation. Light extinction (attenuation) coefficients were calculated from these data using the Lambert-Beer equation (Wetzel 2001):

Iz = Io(e-kz)

Where:

Iz = PAR at depth z

Io = PAR at the water surface

k = diffuse attenuation coefficient, m-1

z = water depth, m

2.1.2 Secchi Disk Visibility Visual water clarity was assessed using vertical or horizontal Secchi disk visibility, the distance where a standard white and black Secchi disk disappears. At tannic river and creek stations, the Secchi depth was estimated by vertically lowering the Secchi disk below the water surface. In spring systems, underwater visibility is commonly greater than the depth of the water column, in those cases Secchi disk visibility was measured horizontally. Vertical and horizontal Secchi distance was measured with a 20-centimeter diameter black and white disk attached to the end of a tape measure below the surface of the water. For horizontal readings, a skin diver extended the tape while moving away from the disk and recorded the distance at which it was no longer visible. Secchi disk measurements were taken at 38 stations during monthly monitoring sessions and during comprehensive ecological sampling.

2.1.3 Water Quality Field parameters (water temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, oxygen percent saturation, pH, and specific conductance) were measured monthly using a YSI proDSS meter at each of the 62 (28 river and 33 springs) monitoring sites, during comprehensive ecological assessments, and while collecting monthly samples for laboratory analysis.

During routine monitoring, water samples were collected at 60 of the 62 sample sites and sent to McGlynn Laboratories Inc. for nitrate nitrogen and color analysis. Samples were collected by placing a capped sample bottle below the surface water, uncapping to collect water, and recapping underwater. Samples have a 28-day holding time and are sent to the lab bi-weekly.

Water samples for laboratory analysis were also collected according to Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) standard operating procedures. Thirty sites (10 river and 20 springs) were sampled four times throughout the year. Samples were shipped overnight to the FDEP Central Laboratory in Tallahassee where they were analyzed for color, chloride, sulfate, arsenic, copper, iron, chlorophyll a, NOx-N, NH4-N, TKN, total phosphorus, and fecal coliforms. Ten spring and river sites were also sampled once per quarter for additional priority herbicides, insecticides, and trace organic compounds.

2.1.4 Stream Discharge Stream discharge was measured at 14 locations, including 11 springs, at Ichetucknee below the Blue Hole confluence, at the mouth of the Ichetucknee River (LIR-15) and at Olustee Creek using a Hach FH950 portable velocity meter. At each location, a fiberglass tape was stretched across the stream channel perpendicular to the flow direction, allowing depth and velocity to be measured in up to 25 evenly spaced segments. Narrower streams were measured at 10-22 segments. At water depths less than 2.5 ft, velocity was measured at 0.6 of the water column depth. For water depths greater than 2.5 ft, velocity was measured at 0.2, 0.6, and 0.8 fractional depths of the water column.

2.2 Biology 2.2.1 Fish Visual surveys of the fish communities were conducted during ecological assessments at the Ichetucknee Headspring and run, as well as, Blue Hole, Gilchrist Blue, Naked, and Poe springs systems. Visual surveys of fish communities were made by 2 to 3 people using mask and snorkel gear. Observers spread out to evenly span the spring run segment and swam in parallel paths, noting the fish species or groups of similar species (lowest possible taxonomic level) of all observed fish. All observations were reported to a data recorder, who was at a fixed location on shore or who followed the observers in a boat. Following each survey, observers estimated the total length (average and range) by fish species. Fish density was calculated for each sub-section by dividing the number of individual fish counted by the area sampled. Wet-weight biomass of fish species was estimated using published length-weight relationships (Schneider et al. 2000) and average species total lengths and total numbers. Fish assemblage diversity was calculated using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index based on the calculated densities of individual species or groups (Zar 1984).

2.2.2 Snails Populations of Elimia sp. snails were surveyed during quarters 5-8 at Gilchrist Blue, Ichetucknee, and Poe Spring systems. A 0.32 m2 PVC quadrat was used to delineate sample locations along transects at several sites within spring runs. Underwater photographs were taken at 25%, 50%, and 75% of the transects total distance across the spring run. Field photos were uploaded and saved by date and in site-specific folders to quantitatively estimate the snails present in each quadrat to provide average counts and population densities (#/m2) of snails within each system.

2.2.3 Plant Community Characterization The distribution and percent cover of aquatic plant communities (macroalgae and submerged aquatic vegetation), as well as substrates in each study segment were visually estimated quarterly in 3 spring systems: Gilchrist Blue Springs, Poe Spring, and the Ichetucknee River. Aquatic vegetative cover was documented along several transects in each spring run using the line-intercept method. A tape measure was stretched along each transect, and all aquatic plant communities intercepting the vertical plane of the line were recorded. Line-intercept data were used to estimate percent cover, frequency, relative cover, and relative frequency. Frequency was based on dividing each transect into 8 equal sized sub-transects. Values by species were summed and averaged to yield an importance value as follows:

Linear Cover Distance for Species A =∑ (m)A Speciesfor distancesintercept line

2.2.4 Human Use Human use is a physical factor that has potential to impact springs. Foot traffic in the spring and its run and bank erosion are two common ways that humans can have a negative influence the health of a spring. Many springs with shallow runs experience plant disturbance when visitors have access for wading. Human use was recorded at the Gilchrist Blue, Ichetucknee, and Poe springs systems. During ecological monitoring, human use was monitored at one location for the duration of ecological sampling on a weekday and compared to observations from a weekend day. Observers recorded the number of individuals participating in in-water and out-of-water activities in 15-minute intervals. In-water categories include wading, bathing, swimming, snorkeling, tubing, canoeing/kayaking, fishing, and “other” and out-of-water categories include sitting, walking, sunbathing, nature study, dive prep and “other”. Figure 6 through Figure 8 show the study area for all springs for human use observations.

2.3 Ecosystem Level Monitoring 2.3.1 Ecosystem Metabolism Ecosystem metabolism was calculated in each spring segment using an Excel spreadsheet adaptation of the upstream/downstream dissolved oxygen (DO) change methods of H.T. Odum (1957a, 1957b). This method estimates and subtracts upstream from downstream DO mass fluxes corrected for atmospheric diffusion to determine the metabolic oxygen rate-of-change of the aquatic ecosystem. Dissolved oxygen mass inputs typically include spring discharges, atmospheric diffusion into or out of the water column (input when DO is less than 100% saturation and diffusion out when DO is above 100% saturation), accretion from tributary streams or spring seep inflows, and the release of DO as a by-product of aquatic plant photosynthesis. Oxygen losses include diffusion from the water column to the atmosphere (under super-saturated conditions), the metabolic respiration of the aquatic microbial, plant, and animal communities, and sediment biological oxygen demand.

The upstream to downstream change in DO mass flux measured at any time is the net effect of these gains and losses as shown in the following conceptual equation:

Δ DO = GPP – CR + Din + A Where:

Δ DO = DO rate-of-change, g O2/m2/d GPP = gross primary productivity, g O2/m2/d CR = community respiration, g O2/m2/d Din = diffusion into the water under unsaturated conditions, g O2/m2/d A = accrual of DO from other spring boils, g O2/m2/d

The DO measurements used to estimate segment ecosystem metabolism were collected at the downstream end of the spring run study segments at 30-minute intervals using recording YSI 6600 V2 data sondes with optical DO sensors. Instantaneous grab sampler data was used to estimate the upstream DO values.

Upstream and downstream dissolved oxygen data were each shifted by one-half of the estimated travel time between the upstream and downstream stream segment stations and an oxygen rate-of-change curve was prepared. Areas, volumes, current velocities, and diffusion measurements were used to estimate ecosystem metabolism. Water surface area was estimated for the study segment using best available data and corrected hourly using an estimated stage:area relationship. Average velocities were estimated from the stage:volume relationship and spring discharge measurements. Nominal travel times for the water mass were estimated based on the length of the spring run and the estimated hourly current velocities.

The resulting DO rate-of-change curve was corrected for atmospheric diffusion based on measured percent oxygen saturation in the water, and oxygen diffusion rates derived from the empirical relationship between velocity and diffusion measured using the floating dome method (Copeland and Duffer 1964). The corrected oxygen rate-of-change curve for each 24-hour period was used to estimate gross primary productivity (GPP), community respiration (CR), net primary productivity (NPP), production/respiration (P/R) ratio, and ecological efficiency. Figure 9 illustrates these metabolism measurements based on a typical oxygen rate-of-change curve.

Descriptions of the ecosystem metabolism parameters follow below:

• Gross primary productivity (GPP) is estimated as the entire area under the oxygen rate-of-change curve, calculated by extending the nighttime corrected oxygen rate-of-change through the daylight hours and estimating the entire area under the daytime curve in g O2/m2/d. GPP is a measure of all aquatic plant productivity occurring below the water surface within the stream segment. GPP includes primary productivity of both algae (including photosynthetic bacteria) and submerged vascular plants.

• Community respiration (CR) is the average of the corrected nighttime oxygen rate-of-change values in g O2/m2/d. CR is a measure of the total dark metabolism of the entire submerged ecosystem within each stream segment. CR includes the respiration of all microbes in the sediments and water column, respiration of bacteria, algae, and plants in the water column, and respiration of all aquatic animals, including protozoans, macroinvertebrates, crustaceans, and fish. Respiration of turtles, alligators, frogs, snakes, manatees, and other air-breathing aquatic fauna is not included in this estimate.

• Net primary productivity (NPP) is equal to the difference between these two estimates (GPP-CR). NPP

provides an estimate of the net fixed carbon that remains each day after the respiratory needs of the aquatic ecosystem are met. CR may be higher than GPP in some streams and during some periods of time, indicating that there are unmeasured inputs of fixed carbon or losses of fixed carbon that were previously stored in the ecosystem.

• The P/R ratio or ecological quotient is equal to GPP/CR. A P/R ratio of one indicates that production and consumption are equally balanced. A ratio greater than one indicates an autotrophic aquatic ecosystem while a value less than one indicates a heterotrophic ecosystem.

• Photosynthetic efficiency (PE) is equal to the rate of gross primary productivity divided by the incident PAR during a specified time interval. It estimates the overall efficiency of an aquatic ecosystem to utilize the visible fraction of incident solar radiation, the principal forcing function for autotrophic stream ecosystems. PAR reaching the plant level is estimated using PAR sensors just above the water surface to estimate canopy shading, and based on river stage, the plant community characterization data for segment depth, and the light attenuation coefficient estimated for each sampling event. PE is reported as PAR Efficiency by dividing GPP in O2/m2/d by PAR in moles of photons/m2/d, resulting in units of g O2/mole. PAR Efficiency is also reported as a percentage using the conversion factors employed by Knight (1980; 1983): 4.22 Kcal/g O2 and 52.27 Kcal/mole of photons (McCree 1972).

Section 3.0 Results This section summarizes data collected as part of the ecosystem monitoring conducted along the Santa Fe River and springs from Quarters 1 through 8 (April 2018 through May 2020). These data provide a quantitative record of existing conditions in the river and are useful for comparison to historic and future environmental data from the Santa Fe River and springs. Parameter figures are represented by a box and whisker plot. River stations are indicated with a green diamond and spring/spring run stations with a blue diamond

3.1 Physical Environment 3.1.1 Underwater Light Transmission The summaries of PAR percent transmittance and diffuse attenuation data collected on the Santa Fe and Ichetucknee river are presented in Figure 10 and Figure 11. PAR diffuse attenuation is consistently highest in the tannic waters of the Upper Santa Fe, and lowest in the springs. Light transmittance is consistently higher at the spring and spring run stations (20-77%) with river stations ranging from 1-10% in segments 1 and 2, to 12-23% in segment 3 and 17-23% in segment 4. PAR attenuation in the Ichetucknee River (dominated by spring flow) is on average less than 0.8 and transmittance is typically greater than 53%, like the Santa Fe River springs.

3.1.2 Water Clarity Figure 12 and Figure 13 present the average horizontal and vertical Secchi disc readings at sites on the Santa Fe and the Ichetucknee Rivers. Spring stations typically had horizontal Secchi readings greater than 8.8 m except for the vertical Secchi readings in Segment 2 where Santa Fe Spring averaged 3.45 m. Santa Fe River stations had Secchi readings that were typically below 2.5 m. Horizontal Secchi readings were typically between 8.8 and 55 m. Of the springs studied, Gilchrist Blue Spring had the highest measured water clarity with an average horizontal visibility of 54.9 m. Gilchrist Blue Secchi readings maxed out on two occasions (April 2018 and March 2020) meaning that the observer was past the end of the dock in the head spring and could still see the disc. Every measurement at the Ichetucknee Head Spring maxed out, due to its small size and exceptional clarity. Little Devil and Ginnie Springs also had good clarity averaging 48 m.

3.1.3 Water Quality Figure 14 shows the water quality results for samples collected by FSI staff on four segments of the Santa Fe River and associated springs, and the Ichetucknee River and associated springs. Compared to the adjacent river stations, spring stations have lower dissolved oxygen concentrations and higher specific conductance. Measured pH and water temperature showed similar trends at river and spring stations during this two-year monitoring period with river values experiencing more fluctuations. The pH values of springs and rivers show similar fluctuations, with river stations exhibiting larger changes in through the seasons. During quarters 4-7, river stations were becoming more basic, possibly due to a decrease in rainfall even during summer months which are supposed to be the rainy season. River temperatures exhibited a seasonal trend with peaks in quarters 2 and 6 (July-Sept 2018 and 2019) and a decline during January-March 2019. Spring temperatures showed slight seasonal variations but overall hovered close to 22°C. The nitrate-nitrogen graph displays parallel trends in springs and rivers, however, the springs consistently had higher values, suggesting groundwater pollution as opposed to runoff. Both the spring and river stations exceed the FDEP springs standard of 0.35mg/L.

3.1.3.1 Dissolved Oxygen Figure 15 presents boxplots to display the fluctuation of dissolved oxygen (mg/L) measured along four segments of the Santa Fe River as well as the Ichetucknee River between 1 April 2018 and 31 December 2019. During this sampling period, the Santa Fe River dissolved oxygen concentrations were typically 3.2 mg/L or higher while spring stations had variable DO values ranging from very low (0.16 mg/L at Hornsby Spring) to over 4.6 mg/L at the Gilchrist Blue Springs Group. The Ichetucknee Head Spring as well as Cedar Head Spring run and Blue Hole Spring feeding the Ichetucknee River have lower DO concentrations (<4.4 mg/L) while the river from ICH Below Blue Hole to LIR-15 are between 3.6 and 6.2 mg/L. The DO concentrations in the main channel of the Ichetucknee River rise from about 4.35 mg/L at the upstream canoe launch to over 6.65 mg/L near the tube takeout location.

3.1.3.2 pH Figure 16 presents boxplots to display the fluctuation of pH measured along four segments of the Santa Fe River and the Ichetucknee River between 1 April 2018 and 31 December 2019. pH values in segments one and two had values below 7.19 s.u. Hornsby Spring (segment 2) usually has a higher pH but had a period of record average closer to the other segment stations at 7.21 s.u. All river and spring stations downstream from US-27 had values between 7 and 8 s.u with little variation between spring and river stations.

3.1.3.3 Specific Conductance Figure 17 presents boxplots to display the fluctuation of specific conductance measured along four segments of the Santa Fe River and the Ichetucknee River between 1 April 2018 and 31 December 2019. Spring stations typically had a higher specific conductance value compared to the river stations and did not vary as much. Specific conductance is a useful parameter when determining how much groundwater is entering the river from springs. Changes in conductivity measurements may be related to the mixing of groundwater with surface water, and dilution by rain or other surface water inputs. River stations varied more, due to rain occurrences, dry periods, and runoff. During periods of high rainfall, the specific conductance is generally lower, but in times of little rainfall, the river is mainly spring fed, thus increasing the specific conductance. Santa Fe Spring in segment 1 had an average of 304 umhos/cm, while most other springs in other segments had higher specific conductance values between 348 and 437 umhos/cm. Lower specific conductance values in springs are likely associated with periodic flow reversals and subsequent discharge of groundwater with a significant surface water component. Troop Spring had an unusually high average specific conductance of 976 umhos/cm as well as neighboring springs such as Betty Spring, and Trail Spring (460-470 umhos/cm). These three springs are located 1-2 miles North of Alliance Branford Dairy (American Dairy), and have high concentrations of NOx-N, indicating the influence of livestock wastewater input into the groundwater coming out of these springs.

3.1.3.4 Water Temperature Figure 18 presents boxplots to display the fluctuation of water temperature (°C) measurements along four segments of the Santa Fe River and along the Ichetucknee River collected between 1 April and 31 December 2019. River stations show more variability whereas springs have a consistent average of 21.1-22.8°C. The depth of the river changes greatly throughout the year, allowing surface waters to warm when levels are lower, but increased rainfall and winter months cool the water, producing the wider range on the boxplots.

3.1.3.5 Nitrate-nitrogen

Figure 19 presents the average nitrate-and-nitrite (NOx-N) levels measured at 47 locations along the Santa Fe River and 10 locations along the Ichetucknee. Segments 1 and 2 (SFR at Worthington Spring to SFR at US-27) exhibited values that were typically lower than the springs numeric nutrient standard of 0.35 mg/L, with the exception of the springs stations in those segments, which ranged from 0.36 to 0.67 mg/L. NOx-N concentrations were generally highest in the spring boils, with the Gilchrist Blue Spring Group having values typically above 2 mg/L, Ginnie Spring system ranging from 1.51 to 1.95 mg/L and Betty/Troop/Trail springs with very high concentrations ranging from 4.5 mg/L to more than 47 mg/L. Elevated NOx-N concentrations at Betty, Troop, and Trail springs are attributed to their proximity to Alliance Branford Dairy located only 1-2 miles to the south. The numeric nutrient limit for nitrate of 0.35 mg/L set by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection is represented by a grey dotted line on the graph.

3.1.3.6 Analytical Parameters

Quarterly samples were collected and analyzed for 71 priority herbicides, pesticides, and trace organic compounds during seven sampling events throughout the two-year study. Table 4 includes the priority analytes tested for which are highlighted based on their detection frequencies. Analytes in bright yellow were detected in multiple systems throughout the study while the light-yellow analytes were detected only at the Santa Fe River Rise and Gilchrist Blue Spring Run stations in October 2018. All 19 of the analytes from that sampling event were detected at the re-emergence of the Santa Fe River at River Rise State Park. This area of the river is unique in that the river disappears upstream at the O’Leno Sink, then travels underground for three miles while mixing with the Floridan Aquifer system, re-emerging at Santa Fe River Rise. These analytes were not detected at the O’Leno State Park station during that sampling event, suggesting that the contaminants entered the aquifer elsewhere and mixed with the Santa Fe River water while underground. The Gilchrist Blue Spring Run had 7 of the 19 analytes present in the water sample. Naked Spring was also sampled that day but did not contain any of the analytes, suggesting that the pesticides originated from Gilchrist Blue Spring groundwater alone.

Atrazine and metolachlor are herbicides used to control broad-leaf plants and grasses in corn, cotton, soybean, peanut, and sugarcane fields. Atrazine was detected during all 7 sampling events at a total of 24 stations. When contamination values are compared, river stations typically had higher amounts of atrazine than spring stations. Although atrazine was detected (Minimum Detection Level (MDL) = 0.24-0.65 ng/L), the concentrations were well below the maximum contamination level (MCL) of 3000 ng/L. Metolachlor was detected in 6 of the sampling events at a total of 19 stations. The concentration of metolachlor was also higher in rivers than in the springs. Although the EPA does not have an MCL for metolachlor, there is a health advisory level of 525,000 ng/L, meaning that the levels detected in our samples are not a health concern.

Appendix A presents the results of water chemistry analysis of samples collected at 10 sites along the Santa Fe River and at 20 of its springs and tributaries. Values above the detection limit are highlighted in yellow and concerning values such as nitrate-nitrogen are highlighted in red (> the FDEP drinking water standard of 10 mg/L).

3.2 Biology 3.2.1 Fish Table 5 presents the results for seasonal data from fish counts during ecological and biological monitoring at ten stations along the Santa Fe and Ichetucknee Rivers. If more than one fish count occurred in one quarter, the count, density, and biomass values were averaged.

Figure 20 illustrates the changes in biomass in each system throughout the year. Detailed quarterly data can be found in Appendix B.

Overall, when comparing fish biomass in the presented springs and rivers, most springs had different seasons where biomass was the highest. The exceptions, Naked and Blue Hole Springs, consistently had high biomass values that ranged from 9.1-17.6 kg/ha and 21.6-48.1 kg/ha, respectively. Both springs are smaller and act as refuges for fish, including larger species such as chubsuckers, largemouth bass, and sunfish. Naked Springs was officially closed to recreational activities in July 2019, but no significant trend in the data was observed related to that closure. Blue Hole Spring is a deeper spring that has a high percent cover of habitable submerged aquatic vegetation that fish use as a sanctuary from the main Ichetucknee River channel.

Hornsby Spring had a high biomass of 12.1 kg/ha during the first quarter of sampling then dropped to below 1 kg/ha for 3 quarters before increasing to 2 kg/ha due to the 2,900 eastern mosquitofish observed. Hornsby is a low dissolved oxygen spring (<0.5 mg/L) and does not provide a suitable habitat to sustain fish populations. Fish that were observed most often were eastern mosquitofish, minnows, and golden shiners, species that typically stay near the surface of the water where more oxygen is available. Poe Spring also has low dissolved oxygen availability for fish (<1 mg/L). Like Hornsby, most fish observed at Poe were smaller species: eastern mosquitofish, redeye chub, and smaller sunfish. These species were observed only around the edge of the spring and near the surface of the water, with the exception of bowfin, which are typically found lying on the bottom of a spring. Bowfin have evolved to live in hypoxic conditions as they are bimodal breathers, meaning that they can breathe both underwater as well as break the surface to gulp air.

Fish biomass at Gilchrist Blue Spring typically ranged from 4.1-7.2 kg/ha, with quarter 4 increasing to 14.8 kg/ha. Counts were conducted from the head spring, down the run up to the confluence with the Santa Fe River. Data was separated into head spring and run data to compare the potential differences in distribution. All quarters, except for quarter 8, exhibited higher counts in the run compared to the head spring; however, due to the difference in areas, the areal biomass estimates in the two sections were similar. There was not a significant seasonal trend in the Gilchrist Blue system, however, a higher number of small fishes were observed in the spring and summer months due to spawning.

Like Gilchrist Blue, Ichetucknee Head Spring and its run were separated to determine differences in fish assemblages within the system. The head spring ranged from 5.5 to 42 kg/ha, with the highest values in quarters 4 (34 kg/ha) and 8 (42 kg/ha). During quarter 4, 250 large sunfish and 51 bass contributed to the high biomass, while in quarter 8, a total of 3,735 fish were observed but consisted mostly of sunfish and many smaller fish such as Eastern mosquitofish, minnows, and shiners. The Ichetucknee Head Spring Run had lower areal biomass values, due to a larger survey area. When in the run, the depth and flow prevented observers from stopping and counting in highly vegetated areas which could account for lower count, density, and biomass values. Compared to the head spring, the run contained between 2.4-5.5 times the number of fish, due to the increased area.

3.2.2 Snails

Figure 21 presents the population density of snails for the Gilchrist Blue, Ichetucknee, and Poe spring for quarters 5 through 8. Figure 22 presents the total snail counts during each month of sampling at the three systems. Gilchrist Blue exhibited overall higher densities of snails with the highest density reaching 38.8 snails/m2 in quarter 5. This is likely due to sufficient DO levels and vegetation cover within the system to support snail populations, but not so much vegetation as to obscure the snails from visual counts. The decrease in density and counts in the summer months (quarter 6) could potentially correspond to an increase in human recreation in the spring and spring run disturbing the sediment/snail habitat. Ichetucknee also exhibited higher densities and counts (highest average of 16.5 snails/m2 in quarter 5), however the Ichetucknee has a higher percent coverage of vegetation than Gilchrist or Poe, which can make it difficult to view snails when conducting visual surveys. Poe has the lowest densities and counts for snails. This is likely due to the lack of vegetation and DO (average of 0.75 mg/L) to support the food and habitat needs for snail populations.

3.2.2 Vegetation

Table 6 through Table 10 present the results of vegetation surveys conducted along transects at Gilchrist Blue, Naked, Blue Hole, and Poe springs as well as a portion of the Ichetucknee River. Blue Hole (T-6) has been combined with the Ichetucknee River system. Observations have been divided into six categories: bare ground (sand, rocks, roots, etc.), detritus, algae, submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), floating vegetation, and emergent vegetation. Detailed transect and species data can be found in Appendix C.

Table 6 provides period-of-record statistics for percent cover for all ecological monitoring systems. Throughout our study, Poe and Gilchrist Blue Springs on average had the highest amount of bare ground. Both systems experienced heavy foot traffic which disturbed the spring bottom and its vegetation. The Ichetucknee River had the highest average SAV which consisted mostly of strap-leaf sagittaria. Algae was most prevalent at Poe Spring with an average of 43% percent cover.

Table 7 presents statistics on percent cover at Poe Springs, a biologically depauperate system, for quarters 5 through 8. The naturally occurring SAV can be found along the banks of the head spring but does not extend into the run where the transects are located. Most of the floating vegetation and SAV were a result of a replanting project by the Alachua County Environmental Protection Department. These species did not occur prior to replanting, but following that, floating and SAV ranged from 0.03 and 0.9% and consisted of strap-leaf sagittaria and both the common and giant duckweed. Since quarter 5, bare ground decreased by 26%, but was replaced by algae. Algae coverage increased from 29% in June 2019 to 54% in March 2020. Nitrate-nitrogen concentrations in this spring during this sampling period had an upward trend which may explain the increase in algae coverage.

Vegetation at Gilchrist Blue Spring (Table 8) has been monitored since Quarter 1. This system has been dominated by bare ground and detritus with algae fluctuating from 18% in June 2018 to 42% in March 2019 and dropping to 7% in March 2020. Muskgrass (Chara sp.), a multicellular green alga that resembles land plants, contributed a small percentage to the algae category (1 - 5.2%). SAV ranged from 0.5 to 6.7% and consisted mostly of alligator weed, East Indian Hygrophila, red ludwigia, and pennywort. Naked Spring (Table 9) is dominated by bare ground, detritus, and algae. Since closing the spring to recreational activities in July 2019, the SAV has increased to 7.3% with even more SAV in the head spring by the vents. On average, bare ground, detritus, and algae have decreased by 8%, 25%, and 2.5%, respectively.

Table 10 illustrates the shift of percent cover in the Ichetucknee Head Spring Run from the kayak launch to below the confluence of Blue Hole Spring, as well as Blue Hole Spring (T-6). The presence of bare ground increased from quarter 5 to 6, most likely due to human use during the summer months. Bare ground decreased during the winter months but increased again from January to March. Overall algae cover has decreased by 11% from quarter 5 to 8 and experienced a spike during quarter 7. SAV decreased throughout our study at the transects, however, strap-leaf sagittaria appeared to be rebounding below the canoe launch where foot traffic usually occurred. Percent plant cover in Blue Hole Spring consisted mostly of SAV, algae, and floating vegetation (duckweed and water fern). Due to the depth and high discharge of the spring, foot traffic is not common, possibly contributing to the relatively high cover of strap-leaf sagittaria and lack of bare ground. The observed algal cover in Blue Hole is primarily epiphytic with excessive growth covering much of the native SAV.

3.3.3 Human Use Table 11 provides detailed human use data between spring systems and days of the week throughout the study at of five springs of interest: Poe, Gilchrist Blue, Naked, Ichetucknee and Blue Hole. Each spring system had both weekday and weekend human use surveys, with the total weekend visitors counts ranging from 2-18 times higher than weekday surveys. April-September exhibited the highest visitor numbers and densities for all spring systems. For every spring, except for Blue Hole Spring, in-water density (#/m2) was higher than out-of-water density due to the activities available as well as the popularity and area of the spring.

Figure 23 through Figure 32 illustrate the number of park visitors participating in in-water and out-of-water activities throughout the study. Two graphs are presented for each spring to show the fluctuation of the number of visitors and to display the difference of human densities (#/m2) between the spring and the surrounding land as well as between weekday and weekend use.

Poe Spring (Figure 23 and Figure 24) was surveyed during 12 sampling trips throughout the study. Survey lengths were significantly shorter than other springs and usually occurred in the morning before the prime time for guests to visit the spring which could account for low visitor counts. Compared to other systems, Poe Spring had lower visitor counts, except for two days during the summer where weekend visitation spiked to 2,900-3,500 people. During the winter weekend surveys, there was no in-water activity, most likely due to the air temperature.

Gilchrist Blue Spring (Figure 25 and Figure 26) was monitored for seven of the eight months of the study. On average, the weekday and weekend visitation was highest at Gilchrist Blue Spring when compared to the other systems. In-water density was consistently higher than out-of-water density, with many guests wading, bathing, swimming, and launching or returning kayaks. The visitation rate to Gilchrist Blue did not seem to increase due to the closure of Naked Spring. Due to its closure in July 2019, Naked Spring (Figure 27 and Figure 28) was surveyed for human use only during quarters 5 and 6. During those two quarters, it was surveyed once on a weekday and twice on the weekend. The highest observation of visitors occurred during quarter 5 when 437 guests were counted at the spring, with human density estimated to be 3 people/m2. The spring was closed in July 2019 to allow the submerged aquatic vegetation to recover from the excessive foot traffic and human use.

Ichetucknee Head Spring (Figure 29 and Figure 30) human use data were collected during quarters 5-8. The highest visitor count occurred during a weekend in Quarter 5 with 2,400 guests counted and a density of 1.8 people/m2 in the water, which was significantly higher than any other survey of the system. Following that June survey, visitation dropped throughout the fall and winter months, with one spike during an October weekend.

Blue Hole Spring (Figure 31 and Figure 32) was surveyed 6 times throughout the study with 3 surveys occurring during the week and 3 during the weekend. Unlike the other spring systems, the out-of-water density was consistently higher than the in-water density, most likely due to the depth of the spring. Most visitors immediately entered the spring upon arrival due to limited space on the platforms and very few remained in the water for an extended amount of time. Blue Hole Spring is deeper and therefore eliminates the possibility of wading or bathing, leaving most people to snorkel or SCUBA dive. Most out-of-water activity consisted of people walking to the spring and observing it with few people staying and sitting.

Detailed human activity graphs for the studied springs can be found in Appendix D.

3.3 Ecosystem Level Monitoring Table 12 provides a summary of ecosystem metabolism parameters collected at nine spring and river systems throughout the two-year study.

Figure 33 provides time series graphs for GPP, NPP, and CR for five main spring systems throughout the study. The top graph represents the changes of GPP for each system. Throughout the eight quarters of data collection, the average rates of GPP ranged between 0.62 O2/m2/day at the Devil’s Spring System to over 29 O2/m2/day in the Ichetucknee River. Although all sites are clear water systems, the productivity varies greatly due to water clarity, the presence or absence of SAV, and algal biomass. Springs that had the lowest GPP also had low percent coverage of naturally occurring submerged aquatic vegetation, while systems with high GPP (the upper and lower Ichetucknee and Blue Hole Spring) also had a high percent of strap-leaf sagittaria present. Blue Hole Spring and the lower portion of the river averaged 20 O2/m2/d while the Ichetucknee River above Blue Hole Spring was half as productive as the rest of the system with an average of 9.52-20 O2/m2/d. Poe Spring had similar GPP values to Gilchrist Blue and Naked Spring and higher values than the Ginnie Spring System throughout 8 quarters. This is most likely due to the size of Poe Spring as well as the abundance of algae. Both Ginnie and Gilchrist Blue Springs experience foot traffic from recreation which has reduced both SAV and algal cover, thus reducing productivity. Gilchrist Blue Spring’s average was skewed due to the inclusion of the run during quarters 1-4. During quarters 5-8, GPP dropped from 5.3-9.6 O2/m2/d to 1.1-2.9 O2/m2/d. The difference from quarters 1-4 and 5-8 values is a result of moving the sampling location from the head spring to the confluence of the Santa Fe River to only measuring the head spring. The values suggest that the system as a whole, including input from Naked Spring, is 2-3 times more productive than the head spring alone.

NPP (the difference between GPP and CR) estimates an excess of fixed carbon produced by a spring. NPP values were measured between -18.5 and 1.68 O2/m2/day. A negative value suggests that these systems are heterotrophic and using internal fixed carbon in order to meet their metabolic needs. Most springs had negative NPP values with the exception of the Lower Ichetucknee River which ranged from 0.30 to 2.0 O2/m2/day. Springs and spring runs that are under forest canopies receive fixed carbon inputs from leaves and are often heterotrophic.

The average rates of CR ranged from 1.28 to 27 O2/m2/day. Community respiration was highest in the Ichetucknee River system (6.36-44.81 O2/m2/day). The remaining systems ranged from 1.28-12 O2/m2/day.

Figure 34 presents P:R ratio values for all of the systems during the study. Values varied from 0.32 to 2.6 with most springs at or below the balanced ecological quotient of 1. Springs with values above 1 are considered autotrophic and springs with values below 1 are heterotrophic. The Gilchrist Blue Spring system was dominated by heterotrophs (animals, bacteria, fungi) for 7 of the 9 sampling events; however two spikes in P:R ratio occurred in January and November 2019 resulting in values of 2.63 and 2.38 indicating that they system shifted from heterotrophic to autotrophic at that time. Light availability following leaf fall during the winter months may have been the cause of a higher GPP resulting in a higher P/R ratio. The significant increase in the P:R ratio at Poe Spring in February 2020 was caused by an increase in productivity and a slight decrease in community respiration. Some springs switch between being autotrophically or heterotrophically dominated systems, but more data is needed to determine if seasonal effects have an influence.
