Abstract
The development of electricity generating stations around Biscayne Bay, Florida, has resulted in a considerable discharge of cooling water into this subtropical sea. The impact of this on the biology of the area has been studied for the last four years by a team of scientists; this report summarizes their general conclusions.

It appears that eelgrass can use phosphate from sediments and from water, suggesting that in nature seagrass may act either as a sink or as a source for dissolved phosphorus in estuarine waters.

The giant cell of the alga Valonia provides a convenient laboratory tool for measuring pollution effects and changes in the electrical properties of the cell membrane are closely correlated with lethal temperature levels.
