Florida LAKEWATCH Annual Data Summaries 2003 presents limnological data collected from 620 lakes, 125 river/creek stations, 5 springs, and 156 saline stations sampled by Florida LAKEWATCH citizen volunteers during 2003. More than 1500 Florida volunteers have monitored 906 water bodies and saline or offshore stations monthly in 51 counties. This is the twelfth annual Florida LAKEWATCH report in which Florida LAKEWATCH data are summarized and compiled. This year's report contains a comprehensive summary of Florida LAKEWATCH water chemistry data collected during 2003. A dot (.) recorded on a line indicates that no information was collected. The information contained in this report includes the following summaries when available: Florida LAKEWATCH lake water chemistry summary (906 summaries: Volume
1): Appendix 1: Table of all sampling conducted by Florida LAKEWATCH between 1986 through 2003 (Volume 1). Appendix 2: Summary of the Florida LAKEWATCH Angular Diaries(Volume 1). Appendix 3: Florida LAKEWATCH Seasonal & Long-term Trend Analyses (419 Summaries: Volumes 2 & 3) If a water body is large, different citizen groups were responsible for separate areas of the same water body, making these larger water bodies easier to sample. For example, Lake Istokpoga in Highlands County (surface area is 30,117 acres) has two groups of samplers: Istokpoga North (the northern end of the lake) and Istokpoga (the southern end of the lake). This information is available thanks to the hundreds of LAKEWATCH volunteers who are sampling their lakes every month.
