    Florida LAKEWATCH

    Florida LAKEWATCH

    An alligator and aquatic vegetation in a freshwater pond in the Everglades.

    Graduate Students

    Since the start of Florida LAKEWATCH in 1986 there have been a total 40 graduate students (1-PhD, 32 Masters thesis required and 8 Masters thesis not required) who finished degrees in some aspect of lake management under the LAKEWATCH umbrella. Many of these students are now professional working throughout Florida protecting our valuable aquatic resources.

    Below is a list of their theses titles and they can be found at https://web.uflib.ufl.edu/etd.html
