The objective of this project is to evaluate relative distribution, abundance, and demographic structure of alligators in various habitats in relation to water levels and salinities. Relative distribution and abundance of alligators is a key indicator component of the conceptual ecosystem models for the marl prairie/rocky glades, ridge and slough, and mangrove transition zone ecosystems and has been identified as a performance measure in the CERP monitoring and assessment plan. Demographic data is needed for development of models to assess the potential impacts from the operation of CERP projects (CERP science objective 3004-3).
