Final Report publication. Pink shrimp--an ecologically and commercially important species--begin their lives amidst the estuarine environments of south Florida's inshore waters before migrating farther offshore. Throughout their life cycles, pink shrimp serve as a vital link in the food webs of marine environments. The abundance and distribution of pink shrimp along the coast serves as an indicator of overall health, and provides a useful metric for the success of Everglades restoration efforts. This CESI-funded project examined the dynamics of pink shrimp and helped chronicle their movements between estuarine habitats and offshore waters. Researchers also evaluated new methods for monitoring such movements through the use of stable isotopes. Browder, Joan A., Zoula Zein-Eldin, Maria M. Criales, Michael B.
