Durako MJ, Murphy MD, Haddad KD. 1988. Assessment of Fisheries Habitat: Northeast Florida. Florida marine research publications, 0095-0157; no. 45. Florida Department of Natural Resources, Bureau of Marine Reasearch. St. Petersburg, FL
Analyzes the extent of existing estuarine fisheries habitats, reviews the historical loss of coastal vegetation of selected areas, and discusses some impacts of development that have directly or indirectly affected coastal habitats and fisheries resources. Northeast Florida has lost fisheries habitat and is likely to lose more in the future. These losses must be monitored and minimized to ensure productive and economically important fisheries.
