The purpose of this study is to determine whether the shallow groundwater beneath Biscayne Bay and the outer-shelf reefs are being affected by activities on the mainland.The scope of this study includes installation, sampling, and analyses of water from sub-sea monitoring wells aligned along a transect from the western shore of Biscayne Bay southeastward to the reef tract. Surface water at each well site was also collected. The water samples were then analyzed for potential and known contaminants in the Biscayne and Floridan Aquifers.
