Hymel SN. 2009. Inventory of marine and estuarine benthic macroinvertebrates for nine Southeast Coast Network parks. Natural Resource Report. NPS/SECN/NRR—2009/121. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
A literature-based benthic macroinvertebrate inventory (BMI) was conducted for nine parks in the Southeast Coast Network: CAHA, CALO, CANA, CUIS, FOFR, FOMA, FOPU, FOSU and TIMU. The results presented here include: a baseline inventory of BMI abundance and community composition, based on recent studies in or adjacent to mapped park boundaries; the predicted distribution of BMI, according to habitat type and geography; documentation of species occurrences with vouchered museum records; determination of the status of any Species of Concern; and recommendations for continued and future monitoring efforts of BMI in park habitats.
