The Florida State University Coastal and Marine Laboratory's research program focuses on coastal and marine issues of ecological importance that provide the scientific basis for policy decisions. The program is interdisciplinary in nature, based on an ecosystem-level approach. This kind of program at this time is critically important because the northwest Florida coast is facing a dramatic increase in coastal development.

Under "Publications" listed on the bar above, are all the published papers we could find that were either written by scientists around the country who used the FSUCML facilities to conduct research or acknowledged the laboratory for its support of their research. This is a living document, so any additions are welcome. The document is available in End Note by request.

The checklist is also a living document that is based on the "Annotated check-list of the marine fauna and flora of the St. George's Sound-Apalachee Bay region, Florida Gulf Coast," compiled by Dr. R. W. Menzel in 1956. Any contributions are most welcome to this list.
