Estuarine biology Figure 43.—The flow of pollutants into estuarine areas by coastal segment. Circled numbers are coastal segment numbers. inadequate Hooker Point sewage treatment plant, the major source of sewage in Tampa Bay, with a tertiary treatment plant at a cost of about $84 million. The obnoxious odor emanating from Hillsborough Bay due mainly to decompo- sition of the red alga, Gracilaria, has been thor- oughly investigated (FSBH, 1965; Federal Water Pollution Control Administration, 1969b). Other effects of pollution in Tampa Bay include reduction of the number of species of mollusks in Hillsborough Bay from over 20 to 4 (Taylor, Hall, and Saloman, 1970) and evidence of eu- trophication in Boca Ciega Bay (Taylor and Saloman, 1968). A special act of the Florida legislature in 1947 made the Fenholloway River a waste depository stream for Taylor County. It was surveyed twice in the early 1950's when it was a good fishing stream and eminently unsuited to receive wastes because of its limited quantity of dissolved oxygen (FSBH, 1951, 1954). Sa- ville (1966) confirmed its degradation. It re- mains unsuited either as a waste depository stream or as a fishing stream and is today a vile- smelling open sewer for the transport of paper mill wastes to the Gulf. The St. Marks River is subject to domestic sewage pollution and oc- casional oil spills (FSBH, 1964a). To the west a small industrial complex that includes a paper mill has altered the water quality and biota of St. Joseph Bay (FSBH, 1962b; Copeland, 1966). In St. Andrew Bay, a sanitary survey demon- strated polluted conditions (FSBH, 1962a). Fish kills and other evidences of gross pollution in Pensacola and Escambia Bays have been in- vestigated by de Sylva (1955), Murdock (1955), FSBH (1964b), Croker and Wilson (1965), FSBH (1966a).
