Summary
Abstract:
Between 1995 and 2008, the Aquatic Mercury Cycling in the Everglades (ACME) project examined in detail the biogeochemical parameters that influence methylmercury (MeHg) production in the Florida Everglades. The interdisciplinary ACME team studied Hg cycling in the Everglades through a process-based, biogeochemical lens (Hurley et al. 1998). In the Everglades, as in most other ecosystems, inorganic ...
 Purpose: In the mid-1990’s, the State of Florida began to recognize elevated MeHg accumulation in Everglades fish. Concentrations of MeHg in fish posed health risks to people utilizing that resource, and bioaccumulation of MeHg posed risks to fish, wading birds, and mammals in the ecosystem. ACME was designed to evaluate the processes that led to excessive net MeHg production and bioaccumulation in parts of the Everglades.
