Greetings UNIO List members-
 
I am working on a project sponsored by the South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD). During the course of routine operations, SFWMD
technicians collect and preserve specimens from the rivers, lakes and
wetlands under the SFWMD jurisdiction. The annual volume of these specimens
can be quite large. As many as 5000 lots of organisms may be collected each
year from as many as 500 different locations. As these technicians are not
capable of making the necessary identifications, we are attempting to
locate experts in the appropriate taxonomic discipline, e.g. freshwater
mollusks, aquatic insects, freshwater crustacea.
 
We are also compiling a database of the existing biological and systematics
collections corresponding to south Florida and would like information on
relevant material held by you or your institution.
 
We are looking for specialists to join our invertebrate ID team. This
project can potentially benefit you, your collections and/or your
institution. At this time, we are seeking only people and collections
located in Florida. If you have the appropriate expertise and have interest
in knowing more about this project please reply. We appreciate any
pertinent information that you might have regarding colleagues,
collections, or institutions that we should contact.
 
Thank you,
 
Robert
