Dr. F.M. Bayer (RSMAAS) identified the gorgonian fauna from the 

 flats adjacent to Safe Harbor. 



Several members of the staff of the Florida Keys Junior College 

 (where WORL had an analytical laboratory) were helpful during the 

 study and WORL thanks them for their cooperation. 



The author thanks Dr. J.C.R. Kelly, Jr., Director of WORL for his 

 advice and especially thanks the staff of the Florida Office of 

 WORL for their dedicated efforts toward the completion of this project. 

 All of the final drawings and manuscript preparations were done by 

 Fay Brett. She and Charles Hamlin, Field Engineer for WORL at Key 

 West, put in many long hours of difficult work beyond normal work 

 hours and their efforts were deeply appreciated.
