7 Tampa Bay region socioecosystem Research Questions 1. How do wetlands respond to water policies and the urban growth that those policies facilitate? 2. How do perceptions and values of change in freshwater habitats vary? 3. How do relationships among jurisdictions and stakeholders result in particular water policies?
8 Wetland hydrology in the Tampa Bay region socioecosystem.) Elevati ion (m a.s.l Unharmed cypress dome Harmed cypress dome Flooded Dry Soil core elevation Deep-point of wetland basin

10 Understanding public perceptions of wetlands landscapes and their effects on water redistribution policies Graduate student research Cornelius Adjei Citizen action and influence on policy Gina Larsen Changing landscapes and sense of place Social science methods Semi-structured key-informant interviews Focus groups Direct observation at public meetings about water Structured resident interviews i (orally administered i d survey questions)
11 Key informant interviews, focus groups, resident interviews & public meeting observation Semi-structured interviews with key informants - Regulators and managers - Politicians - Business and development interests - Citizen and landowner interest groups - Environmental advocacy groups Focus groups - Recruited residents with professed interest - Open-ended discussions on key topics help refine subsequent resident interviews - Discovered stakeholders in resource conflict areas Public meetings: note topic, who turns up and what they say Structured resident interviews (orally administered surveys in homes, businesses, coffee shops)
12 Focus group location Race Track Rd
13 Preliminary findings from focus groups Many residents feel strongly about destruction of wetlands, lakes and other freshwater resources that have been directly affected by groundwater pumping Directly affected residents have a good understanding of the water distribution system and its effects on local wetlands and aquifer Developers l and political l interests t often blamed for influencing problems more than utility and governmental agencies responsible for distribution of water Race Track Rd Half Moon Lake
14 Sampling strategy: resident interviews Water providing vs. water consuming areas Pbli Public vs. private supply, length of residence, other demographic covariates Selection based on randomly generated parcel data (residential addresses using ArcGIS) Wellfield Source: Shawn Landry & Rich Hammond
15 Resident interviews Do residents near impacted areas have greater understanding of water distribution, equity, and environmental impact? What do resident in study area know about change in water resources, particularly wetlands? Who do they hold most responsible for these changes, and why? h? What do residents view as the drivers of change in wetlands? How do these views affect their participation in public meetings about water?
