FIB TOOLS

  • Fecal Indicator Bacteria workflows being developed (CCMP PH-2, PH-4, PH-5)
  • Builds off of Hillsborough River BMAP work
  • Extend baywide, integrated FIB report card

TBEPTOOLS FIB DOWNLOAD

  • Preliminary workflows described in tbeptools vignette
  • Download data from all five counties in TB watershed
library(tbeptools)

# get EPC data
fibdata <- read_importfib('epcfib.xlxs', download_latest = T)

# get Pinellas County data
pincodata <- read_importwqp(org = '21FLPDEM_WQX', type = 'fib')

TBEPTOOLS FIB MAP

  • Map month/year results for EPC data by area
show_fibmap(fibdata, yrsel = 2022, mosel = 7, areasel = 'Hillsborough River')

TBEPTOOLS FIB MATRIX

  • Matrix methods adapted from 2013 report card
  • Currently at site-level, can expand to broader spatial units
