Welcome to the South Florida Information Access (SOFIA) Website. South Florida is one of several study areas within USGS Priority Ecosystems Science (PES; formerly "Place-Based Studies"). PES was established to enable the USGS to enhance its scientific assistance to resource managers who require an improved scientific information base to resolve or prevent complex resource conflicts or environmental problems in specific ecosystem sites.

For an overview of the website, you can either search the site for specific words or topics, or visit the "About SOFIA" page. You can access information on projects by title, investigator, or by region. The data exchange site contains data related to all of the projects. We also have a publications database that contains Open File Reports, Fact Sheets, and other publications for our projects.
