Water carrying dissolved and particulate matter flows in shallow sloughs that become channelized through broad bands of creeks as they near the coastline (Ru~nick et al., 1999~. Fresh water enters the Bay primarily as channel flow fed by Taylor SIough and to a lesser extent the C-~11 canal (a major water conveyance canal, now intentionally breached, on the southeast edge of Everglades National Park)

Linkages with the Everglades Florida Bay is intimately linked to the Everglades from both hydrologic and public policy perspectives. From a hydrologic perspective, some of the water draining from the Everglades flows directly into Florida Bay, supplying it with freshwater runoff that is high in total nitrogen (Brand, 2002)

The report reflects discussions and reviews of poster presentations and abstracts from the April 200 ~ Florida Bay Science Conference and a review of relevant peer-reviewed literature. Chapter 2 of this report describes the potential effects of the CERP on Florida Bay, specifically addressing the question: will increased flows of water deemed necessary to restore terrestrial and wetland habitats in the Everglades contribute to the restoration and enhancement of Florida Bay or will they have detrimental effects on the Bay ecosystem?
