Growth Comments
|
In situ growth within sub-basins of bay. High residency time within sub-basins, but sub-basins flushed by rain and storm events through narrow channels.
|
|
Additional Environmental information:
|
Shallow subtropical lagoon with salinities from essentially freshwater to marine (up to 38.3 0/00). In previous years, the bay has been hypersaline. Resuspension events from winds and tidal action common. Resuspended sediments can change surface discolor
