Notes

Abstract:
Shark Slough drainage, the largest in Everglades National Park (ENP), forms the southern portion of hte greater Everglades system which, prior to agricultural development, began just below Lake Okeechobee and extended to the Gulf of Mexico. This low lying, wide "river" comprises a mosaic of marsh communities, tree islands, ponds and sloughs. In addition, Shark Slough supports important populations of freshwater fishes, reptiles, and birds, and influences the estuarine system of the Gulf of Mexico. ( English )
