establishing a meaningful MFL rule, Biscayne Bay has been separated into six |
sub-regions (Figures 1 -7): |
· Snake Creek/Oleta River |
· Northern Biscayne Bay |
· Miami River/Government Cut |
· Central Biscayne Bay |
· South-Central Biscayne Bay |
· Southern Biscayne Bay |
The distinctly varying conditions in these sub-regions also led to the Bay being |
subdivided into approximately these same units in the Comprehensive |
Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) (USACE and SFWMD 1999). For the |
purposes of establishing MFL rules, the CERP boundaries have been modified |
slightly based on the influence of canal discharges, tidal inlets and the |
presence/absence of submerged aquatic vegetation. Brief descriptions of the six |
sub-regions and highlights of the characteristics that separate each one from |
other areas of the Bay follow, in sequential order from north to south. More |
detailed descriptions of the ecological conditions in each sub-region follow in |
Section 2.c. |
