Note

In Florida, management methods in salt marsh impoundments which
benefit mosquito control, fish and wildlife resources, and water quality
enhancement are encouraged. Therefore, to provide quantitative management
information, the water management regime of (1) opening a 20.2 ha. southeast
Florida impoundment to the adjacent estuary with culverts through the dike,
then (2) passively retaining water with flapgate risers has been studied
to determine the effects on marsh flooding, vegatation, fish, macrocrustaceans,
zooplankton, water quality, and mosquitoes.
