Identifier 07LME01
Alternate names This represents Task 2 of BASIS project B6JST
Purpose Characterize the surface and groundwater hydrology in the coastal Everglades
Location Everglades National Park, FL
Summary This task of the project collects continuous hydrological data from a network of 16 sites along several drainages in the coastal Everglades. Sites vary from freshwater wetlands (in headwater areas) to mangrove forests in downstream, tidal regions.
