... data of TP and OP to get a better understanding of the sources contributing to the TP load along the WPB-C51 canal. was originally a freshwater lake that received waters from wetland systems located at its western edge ( Criger et al., 2005). By 1919 an inlet was made at the north end of LWL and a subsequent inlet followed at its southern edge (Fig. 1). These two inlets (Lake Worth Inlet and South Lake Worth Inlet) connect LWL with the Atlantic Ocean and allow the tidal exchange, and the conditions of salinity needed for seagrass and other marine organisms established in the lagoon. Discharges from the C51 canal account for more than 60% of the freshwater discharges into LWL (Lake ...

... until the end of the studied period, no significant differences were found between station C51S155 and the other studied stations with the exception of station S352 for WY 9 (Table 5). Contrary to TP, highest concentrations did not occur predominantly in the west section. However, the EBEACH station had the highest concentrations and variability (Figs. 9, 10, and 11). 66 ± 4 57 ± 3 123 ± 32 72 ± 5 39 ± 7 56 ± 7 41 ± 4 7 67 ± 6 58 ± 6 212 ± 59 89 ± 9 45 ± 6 44 ± 7 37 ± 11 8 50 ± 3 47 ± 3 146 ± 61 62 ± 9 39 ± 7 44 ± 9 29 ± 10 9 85 ± 8 51 ± 10 259 ± 55 101 ± 15 80 ± 22 72 ± 10 45 ± 9 10 67 ± 6 70 ± 11 279 ± 91 82 ± 12 87 ± 24 71 ± 13 40 ± 6 †Units are µg L -1 .
