	Río de la Plata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Río de la Plata (Spanish: "Silver River") — which is often referred to in English-speaking countries as the River Plate (as in the Battle of the River Plate), or sometimes as the [La] Plata River — is the estuary formed by the combination of the Uruguay River and the Paraná River.
		The basin drained by the main tributaries of the Río de la Plata (the Uruguay and Paraná, and the important Paraná tributary, the Paraguay) covers approximately one fifth of South America, including area in southeastern Bolivia, southern and central Brazil, the entire nation of Paraguay, most of Uruguay and northern Argentina.
		The Río de la Plata is an habitat for the rare La Plata Dolphin, sea turtles (Caretta caretta, Chelonia mydas, and Dermochelys coriacea), and many species of fish.

		Hence it was hardly surprising that before the establishment of the Río de la Plata viceroyalty the economic as well as the administrative focus of the territories of south-eastern Spanish America were centred on the Andean plateau and coastal region.
		By February 1807, British forces remaining in the River Plate were firmly dug in across the river in Montevideo, awaiting the arrival of Whitelocke and some 10,000 war-hardened veterans.

	SFEI: Biological Invasions Program Information
		Our study of biological invasions in the San Francisco Estuary found that exotic organisms dominate many important habitats in the ecosystem in terms of species, number of organisms and biomass, leading to the conclusion that it is one of the most invaded aquatic ecosystems and perhaps the most invaded estuary in the world.
		The overall project is to investigate and model the dynamics and impacts (including non-market economic impacts) of the invasion and spread of the exotic cordgrass Spartina alterniflora on the Pacific Coast.
		SFEI's component is to investigate the impacts of the invasion on nesting passerine birds in San Francisco Bay saltmarshes, particularly the impacts on and interactions between saltmarsh song sparrows and marsh wrens.
