	Oxbows of the Caloosahatchee
		The hypothesis states that the Caloosahatchee River oxbows have been filling in with sedimentation and increasing in width since the study in 1978.
		From the Franklin Lock to the Gulf of Mexico the average depth of the river is twenty-two feet, and after the Edison Bridge, the channels width becomes 100 feet across.
		The river is now a channel that is 75 miles in length from its source, Lake Okeechobee, all the way to its mouth, the Gulf of Mexico.

	Coastal Ecosystems - Estuaries - Caloosahatchee River & Estuary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Caloosahatchee River Estuary is a large system where the waters of the Gulf of Mexico mix with the freshwater inflows from the river, sloughs and overland sheetflows in the basin.
		Water quality within the Caloosahatchee River basin is threatened by altered freshwater inputs, nutrient loads from agricultural activities, trace elements as well as overall urban growth and development within the watershed.
		The goal for the Caloosahatchee River watershed is to protect and enhance the estuaries that receive freshwater regulatory releases from Lake Okeechobee through the Caloosahatchee River.

	Caloosahatchee River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Caloosahatchee River is a river on the southwest Gulf Coast of Florida in the United States, approximately 75 mi (121 long).

		Since the late 19th century, dredging and channelization of the river, as well as the artificial connection to Lake Okeechobee and its use as a water supply for urban and agricultural uses, have substantially altered the hydrology of the river.

	River advocates call for Lake O reforms \| BonitaNews.com
		Overlooking the Caloosahatchee River from Centennial Park in Fort Myers, environmental advocates lamented the river’s declining health with a faint glimmer of hope for the future.
		To have it sacrificed as a disposal conduit for the polluted waters held in Lake Okeechobee is unacceptable to the communities of Southwest Florida,” Hecker said.
		In addition, Hecker and Erick Lindblad, president of the Conservation Foundation, said that while the river is damaged from excessive discharges in the rainy season, it is also damaged in the dry season by lack of water.

	Caloosahatchee named to endangered rivers list \| BonitaNews.com
		This year, the Caloosahatchee came in at No. 7, because of the role it plays as a flood control outlet for Lake Okeechobee and its potential to bounce back to health if water managers make major changes in the way they move water in South Florida.
		The Corps is planning to rebuild a series of levees along the lower part of that river to prevent flooding in a flood-prone area where Monterey County leaders want to encourage growth.
		While all the rivers listed have their own unique problems, the overriding theme of the report was the need for change at the top level of the Army Corps, so that dangerous or environmentally damaging projects don’t get authorized.

		Annual discharge (1970-79) from Lake Okeechobee to the Caloosahatchee River averaged 51 percent of the total river discharge at Franklin Lock and ranged from 10 to 71 percent of total discharge.
		Excluding rainfall on the river surface and upstream seepage, surface and subsurface runoff from the basin accounted for the remaining total river discharge at Franklin lock.
		Contributions of nitrite plus nitrate, orthophosphate, and total phosphorus from the basin and the river substantially exceeded the contributions from Lake Okeechobee, while contributions of ammonia nitrogen from the basin and river were quite small compared with those from the lake.

	Parasitic and symbiotic fauna in oysters collected from the Caloosahatchee River and Estuary in Florida Journal of ...
		Thus, information regarding the presence or absence of parasites/symbionts in the Caloosahatchee estuary should be useful in assessing anthropogenic impacts when combined with all other aspects of the study.
		Therefore, the objective of this study is to report, for the first time, a survey of those parasites and symbionts observed in oysters from selected collection sites in the Caloosahatchee study area and briefly discuss how their presence or absence may indicate greater biologic diversity and a measure of ecosystem health.
		The first project was designed to examine the effects of season and freshwater flow on the ecologic and physiologic processes of oysters as well as the habitat use of oyster reefs by fish and crustaceans.
