	Montezuma Marsh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Montezuma Marsh is a marsh at the northern end of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes region of New York.
		Much of the marsh is part of the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, which is a major point on the route of many migratory birds, such as Canada geese and mallard ducks.
		Cayuga Lake and Montezuma Marsh were partially created by the damming effect of huge quantities of glacial drift brought from the Laurentian Shield of Canada and the deepened Ontario valley.

	Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge - Origins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		There were no dramatic changes in the marsh until the development of the Erie Canal in the 19th century, when it became apparent that feeder canals from Seneca and Cayuga Lakes would in time link these lakes with the main line.
		With canal construction, there arose the possibility of draining the marshes, and an act was passed relative to the draining of the Cayuga Marshes.
		In 1910, the widening and reconstruction of the Seneca and Cayuga extension of the New York State Barge Canal altered the marshes.

	NPS Historical Handbook: Montezuma Castle
		The name was given by early settlers in the Verde Valley in the belief that the striking 5-story ruin with its 20 rooms had been built by Aztec refugees, fleeing from central Mexico at the time of the Spanish conquest.
		This is their story, and we hope that it can take you back in your mind's eye to the time when their fingers left marks as they plastered the walls of Montezuma Castle, and to the time when their fires left the smoke deposits you still see on those walls.
		Montezuma Well and the cave in which Montezuma Castle is built both exist today because of a series of events that began over 1 million years ago.

		Agrarian land has fetched $1,200 to $1,500 an acre of late, and the highest bidders are invariably the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the state Department of Environmental Conservation and, occasionally, environmental stewards such as The Nature Conservancy.
		As it fills out — a split of 9,000 federal acres and 8,000 state acres — the complex is becoming an increasingly vital feeding, resting and nesting ground on the Atlantic Flyway, a superhighway for ducks and geese, shorebirds, songbirds and raptors traveling between Canada and the Eastern seaboard or points south.
		Keeping the public engaged is a crucial mission — plans are afoot to build a scenic overlook along the Thruway, which carries 16 million people a year, by 2010.

		These two studies examined: 1) the relative value of marsh plants as duck food; 2) the influence of soil salinity and other factors on distribution and growth of marsh plants; and 3) the relationships between channel water salinity and soil salinity.
		Suisun Marsh Program activities during this period focused on planning for implementation of Phases III and IV of the Plan of Protection, (the Western Suisun Marsh Salinity Control Project) to meet SWRCB salinity objectives in the western Suisun Marsh.
		The goal of the Suisun Marsh Charter is to develop a regional plan that balances implementation of the CALFED Program, SMPA, and other management and restoration programs within Suisun marsh in a manner responsive to the concerns of stakeholders and based upon voluntary participation by private landowners.

		But the opposition is fierce among those who live along the shoreline and among the generations of ranchers and grain farmers in the vast, sparsely populated Montezuma Hills upland on the site.
		The Montezuma Wetlands Project has been fought by environmentalists who say the soil could bring contamination to the marsh.

	Mexican and Aztec History
		The low marshes near the lake were half buried under water, so the Aztecs sank piles into the shallows and erected their homes and floating gardens.
		Conditions were far from ideal in the new settlement, and to make it worse, a group of citizens broke off from the main group and moved to a neighbouring marsh.
		This alliance soon began to spread out of the Mexican Valley and by the middle of the 1400's, under the rule of the first Montezuma had spread down the sides of the tableland to the borders of the Gulf of Mexico.
