EVAPORATIVE CONCENTRATION: During thewarmer months, evaporation raises Bay salinities inmany places. During this study we found salinities upto 60 ppm in the bays along the edge of the Ever-glades, but the recovery of crystals of both calcite andanhydrite from some cores along the northern edge ofthe Bay shows that concentrations have exceeded 90ppm at times. Thus, depending on location, faunas can be subjectto wide shifts in salinity up to 60 ppm along the Ev-erglades to changes of less than five ppm in the south-ern flume, where water enters from the Atlantic.
