SCCF's policy team answers the Top Ten questions they are most commonly asked about the Caloosahatchee estuary. Their discussion includes answers to these questions and more.

• Why do we even want any flows from Lake Okeechobee?
• Why does the estuary require a specific salinity balance?
• How do lake management decisions and watershed runoff impact that balance?
• How are indicator species used to monitor estuary health?

• How do too high (or low) of flows stress the estuary?
• What projects exist to improve the health of the estuary?
