Description
Summary:Over the period 2016–2022 environmental data were obtained at four points in the northern section of the tropical Estero Salado (ES), the inner coastal lagoon that flows through Guayaquil, the largest city in Ecuador. Surface water from the more remote southern limit of the ES, El Morro was also sampled in 2022. The study shows that waters of the northern part of this low salinity (
