note: 'bio' is the biological assessment- poor...fair...good...excellent.
The tidal influence does not encourage a wide range of typically freshwater aquatic

The Little Manatee River is a designated Outstanding Florida Waterway.
(*) an asterisk indicates a noteworthy remark which may have affected the test results on that day.
