Site Note: 

*Normally a river's course is described in the direction of it's current flow. The Indian River Estuary doesn't have a directional flow, so this website will always describe it's Water Bodies in a north to south direction.

*Lagoons do not have a directional current and some water bodies (tidal marshes, canals and inlets) flow in both directions, so these water bodies are not technically tributaries. However, for this website's purposes, all connecting water bodies regardless of current, may be referred to as tributaries.
