Results:

• Grabas et al.: Find correlation between taxa abundance and intensity of water level oscillations

Focus on vegetation

• Shidan et al.: Flushing times less than a day in many embayments.

Focus on water exchanges due to density gradients

• Haffner et al.: Residence time <10 days
• Focus on Inner Harbour and nutrient loadings.

Notes:

Very few reviewed studies have been published about the physical processes in Toronto Harbour.
