Excerpt from The Ecology of the Apalachicola Bay System: An Estuarine Profile Apalachicola Bay complex is only one part of a major drainage area that includes the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, and Flint River systems (ml one side and the northeastern Gulf of Mexico on the other. The boundaries that separate various components the river and its associated wetlands, the bay system, and the open gulf) are artificial in an ecological sense. Likewise, the traditional boundaries that have separated various scientific disciplines-such as physics, chemistry, meteorology, and bioloqy-are somewhat arbitrary when a systems approach is used to determine the functional interactions among interacting subsystems. Thus various boundaries must be crossed when the investigator attempts to understand an entire aquatic ecosystem.
