Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Salt and suspended particulate matter (SPM) exchange between the Sol Bay and the Pará River and their tidal/seasonal variability was investigated along the interface cross-section (1°4′30.37″S 48°19′37.48″W), over spring tidal cycles, during the wet (Apr/2015) and dry (Oct/2015) seasons. Advective transport of salt and SPM was analyzed to evaluate trends and contributions of involved mechanism. Overall, salinity was low (S
