What does this data set describe?

Title:
Salinity control structures for estuaries associated with southeast Florida inlets
Abstract:
The salinity control structures (SCSs) were selected from the STRUCTURES feature class in the SFWMD's ArcHydro Extended Database. The SCSs were selected visually and verified with technical input from South Florida Watershed Management District (SFWMD) personnel.
