Current meter and hydrographic data from a tidal channel connecting the western side of Exuma Sound with the eastern margin of Great Bahama Bank are used to investigate the efficiency of tidal exchanges. The density of water leaving the bank is usually higher than the density of water arriving on the flood tide. Data from near the shelf break confirm that density currents cascade down the narrow shelf. An edited version of this paper was published by AGU. This publication may be cited as: Smith, N. P.
