Kwa-Zulu Natal Estuaries

One of the best, naturally functioning, small estuaries  in KwaZulu-Natal. The location of the mouth is controlled by the position of the rocks in the surf zone. Many of the small KZN estuaries such as this face the persistent problem of developers wanting to build in the floodplain. These developments may result in the need to artificially breach the mouth whenever ifrastructure is threatened by backing-up estuary waters.
