Observation details

Overview

Estuary Anglesea River Estuary
Site Anglesea River Estuary Mouth Observation Site
Observation ID #7252
Date and Time Thursday 7th June 2012 13:30pm
Approved Approved

Notes

There was only a slight flow in. The tide was coming in, so if it was low tide there probably wouldn't have interaction between the ocean and the estuary. The tide was pushing up the estuary, however it was still shallow enough to walk over. Notably, two weeks ago the estuary was artificially opened, which had caused some significant dunes.
