Bot River Estuary Forum
The Bot-Kleinmond Estuarine System consists in essence of the estuarine lake with a controlled open/closed breaching of the mouth into the Indian Ocean. Primarily it can be considered Estuarine Waters that are dominated by sea water when the mouth is open. However, since the mouth is mostly closed, the Bot section more typically has the characteristics of a brackish lagoon. The system has a double mouth, and the smaller Kleinmond section tends to be freshwater dominated when the mouth is closed.
