The lower reach of the Onrus River or Onrust River as it is also known, has a small fresh water lagoon at its mouth. The area was originally part of a farm. According to Bulpin (1980) the first Europeans to visit the area called it "Onrus (restless) because of the everlasting droning of the sea". The estuary could act as a shelter for estuarine fish and support a marine invertebrate population near the mouth. It could have an area of reeds in the shallow water at the lagoon head with associated freshwater invertebrates and also provide a large expanse of deep water for recreational activities.enEstuaries - South African estuariesEstuarine systemCape estuariesCoastal researchOnrus estuaryOnrus RiverTerrestrial vegetationBiotic characteristicsAbiotic characteristicsFaunaFloraRiver catchmentCSIRCouncil for Scientific and Industrial ResearchNRIONational Research Institute for OceanologyOnrust RiverReportHeinecken, T., & St J Damstra, K.
