Report 7 of the Estuaries of the Cape, Part 2: Synopses of available information on individual systems series, edited by Heydorn, AEF and Grindley, JR. Stellenbosch: CSIR.

The Rooiels estuary is a small but ecologically healthy system on the eastern shores of False Bay. It appears to be very much in the same state as it was 23 years ago when surveyed by Van Wyk in 1958. The original river-course was displaced towards the sea by the present bridge and road embankment, creating a small lagoon with an interconnecting channel on the southern side of the floodplain. The system has, however, adapted to this change with no apparent ill-effect. Reasons for the relatively undisturbed state of the estuary can be attributed to effective protection of the catchment and floodplain.enEstuaries - South African estuariesMarine ecologyCape estuariesCoastal researchRooiels estuaryRooiels RiverAbiotic characteristicsBiotic characteristicsFloraFaunaRiver catchmentCouncil for Scientific and Industrial ResearchCSIRNational Research Institute for OceanologyNRIOOceanographyReportEstuarine and Coastal Research Unit, E.
