Report 25 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. (CSIR research report 424)0 7988 2859 5http://hdl.handle.net/10204/3458Estuaries of the CapeIn this report available historical information on Heuningnes estuary is presented. The threat posed by high water levels in the Heuningnes, to the farmland situated on the coastal plain of Bredasdorp reduces the possibility of leaving the mouth to manage itself. However, the maximum water level in the estuary above which inundation of any farm land occurs, should be established. Under the forestry management policy the open mouth should be allowed to migrate back and forth depending on the longshore drift and run-off conditions. The recommendations in this report concerning increased tidal exchange through the forestry causeway should help to solve the management problem at the mouth.enEstuaries - South African estuariesEstuarine systemCape estuariesCoastal researchHeuningnes estuaryHeuningnes riverBiotic characteristicsAbiotic characteristicsFloraFaunaCSIRCouncil for Scientific and Industrial ResearchNRIONational Research Institute for OceanologyVegetationAngiospermsGeomorphologyReportBickerton, I.
