The name Silvermine apparently originates from attempts in the 1680s to mine silver in the valley through which this river flows. The old silver-mine workings consisting of the mine, a tunnel near the mine and a shaft are all that remain of this venture (Burman, 1962). The Silvermine River emerges onto the northern end of Fish Hoek beach after running through an artificial channel underneath the road and railway bridges. This report provides the historical overview of the Silvermine River, its estuary, abiotic and biotic characteristics.enEstuaries - South African estuarySilvermine estuaryCoastal researchSilvermine riverRiver catchmentAbiotic characteristicsBiotic characteristicsFloraCSIRCouncil for Scientific and Industrial CouncilNRIONational Research Institute for oceanologyFaunaCape estuariesReportEstuarine and Coastal Research Unit (1982). <i>Silvermine (CSW3)</i> (CSIR Research Report Number).
