FUN FACTS
​
31 large river mouths have been identified between Sarnia and Tobermory.
​
River Mouths have high rates of sediment deposition, and when this water moves farther out into the nearshore it can form a "plume". The plume shape leaving the river can vary greatly depending on the wind and wave conditions. Important during spring high water flows.
