We have said this before and we will say it again, ad infinitum, that the natural breach of the Klein River is on the WESTERN side of the bearm. The Eastern breach position,also seen in this picture, is the historic ARTIFICIAL breaching position which has created a foot print seen in all aerial photographs of the estuary. This has been providing the stimulus for the knee jerk reaction we find in all the desk top, so called, scientific studies that pontificate about estuary function and river mouth positioning. Compounding, or perhaps even driving the pseudoscience is the expedient political lobby within the Overstrand municipality (treating the public like fools) who argue for the artificial Eastern breach to in fact protect the interest of Grotto beach's extent and its Blue Flag status, together with maintaining the artificial embankment created for the ill-concieved and totally unnecessary car park and picnic site.
