In this report available historical information on the Keurbooms/Bitou and Piesang Estuaries is presented. It entails information on marine ecology, river catchment, abiotics and biotics characteristics found in the estuaries. The Keurbooms, Bitou and Piesang rivers enter the sea in Plettenberg Bay which is a premier coastal holiday resort in the Cape Province. The region is characterised by extreme seasonal population fluctuations, inflated property prices and a relentless demand for the development of seaside accommodation.
