last year at this time, salinity in VBay at the point was 10PPT, it struggles to reach 1PPT now. The river has been low for well over a month, I just can't figure out why it won't turn over.
This gauge is at the point, the water in SWPass is green and salty but it just won't move in farther. There is a small rip a few miles in from the pass, but it is slow as molasses as it moves in and flushes out the fresh water.
