As part of a pre-tour for guiding a group next week, I visited (yesterday, Friday) the Nahal Alexander estuary. I will tell more next week, after the tour. Attached a few photos from yesterday
In the meantime, some information from the website of the Israeli Center for the study of estuaries:
Estuaries are a unique habitat where seawater mixes with fresh water, thus creating a constantly changing ecosystem in terms of salinity and temperature, which in turn, affect many other environmental variables. The Israeli estuarine research center of the Israeli faculty of Marine Sciences at the Ruppin Academic Center is monitoring the Israeli estuaries starting with the Alexander estuary and the marine and coastal environments near its outfall Since 2014. In 2021 the monitoring plan was expanded to most of the Israeli coastal streams.
