This study established that the exchange of terrigenous sediments as well as that of water between Tana and Sabaki estuaries and the Indian Ocean portray both tidal and seasonal variations. The movement of the plumes within Ungwana Bay was observed to shift in response to changes in the direction and intensity of the monsoon systems, which not only control climate in the region, but also influence the movement of wind-driven coastal ocean currents.Page Range
