Lim Fjord

Quote: "The estuaries are sometimes confused with fags. The Lim bay in Istria, Croatia (Limski kanal in Croatian), is often called "Lim fjord" although it was not actually formed by glacial erosion but by the river Pazinčica."

This is a steep-sided ria in the non-tidal Adriatic. Is it an estuary? Is it relevant to this article? (RJP 10:33, 15 October 2005 (UTC))[reply]

First sentence, "An estuary is a mouth of a river with a triangle form" sounds too restrictive to me. For example, Puget Sound and Chesapeake Bay are called estuaries (among other things!), and neither is the mouth of a river (though many rivers flow into both), and neither is triangular in shape (especially Puget Sound!). I'll fix later if this baby stops crying. Pfly 21:37, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Limit between sea and river

To complete the article 'pole of inaccessibility' I need some info on how to define the boundary between river and ocean at river mouths. Where does the river end in an estuary? Where does the ocean start? Any kind of documentation or hints on this would really help, thanks. Post answers at my user page: User_talk:Andres72 or in the article itself.

Formatting troubles
