Turbid Coastal Plume of the Elwha River, Washington
Turbid Coastal Plume of the Elwha River, WashingtonThe turbid waters of the Elwha River and the coastal waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca mix directly offshore of the river mouth, forming a large coastal plume. This plume is easily identified by the cloudiness of the water (or "turbidity") resulting from sediment discharged by the river. Two large dams on the Elwha River are being incrementally r
