Tomaga
Tomaga River Estuary is located approximately 15km south of
Batemans Bay, in the Eurobodalla Shire. The entrance of the
Tomaga Estuary to the ocean separates the townships of Mossy Point
to the south and Tomakin to the north.
The Tomaga River Estuary is about 9km long and its catchment is
mostly forested and undeveloped, apart from the town of Mogo and
residential development in the lower 2km of the estuary.
The Tomaga Estuary is classified as a coastal plain estuary.
The water of the Tomaga Estuary is well mixed and generally
shallow. The estuary has good water quality, extensive
seagrass beds and intertidal sandflats and is permanently open to
the ocean. The Tomaga Estuary has mangrove and saltmarsh areas that
are in good condition and contribute to an important feeding area
for fish and birds.
The Tomaga River is classified as a recreational fishing
haven and is protected from commercial fishing with no
trawling, mesh nets or haul nets allowed. For more
