DISCLAIMER: BREEDE RIVER ESTUARY NAVIGATIONAL GUIDE

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE — READ BEFORE NAVIGATING

The Lower Breede River Conservancy Trust (LBRCT) has developed and produced a navigational guide map in the interests of promoting safe boating and fishing on the Breede River Estuary. The map is intended to assist river users by highlighting known or reported navigational hazards, shallow-water areas and sandbanks that may become exposed at low tide.

This map is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not a guarantee of navigational safety and is to be used entirely at the user’s own risk. Furthermore, it is not exhaustive, may not reflect current river conditions, and must not be relied upon as a substitute for proper navigation, official navigational information, local knowledge or sound judgement.

ALL BOATING AND WATERCRAFT ACTIVITIES ON THE BREEDE RIVER ESTUARY ARE UNDERTAKEN ENTIRELY AT THE OPERATOR’S OWN RISK.

Water levels, tides, currents, sediment movement and other environmental conditions can change rapidly, creating hazards that may be unmarked, newly formed or not depicted on the map.

The LBRCT is a local conservancy and is not mandated or responsible for the identification, marking, maintenance, management or removal of any navigational hazards within the estuary. The development and distribution of this map do not constitute an assumption of responsibility for navigational safety, nor do they imply that all hazards have been identified, surveyed or recorded.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the LBRCT accepts no responsibility or liability for any loss, damage, injury or death arising from or in connection with the use of this map or any boating, fishing or other recreational activity on the river, including incidents involving grounding, collision, submerged obstructions, shallow water or exposed sandbanks.
