Mntafufu Estuary: General Land-Cover

The Mntafufu estuary (31°34' S; 29°38' E) lies north of the coastal town of Port St Johns on the Transkei coast of the Eastern Cape. This system drains a catchment area of approximately 178 sq. km. Approximately 38% of the Mntafufu catchment consisted of subsistence agriculture. A further 2% was degraded grassland while 60% was natural. The natural land-cover mainly comprised grassland, forest, and thicket and bushland. The Mntafufu catchment did not appear to be developed.
