	Biodiversity - Ecological Communities - A Biological Survey of the Murray Mouth Reserves
		The Murray Mouth Reserves incorporate the range of habitats that remain in a natural and semi-natural state at the terminus of the Murray River and the tidal inlet for the Coorong.
		The Biological Survey of the Murray Mouth Reserves aimed to describe the remaining habitats in the area, to document the flora and fauna, and to map the remnant native vegetation communities of islands of the Murray Mouth at 1: 50,000 scale.
		The reserves and private lands of the Murray Mouth region represent a contrast of relatively intact coastal marine habitats along the major peninsulas and the largely cleared or degraded habitats of the islands.

	Murray River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Murray Mouth is the point at which the Murray river meets the Southern Ocean.
		Since the early 2000s, dredging machines have operated at the Murray Mouth, moving sand from the channel to maintain a minimal flow from the sea and into the Coorong's lagoon system.
		Small-scale pumping plants began drawing water from the Murray in the 1850s and the first large-volume plant was constructed at Mildura in 1887.

	WorldNetDaily: Murray's mouth has challengers lining up
		Murray told school children bin Laden was beloved by his people because of his compassionate social spending programs.
		However, as WorldNetDaily reported, Murray was one of 13 U.S. senators to urge the Bush administration to send $30 million in emergency taxpayer aid to his Taliban hosts to relieve widespread starvation and a refugee crisis in Afghanistan just five months before Sept. 11.
		Despite Murray's claim that bin Laden had invested heavily in social infrastructure and improved lives among the people who supported him, five months before Sept. 11 she was describing an Afghanistan on the verge of social catastrophe.

	RMUU Website - Saving Water in the Murray Darling Basin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Control of the Murray has caused the overall volume of water passing through the Murray Mouth to be reduced.
		Although this is largely due to the upstream harnessing of the Murray-Darlings natural flow and the increasing diversions of water from the basin, the barrages have further reduced the flow passing in and out of the mouth under the influence of ocean tides.
		Current outflows of the Murray Mouth are now only a third of the natural outflows, and periods of four to five years of little outflow can be expected.

		During low flows prior to the commissioning of the barrages, tidal effects and the intrusion of seawater were felt up to 250km upstream from the mouth of the Murray River.
		The purpose of this reclamation was to minimise sand drift entering the river between the barrages and the river mouth, and to maintain the protecting peninsula between the Goolwa Barrage and the sea.
		For example, near the mouth of the Murray River, mean annual rainfall is about 450mm, whereas the mean annual evaporation is about 1600mm.

	Ecological fears for mouth from the south - smh.com.au
		The national drought is affecting farms, backyard gardens and, no doubt, raincoat sales, but its effect on the mouth of the Murray in South Australia has brought cries of alarm and projections of ecological disaster.
		With the Murray mouth only a few metres wide, a decision has been made this week to start dredging up to 400,000 cubic metres of sand at a cost of about $2million to open it, let the sea back in and out and give the fish freedom of movement.
		With no flow of fresh water, deltas had built up inside the mouth of the river, virtually blocking off access by seawater and leaving the huge wetlands area, the Coorong, exposed to disaster, with temperatures rising, water becoming deoxygenated, fish dying and migratory wading birds looking elsewhere.

		"Urgent intervention is required to prevent the mouth of the Murray from closing and I am pleased the Murray-Darling Basin Commission (MDBC) has today agreed to develop practical plans to keep the mouth of the Murray River open," Mr Truss said.
		"It is important to keep the Murray mouth, and the entrance to the Coorong open, to prevent any habitat decline and to allow tidal flushing of the Coorong," Dr Kemp said.
		"Maintaining an open channel at the Murray mouth is a key aspect of the Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council's work to manage structures and resources of the River Murray to improve the River's environmental health," Dr Kemp said.

	Navigating the Murray
		I should caution that coming in through the Murray Mouth is far from recommended and many lives have been lost even by experienced skippers.
		When the tide is running out of the mouth literally hundreds of kilometres of water is trying to squeeze out a 50 foot opening, needless to say the unsuspecting skipper can find him or herself heading for disaster if not alert when crossing this area.
		The fishing is often good with huge Mulloway being caught around the mouth at various times of the year and large clean school Mullet also being a common catch much of the year.

		With a closed Murray Mouth and the average evaporation of water in the lakes at half a billion gallons a day, the salt that comes downstream has nowhere to go.
		A closed mouth also means that sea water at high tide can't enter the Coorong, which becomes stagnent.

		Inspired by her own experiences as a teenage runaway in Europe, Alison Murray's Mouth to Mouth is an erratic, often frustrating blend of conventional narrative and choreographed movement.
		Although this debut feature has many virtues—chief among them Canadian newcomer Ellen Page's emotionally honest performance—it's ultimately undermined by Murray's shallow and unfocused approach to her potentially compelling portrait of a young woman in the thrall of a radical street collective.
		Mouth to Mouth begins in the streets of Berlin, where Sherry (Page) falls in with the homeless teens and recovering heroin addicts who comprise the group SPARK: Street People Armed with Radical Knowledge.
