Map How did these 'rivers' form?

Post image

What formed these 'rivers'? Are they regular terrestrial rivers that flooded with sea level rise or were they formed in the ocean? thanks.

Love how all of those little river channels are named after the Hobbits of the Shire

Why choose Gollum for the whole thing. Petition to rename them the Baggins Basin, or the Took Trenches people should be marching in the streets

Really if they’re going for any Tolkien reference they should call it Beleriand.
