The Moruka River or Moruca River is a river in the Barima-Waini region of northern Guyana.[1][2]
The mouth of the river opens to the Atlantic Ocean.[3] Mangrove forests make up the shoreline, turning into swampy savannah wetlands as it moves west. The Moruka River's water level varies dramatically depending on the season.[4]
