Those two gulfs have changed quite a bit in recent times, past few hundred years even. Old British maps show the gulfs changing their shape, depth and reach into the land as the ocean ebbed and flowed. The soil is soft, and the area could've been where the ancient Saraswate river is alleged to have emptied into the ocean. Some reports said an ancient riverbed had been found recently.

That area is waiting for some city to rise up out of the ooze. I hope.

"Some reports said an ancient riverbed had been found recently."

I'm pretty sure I read that too. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything on it though.
