From an environmental impact report for an offshore windpower project:
Sturmmöwen
Sturmmöwen halten sich in Gebieten mit niedrigem Salzgehalt, geringer Sichttiefe und während der Brutzeit unweit der Brutkolonien auf. Damit wurden sie, neben Heringsmöwen und Seeschwalben, den küstennah- lebenden Arten zugeordnet. Deren Vorkommen im Offshore-Bereich wird in Zusammenhang mit dem Nahrungsangebot, insbesondere dem Vorkommen von Sprotten in Zusammenhang gebracht. Die Konzentration von Sturmmöwen in der küstennahen sog. *„Elbwasser-Fahne“* wird auch durch einen Vergleich der Habitate von Eissturmvögeln und Sturmmöwen bestätigt

German term (edited):
Elbwasserfahne
Selected
Elbe river plume
It's the freshwater of the Elbe river flowing out into the sea; the phenomenon is easily visible from the air.
"Elbwasserfahne" seems to be the more commong spelling.

I meant "more common", of course. River plumes may be observed in other locations as well. There is, for example, a Mississippi river plume.

Elbe estuary water
This "so-called" probably means the writer invented the expression himself. This idea comes from across the North Sea, so it may just help:

Elbe river plume
There seems to be quite a bit of talk about the "river-ocean interface" but this might be the term you are looking for.
The second link is about the Mississippi, but the same general topic.

Elbe river plume
In the offshore region, concentrations were rather controlled by the influence of the **Elbe river plume** on
the Wadden Sea water, which strongly varies in time and space according to meteorology.
Im küstenferneren Bereich der Bucht scheint dagegen der Einfluss der **Elbwasserfahne** das Verteilungsmuster der Nährstoffe zu bestimmen, welcher entsprechend den unterschiedlichen meteorologischen Verhältnissen räumlich und zeitlich stark variiert.
