From where does the name of this article come?
The title of this article seems a little strange. To start out l'eau douce would probably mean fresh water rather than sweet water. (For what it is worth I don't know French, I just suspected this was the case from agua dulce in Castillian and água doce in Portuguese. I checked wiktionary and this seems to be the same for French as well.) This makes more sense in context as it is contrasted with la mer. What is particularly odd is that while the translation is very literal (perhaps to a fault) translating l'eau douce as sweet water, it translates la mer much less literally as salt [water].

The only reason I could see (there may be reasons I cannot see) for this weird title would be that it was the official title in some capacity however under the official titles the English title most similar is Between the Sweet and Salt Water which is similar but with a strange inversion on the order. This does seem to be the official English title and not a mistake so I am left wondering why this article is titled Between the Salt and Sweet Water, which is not official in any capacity I am aware of and as far as I can tell not a very good translation of the French.
