Western boundary currents can have well-defined edges, is this true or false, its one of my review questions?

I'm having trouble finding the answer to this one, i looked in my text i cant seem to find this one.Western boundary currents can have well-defined edges, is this true or false, its one of my review questions?
All currents in the oceans have well defined boundaries or edges. It makes sense to think of them as rivers bound by water. Differences in temperature, salinity and sediments with resultant different colors make most ocean currents easily defined. Over distance the edges become less well defined as mixing occurs, similar to a stream breaking up as it becomes a swamp or river mouth delta.
