EstuariesDefinition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estuary) An estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea.
Estuaries form a transition zone between river environments and ocean environments and are subject to both marine influences, such as tides, waves, and the influx of saline water; and riverine influences, such as flows of fresh water and sediment. (Wikipedia) Preferred Units: N/A Scope Note:
