Salinity varies within the estuary and depend on other factors such as tides. Estuaries are essentially where freshwater from rivers, streams, etc, meet with saltwater from the ocean. The range of salinity within an estuary is typically between 0-25ppt, and that is between where the mouth of the river ends on to where the ocean begins. PPT stand for parts per thousand, just in case you did not know.
