Estuaries are partially enclosed bodies of water where ocean salt water and fresh water mix. Estuaries vary in salt content. When tides rise, their salinity rises. When the tide falls, the estuary has a lower salinity. Some estuaries are protected and are not affected as much as others.

Why are estuaries such rich habitats for oraganisms?
They're the mouth of rivers, where the water can be either salt or fresh depending on the tides. Lots of things (plants and animal) live there and the ancestors of ALL land animal lived there about a half billion years ago. Note that there are animals and plants that live in the sea that never had anything to do with estuaries, and couldn't care less for their existence. But many of the animals that you are familiar with (like birds) use estuaries as breeding grounds.
