You can definitely find seaweed in estuaries. An estuary is defined as a place were sea tides and river water meet, at the mouth of the river. Due to high tides salt water can be forced a long way up the river, thereby creating a partially marine environment well inland. The salinity of the water therefore changes from high to low over a twelve-hour cycle, but many organisms, not just seaweeds, can cope with changes of salinity and colonise these estuarine areas. Algae such as the Bladderwrack, Fucus vesiculosus, have very high tolerance to low salt levels and can be found a long way inland of many river estuaries.

What are the three types of estuaries?

The three types of estuaries are coastal plain estuaries, bar-built estuaries, and tectonic estuaries. Coastal plain estuaries form when sea levels rise, flooding existing river valleys. Bar-built estuaries are separated from the ocean by sandbars or barrier islands. Tectonic estuaries result from land movement, such as faults or folding, creating a depression that fills with water.

What different types of estuaries are there?

Estuaries can be classified into four main types: deltaic, coastal plain, bar-built, and fjord. Deltaic estuaries form where rivers deposit sediment at their mouths, creating a delta. Coastal plain estuaries, also known as drowned river valleys, occur where rising sea levels flood existing river valleys. Bar-built estuaries are separated from the ocean by sandbars or barrier islands, while fjord estuaries are deep, glacially-carved valleys that are flooded by the sea.
