An estuary is a coastal area where freshwater from rivers and streams meets and mixes with saltwater from the ocean. It serves as a transitional zone between river environments and marine ecosystems, playing a crucial role in supporting diverse wildlife and serving as important habitats. Estuaries are characterized by their brackish water, which has a mix of salinity.
