Estuaries cover approximately 2% of the world's ocean coastline. Despite their relatively small area, they are crucial ecosystems that provide habitat for a diverse range of wildlife and serve as important buffers against flooding and erosion. Estuaries also play a significant role in nutrient cycling and support various human activities, including fishing and recreation.

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.
