estuaries and lagoons
it is a mix of fresh water and salt water
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.
yes. whales like belugas can live in warm water estuaries :D

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.

Dugongs live in estuaries.
Estuaries are critical to land and water because they are home to many forms of organisms and support high productivity. They are also where the salt water of the oceans is diluted from the fresh water of rivers.
