A meso tidal estuary is a coastal body of water where the tidal range— the difference between high and low tide—falls between 1 to 4 meters (approximately 3 to 13 feet). These estuaries are characterized by their dynamic mixing of freshwater from rivers and saltwater from the ocean, creating unique ecosystems that support diverse flora and fauna. The moderate tidal influence affects sediment transport, habitat formation, and nutrient cycling, making meso tidal estuaries vital for both ecological health and human activities.
