Details
An estuary is a semi-enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea. Estuaries are thus subject to both marine influences, such as tides, waves, and the influx of saline water; and riverine influences, such as flows of fresh water and sediment. As a result they may contain many biological niches within a small area, and so are associated with high biological diversity. Estuaries are typically the tidal mouths of rivers, and they are often characterized by sedimentation or silt carried in from terrestrial runoff and, frequently, from offshore. They are made up of brackish water. Estuaries are often given names like bay, sound, fjord, etc. The terms are not mutually exclusive. As ecosystems, many estuaries are under threat from human activities such as pollution and overfishing. Due to their suitability to human settlement, estuaries typically have a heavy human presence and of the 32 largest cities in the world, 22 are located on estuaries.
