Estuaries
are
partially
enclosed
bodies
of
water
along
coastlines
where
fresh
water
and
salt
water
meet
and
mix.
They
act
as
a
transition
zone
between
oceans
and
continents.
This
site
examines
various
aspects
of
estuaries,
focusing
on
the
geological
features
that
make
an
estuary,
as
well
as
the
water
circulation
patterns
by
which
they
are
classified.
