LIFE IN ESTUARIES

An estuary is when a river and an ocean meet forming saltwater to mix with freshwater. Clean water which comes from the land slowly mixes from rivers and the oceans into estuaries, which means this is a very good place for animals and plants to live because of the mixture of water. Then the nutrients get transported by the wind, tides and currents through the environment. There are about 3 percent of estuaries that are on the coastline of places and 80 percent that are actually controlled by living animals.
